The American Idol Season 12 Top 8 will be faced with a tricky theme this Wednesday (8/7c on Fox): Detroit: The Music of Motor City.
Yep, it’s essentially another way of saying Motown Week, and as such, I’m gritting my teeth bracing for an onslaught of songs we’ve already heard one too many times in prior Idol seasons — “(Love Is Like a) Heat Wave,” “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)” and “Let’s Get It On” to name a few.

Former The Temptations star Ali-Ollie Woodson has died following a battle with leukaemia. The singer, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2008, passed away in California on Sunday, May 30, according to Motown Alumni Association President Billy Wilson. He was 58.
Born Ollie Cregget in Detroit, Michigan, Woodson began his career as a member of Bill Pinkney's Original Drifters in the early 1970s, but he rose to fame as a member of the Motown quintet in the 1980s, joining the group as a replacement for Dennis Edwards after he was fired in 1984.
He co-wrote, co-produced and sang lead vocals for the hit single "Treat Her Like a Lady" but left the band in 1986.
