The Beatles + American Idol = Tru Luv

Sony/ATV has finally loosened the reins on the Beatles’ songbook, allowing American Idol contestants to have their way with the words of Lennon, McCartney, et al. AI, now in its seventh season, has been Beatles-free from the start, broadcasting gems such as last season’s “British Invasion” night, which featured not one song by the Fab Four, which… well… you know…

As America breathes a collective sigh of relief, I am wondering who will take on ‘When I’m Sixty-Four.’ Chikezie Eze? I’m looking at you.
