KISS have made Foxnews.com's, list of the 10 Songs American Idol Finalists Should Avoid Like The Plague.
'Rock 'n Roll All Nite' is described as follows: Even Kiss couldn't hit the charts right away with this anthem: The studio version didn't crack the Top 40 at first - but the live take went to No. 12 in 1975. As a true band song, it's not really for a solo voice.
Adds Don McGhee, CEO McGhee Entertainment - and Kiss's manager. "When choosing a song, contestants should recognize what aspect of the song made it a hit - whether it be lyrical or musical content. (In 'All Nite') the harmonies and mix both on-stage and on the album are far more advanced than can be produced on the set of 'American Idol.' I wish that the contestants would focus on what constitutes a strong live performance and apply vocal stylings that can be adapted to fit their personalities."
