I watched - or rather skipped through - the TV program American Idol episode where the contestants sang songs by John Lennon and Paul McCartney of the Beatles.
The performances were uninspired and disconnected from the genius of the Beatles. I can only guess that the performers are too young to know or care about songs written 50 years before their time or the show's music directors saddled the contestants with dull adaptations of the music.
There are plenty of cover versions of Lennon/McCartney songs that are inspired and fun, even albums of tributes.
None here.
In my opinion the performance of "I Will" was the best of the lot. The performance of "In My Life" the worst.
These performances had all the creativity of a dog food commercial.
No idol here.
