General: World first for an Idol finalist to sing their own original song?

Submitted by admin on 27 September, 2006 - 11:34am.

Which Idol finalists (in any country) have sung one of their own songs during the finals part of the competition? Or, is this a world-first?

No, it's not originals, it's 'play an instrument if you want to' week

"For the first time in Idol history, contestants have been given the option of playing with a musical instrument and fans have been looking forward to this innovative addition to the Idol format".

They are all singing covers...

How long was these people on the idol show and did they sing it in the top 10 rounds

Thanks! I knew someone on here would know - what songs did they sing which were their own - I tried to find out but couldn't spot the originals.

Tone Anette Eidsheim Elde came 6th out of the Top 9 in Season 1 of Norwegian Idol singing: Sommerfuggel I Vinterland by Halvdan Sivertsen, Hello by Lionel Ritchie, Sacrifice by Elton John, Upside Down by Diana Ross - I couldn't see an original?

I can't remember the name of Tone's but Magaret's was 'Were You Worth My Tears' and it was soooooooo amazing

Thanks! But that was in the Top 50 round she sang that, not in the finals.

I follow most of the idol shows around the world and i think this is the world's first. GO BEN you are the man for doing this.

Then I guess you don't follow Norway or you'd know the World Idol Kurt Nilsen sang his own song "Wedding's off" in the finale of Norwegian Idol.
