American Idol's top 12 perform on Tuesday. As usual, once the finals begin we'll be "treated" to a series of theme nights. This week it's the songs of Stevie Wonder. Ho hum. Nothing against Stevie Wonder, but why pick someone that most of the contestants sing already?

But, Stevie Wonder it is, and here are my recommendations for each of our lovely and talented finalists.

Ace: I don't know if Ace can sing up tempo songs. If he can, then "Sir Duke", if not, then "Isn't She Lovely". Either way he can throw in a little falsetto and freak people out.

Bucky: What is Bucky supposed to do with a theme like this? My recommendation would be to pick a ballad and try to countrify it. It should sound so completely different from the original version that it can't really be judged against it. So, how about a country arrangement of "I Just Called To Say I Love You". If he pulled it off, it could be great.

Chris: If he wants to win, "Higher Ground" a la the Red Hot Chili Peppers is the no brainer choice.

Elliott: "Send One Your Love" isn't about range, it's a song that highlights phrasing and tempo, which are Elliott's strong points. I think he'd do a stellar version of it.

Katharine: "If You Really Love Me" has a jazzy feel to it. If she doesn't sing it then Elliott should.

Kellie: "For Once In My Life" is an Idol favorite and a good song for someone like Kellie who's an okay singer but is basically getting by because the judges are pimping her so hard. She's not a challenge and neither is this song.

Kevin: We all know he's already going to sing "My Cherie Amour", right? It's inevitable.

Lisa: She wants to sing rock, so this week doesn't help her. She could try to rock out a little on "I Ain't Gonna Stand For It".

Mandisa: "Signed, Sealed, Delivered". I can already hear her exhuberant take on this.

Melissa: After last week, Melissa is in the "rocker chick" box. So, to stay in that box she should try singing "I Was Made To Love Her", but change the "her" to "him" so voters aren't scared off by any lesbian references. Like it really matters. I'm sure Melissa is getting voted out no matter what she sings.

Paris: "Uptight" would be a good bouncy choice for Paris. The judges won't love it, but there's not a lot of good Stevie Wonder songs for her unless she chooses something like this.

Taylor: "Superstition". It's not that I think Taylor is very funky, but I can easily imagine him doing his twitchy, herky jerky Elaine Bennis dance while singing this.
