Season 5 CD - To Buy, Or Not To Buy

I’m trying to decide if I really want to purchase the “Season 5 Encores CD” that’s available. Part of me would like to have it, but it just doesn’t have the songs I’d prefer to hear on the album. How do they choose the songs that make it? Listed below are the songs that are on it, then the songs I wish were on it from each singer.

What’s actually on the album

1. What About Love – Melissa
2. Superstition – Bucky
3. Every Woman – Mandisa
4. Wanted Dead or Alive – Chris
5. Father Figure – Ace
6. Takin’ It To The Street – Taylor
7. Signed, Sealed, Delivered – Lisa
8. Walkin’ After Midnight – Kelli
9. Moody’s Mood for Love – Elliott
10. Think – Katharine
11. Midnight Train to Georgia – Paris
12. When I Fall In Love – Kevin

And my requests:

1. What About Love – Melissa
2. Superstition – Bucky
3. Don’t You Worry ‘Bout a Thing – Mandisa
4. I Walk the Line – Chris
5. In the Still of the Night – Ace
6. You Are So Beautiful – Taylor
7. Signed, Sealed, Delivered – Lisa
8. Walkin’ After Midnight – Kelli
9. Home – Elliott
10. Somewhere Over the Rainbow – Katharine
11. Midnight Train to Georgia – Paris
12. One Last Cry – Kevin

So, there you go. 5 of 12 stayed the same. Is that worth $7? Probably. I’ll definitely be getting their individual albums though when they come out. I think this season will probably have the most successful finalist group ever.
