Today’s USA Today takes a behind-the-scenes peek at American Idol‘s top-four week, where the remaining contestants will try to put their imprimatur on the songs of the Bee Gees. It’s full of tidbits about the contestants and the show (Jordin likes to shop! Blake carries around a laptop! Wednesday’s show will have some awkward Fantastic Four cross-promotion and a Hard Day’s Night homage!), and the details of what the final four will be singing tonight, which are listed after the jump:

Jordin: “To Love Somebody,” “Woman in Love” Melinda: “Love You Inside Out,” “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart” Blake: “You Should Be Dancing” (allegedly with beatboxing), “This Is Where I Came In” LaKisha: “Run To Me,” “Stayin’ Alive”

We’re completely unsurprised by LaKisha’s pick of “Stayin’ Alive”–her song choices seem to be dictated equally by past Idol winners and Lite-FM programmers. But we’re more surprised that no one picked “Tragedy”–surely that song would have been great for a beatboxing middle eight.
