It was done by Vertical Herizon a few years ago and that is where you have probably heard it to, it was redone by Gary Allen to fit into the country genre last night. :-) I thought Chris and Kellie were the best last night and hope that Ace is the one to go home, just as people are sick with Kellie's "stupid blonde" act, I am sick of Ace's "I am such a heart throb" performances.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24097106.post-1144250180901092782006-04-05T11:16:00.000-04:002006-04-05T11:16:00.000-04:00I'm with you on Chris.

Nice to be reminded that he can flat out sing.<BR/><BR/>As for Bucky, I was shocked that during country week he would pick about the least country song of the group (except for Paris). In fact, I've heard Bucky's song alot of times, and don't listen to country radio. I didn't even know it was a country song. Maybe I missed something, but I thought Bucky played away from his strengths and did a poor job when he should have had a cake walk. <BR/><BR/>As for the eventual winner, it's between Katherine, Chris and Taylor (even after Taylor's weak performance last night.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24097106.post-1144242290148542122006-04-05T09:04:00.000-04:002006-04-05T09:04:00.000-04:00Yow! Fair enough, I'll take that criticism. And I ...Yow! Fair enough, I'll take that criticism. And I appreciate the comments! But I should note...<BR/><BR/>1) My bottom three isn't made up of who I think should go, but who I think WILL go. Believe me, even though I thought Ace was ok last night, I'd be the last person to shed a tear if America decides to say farewell to him and his falsetto.<BR/><BR/>2) I do not hate Bucky and Kellie. In fact, I probably should have given Kellie a bit more credit - her performance was one of the night's best. Bucky was ok, and I generally like his voice, but he's never going to be the American Idol.<BR/><BR/>3) I'm standing by my assessment of Chris as one of the night's best, even if - as the judges correctly pointed out - his song wasn't exactly the most exciting choice.Jen Aronoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01143735560541943835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24097106.post-1144241843036424202006-04-05T08:57:00.000-04:002006-04-05T08:57:00.000-04:00Chris was not the best last night, but Kellie in n...Chris was not the best last night, but Kellie in no way "stole the show" or was even one of the best. She'll last a few more weeks, only because there are still some weak folks left in this thing. The only 2 who have a chance to be stars after Idol are Katherine and Chris. The rest are good amateurs but not pro quality, including Kellie. You can't even compare her to Katherine, who is miles ahead of Kellie "I'm just a good ol' country girl who gets $300 haircuts" Pickler. And to clear it up, yes - Kellie is really dumb. But she's not AS dumb as she plays on TV. She's overdone it to get votes and everyone sees through it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24097106.post-1144239689638832932006-04-05T08:21:00.000-04:002006-04-05T08:21:00.000-04:00Totally agree with Anonymous there. Kellie stole ...Totally agree with Anonymous there. Kellie stole the show last night - she was great. And Bucky did really well. I was surprised. I adore Taylor, but he was horrible last night and did not even seem liked he cared that he was there. <BR/> <BR/>My bottom three:<BR/> 1. Mandisa (She didn't change a thing about that song)<BR/> <BR/> 2. Taylor (Sorry, Man. It's still all good, dude.)<BR/> <BR/> 3. Ace. Just because. He needs. to. leave.

CHRIS was best? No, my tone deaf dear. Chris ...Wow. CHRIS was best? No, my tone deaf dear. Chris was so weak and dull that only Taylor's imitation of the living dead kept him Chris being the worst guy. Clearly, you don't listen to country music. Clearly, you hate Bucky and Kellie, who were easily the best of the night.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
