A.I. Stir

THIS WEEK COULD BE ALL ABOUT THE GUYS

Tonight's mentor is Jon Bon Jovi, and that means song choices could be tough for the Idol contestants. Let's face it, not everyone can (successfully) sing Bon Jovi. We're just wondering who will be the one to butcher Livin' on a Prayer (Chris, anyone?).

Idol's arranger and pianist Michael Orland thinks the girls have it especially rough.

"I think the guys definitely have an advantage singing Bon Jovi songs," he told Entertainment Weekly. "Whatever the girls do, they should get extra props for having to sing a guy rock 'n' roll-vibe song."

Although he didn't get into specifics, he said one contestant in particular had no problem choosing a song.

"What I will say about Jordin is that the second it was announced we were doing a Bon Jovi week, she requested her song early," he said. "She knew exactly what she was going to sing."

Hmmm . . . Livin' on a Prayer, perhaps?
