American Idol Dreams: If next week is 80's Week...

If next week follows the theme and is Songs of the 80's, here are some songs I think they should sing (and the Erasure song I wish they would sing, but never ever will - this is limited because Erasure only released 4 of their 13 studio albums in the 80's. . . I found a bunch of songs I wanted to include off of 1991's Chorus, which I just adore, but alas, it was released too recently.)

Please feel free to add your thoughts.
