Am I the only one who is confused by American Idol’s “mentor” choice for Rat Pack Week?

Michael Buble? Too obvious.

Harry Connick, Jr.? Nah.

Producers chose Jamie Foxx to “coach” the Top 5 on the nuances of singing these classic American standards.

Because an R&B artist with an album called “Peep This” is the natural fit for Rat Pack Week.

Could you find an artist with less of a connection to Big Band / Jazz? What, was Quiet Riot not available? Was Ted Nugent not available?

I hear Mickey Gilley is going to be the guest mentor for next week’s hip-hop themed episode.
