Next week’s theme: Teen Idols

The theme for Tuesday night's two-hour performance show is Teen Idols, a first for "American Idol" in its nine seasons on the air. Fox made the announcement following Wednesday's elimination episode, but offered no details on the criteria.

Who of the 11 remaining finalists is most likely to make a beeline for the Backstreet Boys catalog? Big Mike? Will Aaron Kelly take on the JoBros or the Biebs? Do the Beatles count? How about Jackson Five or the Beach Boys? (Crystal on "God Only Knows" could be hot, as Randy would say.) And, considering the tattoo she so proudly showed us at last week's Top 12 party, we'd be shocked if Siobhan doesn't have her way with Hanson. (To that end, we nominate the band's beautiful ballad "Underneath"; video below.)

So many possibilities to ponder over the weekend. What song or group would you want to hear your favorite season 9er sing?
