American Idols – Songs about Security/Power/Fear

American IdolsDuring this series on American Idols, we’ve invited everyone to suggest songs about the theme for the week for us to vote on.  Below (in no particular order) are the songs that were suggested this past Sunday for next Sunday’s theme, security.  We asked people to submit song suggestions that were  not obviously positive or negative.  We were looking for songs that were in the gray area to make the voting a little more complicated.  Songs with one or more  asterisk showed up one or more times.  Come this Sunday and see which song(s) we’ve picked.  Then vote!
