Pop! Quiz: What should Adam Lambert sing on tonight's "American Idol"?

Time for another Pop! Quiz, everyone!

One of the fun parts of following American Idol is pairing up the remaining singers with songs from this week's theme. With this week's theme reportedly coming from the iTunes Top 100, this week the singers will need to stand out while performing a song currently playing on the radio.

Over the past couple weeks, he's wowed us with his versions of "Ring of Fire" and "Tracks of My Tears." What song would you like to see Adam Lambert perform next?

A few of our suggestions, after the jump!

Looking at the list provided by Zap2It, the song that stands out to me is Seether's rock ballad cover of "Careless Whisper". Then again, if he wants to do something different, I could see the Adam who made a splash with his version of "Black or White" killing it with a pop-rock song like P!nk's "So What".

Let us know what you think in the comments below!

    I've heard the theme is

    I've heard the theme is even more broad, "Top Itunes Downloads" which could be any big pop songs since 2001.

    I'd love to see him interpret Lady Gaga's Just Dance or Rhianna's Disturbia. And there's always Gnarls Barkley's Crazy which anyone who's searched for him on youtube has seen him camping up.

    I'm always surprised with Adam though, so who knows. That's a big part of why he's amazing.

    one more...

    Or Katy Perry's I kissed a girl would be hilariously great way of messing with America and the idol producers.

    That was my first thought, too

    Probably wishful thinking, but he could sing the crap out of that one and make it something legendary.

    But if they do have to pick from that current list it's clearly "Jai Ho", all the way.

    Haha, that would be great...

    It would be very remniscent of Lance Bass dancing to the song, lol

    I say he should perform Love Who You Love by Rascall Flatts, or if he wants to take a step away from the rock-like genre then I wouldn't mind hearing him perform How Do You Sleep by Jesse McCartney (yes, I admit it, I like J-Mac *blushes*)

    Great

    Minds. I mentioned that very song here at AfterElton a couple of weeks ago and I still think it would be a terrific choice.
