Ruben Studdard's "Celebrate Me Home" - The Final American Idol Closing Song?
We've already been through Ferras' "Hollywood's Not America" in Hollywood Week and Graham Colton's "Best Days" in the guys and girls competitions that weed out an additional 12 hopefuls. Now the word is that the exit music for the American Idol finals that start when we get to the final 12 performers will be a cover version of Kenny Loggins' "Celebrate Me Home" by past Idol winner Ruben Studdard. The official word is that he was chosen after the producers saw the warm welcome he received on last year's finale show. However, it seems that the fact Studdard's sales have tanked might lead his management, American Idol's 19 Entertainment, to seek out a way to make him commercially viable again. Need I remind you that Daniel Powter's "Bad Day" sold nearly 2 million copies after being featured as exit music on American Idol?

Here’s the lyrics:
Artist: Ruben Studdard
Song: Celebrate Me Home
I’m going home today,
I believe I’ve missed each and every face,
get there and play my music,
Turn on every love light in the place
It’s time I found myself,
Totally surrounded in the circles
Oh oh, my friends
Please, celebrate me home,
Give me a number,
please, celebrate me home
Play me one more song,
That I’ll always remember,
I can recall
whenever I find myself too all alone,
I can sing me home.
Uneasy highway,
Traveling where the Westerly winds can fly,
Somebody tried to tell me,
But the man forgot to tell me why,
I gotta count on being gone,
Come on mama, come on daddy,
Be what you want me as
I’m this strong, I’ll be weak
Please, celebrate me home,
Give me a number,
please, celebrate me home
Play me one more song,
That I’ll always remember,
I can recall,
whenever I find myself too all alone,
I can make believe I’ve never gone.
Please, celebrate me home,
Give me a number,
please, celebrate me home
Play me one more song,
…
Play me one more song,
Hey,
somebody said,
celebrate me home
i cant, wait to see ya,
i can’t, wait to hold you,
you know i miss you, yeah.
come on and,
Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate me home,
Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate me home,
Well you know I’m finally here,
And you don’t have to worry,
no,no…
no no no no no no
So come on and celebrate, celebrate, celebrate me home.
