What songs do you think the contestants should consider covering for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night?

Kayko was likely told no 'cause he isn't a producer favourite. I reckon if it was one of the more popular female contestants or Triston making that request that they'd agree to it.

 

The producers want a girl winning this season, but if Triston happens to be a force that can't be defeated, they won't fight back on that. Triston is probably the only male winner they'd be okay with.

While I agree that the producers want a girl winning this season (so do I), I suspect that it’s more likely that changing the lyrics just wasn’t allowed.

Is the person who came forth with this info on Kayko’s song choice someone know to have credible sources?

Changing the lyrics to a classic song would be a negative thing imo, so I feel like producers would want him to do that if they wanted him out?

 

I agree they want a girl but not sure this is a strong point lol.

 

What I mean is that if someone is a producer favourite that person can get away with anything like Clay Aiken singing the same song as Josh Gracin.

While I know it might be extremely risky to cover, especially given what a great job Candice Glover did covering it during Season 12, I wouldn't mind it if one of the contestants were to sing Lovesong by The Cure. Friday I'm in Love might be a better song for someone to possibly cover, though. I also wouldn't mind hearing another cover of Nothing Compares 2 U by Prince and I'll Stand by You by The Pretenders, although I would prefer it if a male could possibly sing I'll Stand by You instead of a female. I have a feeling Triston might cover something like Blaze Of Glory by Bon Jovi, but I wish he would consider covering something a little bit more unexpected than that, like the Dolly Parton version of I Will Always Love You. And finally, even though it's been covered way too much for my liking before, I wouldn't entirely hate it if McKenna were to cover The Chain by Fleetwood Mac.

A few more songs I think Abi might do a good job covering are I Want You to Want Me by Cheap Trick, Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day and Blackbird by The Beatles.

Will has some CCR covers, so I think that’s a possibility for him, if they can get one cleared.

I personally would love to hear McKenna sing some Fleetwood Mac or just some Stevie Nix. She would sound great on most of her songs.

Fleetwood Mac for Mckenna - also Sheryl Crow. The minute I heard her sing I immediately thought of Sheryl Crow. I can see her do most Sheryl hits well, from I Shall Believe and My Favorite Mistake to the rock-ish ones like You’re an Original.

I think some songs that could be interesting for Kayko to cover are Creep by Radiohead, Everybody Hurts by R.E.M., Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles and Just Like Heaven by The Cure. And I think I'd rather hear McKenna cover Will You Love Me Tomorrow by The Shirelles instead of Abi, should one of them decide to sing that song. McKenna might also sound good singing Son of a Preacher Man by Dusty Springfield or Here Comes The Sun by the Beatles.
