"And there it finally was." |
Peeps have been complaining all season that there have been no memorable performances from this season, no one who has just blown you away with a song you couldn't forget.Well, no more complaining. Thanks to Bo, we certainly can take that issue off the board. His risky, haunting and INCREDIBLE a capella performance last night probably won this competition for him. When I heard he was going to sing without the band, I was shocked and thought it was an awful idea. Honestly, I thought that the band wasn't getting it right and it was too late to change songs - but that was just insanely god. I don't know that we'll ever hear it on the radio (probably will), but it will certainly remain as one of the outstanding songs in the history of American Idol.

I have already replayed Bo's singing "Within a Dream" several times. I absolutely do not tire of it; it is that good.I agreed when Paula said last night: "America, you have one more week to see Bo for free". Well, maybe I almost agree: AI will be having Bo back in future years, you can bet on it, so I'll have my vcr ready for when Bo makes his encore performances. I also think that soon AI will run a primetime special with the "best of" AI showcasing all their top earners/preformers from the four seasons: Kelly, Clay, Ruben, Fantasia, Bo and ??? Carrie? Vonzel? It seems clear to me that even if Bo is not voted AI, it will be like the Clay/Ruben year with Bo selling as many or more than whoever is voted AI. I say let Bo do more chosing what to sing and not the judges or Clive!

It WAS great and, I think, very surprisingly so. When I first heard that song choice I shuddered for poor Bo. But not only did he pull it off, he was truly awesome last night.This competitition is now his to lose - and this is coming from a Carrie fan.

LAST EDITED ON 05-18-05 AT 03:51 PM (EST)Many performers can sing the notes
right, and many can be
trained to make them sound
good. But the trick
is bringing that something extra
to a performance that makes
it unique. This is why a performer such as Bo can win this show. He has that something extra that the others do not. Carrie can sing but she doesn't have that something special. Same with Vonzell. That is why Fantasia won last year, because she had that extra quality that draws people. If Harold does not win this, I will be shocked.

What you said. Bo was truly amazing last night, he just owned the whole show from the moment the first note came from his mouth. However, I do have a question. Am I the only one here that thinks that during the end of his second song, when the camera got real close to Bo's face, did he or did he not look like Jesus?

>And we know what Jesus looked like how? Because we have any existing pictures of what He actually looked like? Or because we automatically think that anyone with a beard and long hair resembles Jesus? Not that I have anything against Bo - but I sincerely doubt he resembled Jesus. Our life experiences are reflected in our faces... and Bo's life experiences compared with Jesus' cannot in any way be similar. Sorry. It's just one of my pet peeves when people profess to know what Jesus looked like. We have no idea. Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming...

<Pardon me if I offended you, but for God's sake, I was making a joke. If you had a problem with it, you should have PMed me. You have completely dumbfounded me. Where the hell is Shakes when I need him so that he can call your post the dumbest post ever. IT WAS A JOKE!!!>
?????
I did not take it as a "joke" because I was raised not to joke about Jesus.
However, if it was just a joke why are you biting my head off? You said if I did not agree with you I should have PM'd you - if everyone had to do that if they disagreed with another poster's point there would be a lot of PM'ing and hardly any posting. I did not attack you personally; I disagreed with the point you made. Disagreement is welcome here. At least I thought it was. Do you not agree? And lastly, why is it "dumb" if I choose to express my opinion? Is it "dumb" because my opinion differs from yours? Why get all defensive? When I said it was a "pet peeve" that pretty much allowed that I was on a soapbox. Since when are soapboxes not allowed on message boards? I certainly did not expect this angry of a response. I cannot apologize for my post, as it was made from a place of conviction. But I do apologize if I hurt your feelings in any way.

Hey, PRE! Even my 6 year old daughter was mesmerized by this performance! She hardly pays attention to the show (pretty bored by it), and usually "roots" for the girls that look most like her friends or her Barbies. But last night, as I was starting to power-vote for Bo, she said, "Are you voting for that boy that sang with no band?" Yes. "Can I help you vote for him?" She even made tally marks for times we got through compared to times we got the busy message (41-39 in a 20 min. period!) She loved that it was his voice answering! Me, too!

<times we got through compared to times we got the busy message All I got were busy messages. Hope that's good for him, though I expect the other four lines were just as busy. Didn't Seacrest say only 1% was separating the votes? Bo's performance should have pulled votes from the other two, if genres weren't dictating votes. However, I think that's the case. Can't wait for tonight's show. 
Everyone is entitled to my opinion.

I'll be the lone dissenter here:Bo was O period K period. His acapella was good, but not great. He needs better range for something like that. But for what he had, he did good. Also, The Stones should sue for the way the half-assed it through their song. But all in all, he was pretty good last night. Also, I wished Clive would've given his honest critique. Because from some of the comments he was making last, it sounded like "the man with the golden ears" may be losing his hearing. Vonzell's rendition of Deon Warwick's song was forgettable, and Carrie's Shania song wasn't nothing to sing home about either. Clive was way too nice. I'm not saying he should go Simon on them, but he sure did sugar coat it last night. That being said, I think the Vonz is the odd man out. But it should be her and Carrie battling it out next week. Bo's fifteen minutes are almost up.

Cappy Gets my vote.I don't know. Something just really turned me off about Bo last night. I think that American Idol is a pop singing competition, it is not a rock or even an r and b competition. My proof is that Kelly and Clay were the only to even remotely sell big. They are pop singers, the large majority of American Idol viewers liked pop. They were sugar coated with Rueben and Fantasia, and when their albums came out, they were in the words of Simon, abysmal. I think the same will happen to Bo. I just don't think the American Idol fan base likes rock, nor do most of them (teenage girls mostly) even own a rock CD. Ok just my two-cents. I could be and probably am wrong, but had to get my oppinon out there.

It is "In a Dream": http://www.jakeelee.com/discography/lyrics/badlands/inadream.html Here are the lyrics: -----------
Lyrics originally transcribed by Marc Weatherhead for the
Japanese release of "Voodoo Highway".
Alterations, and many corrections by
Chris O'Neill and Rene Karwowski. In a Dream When I'm down and feeling low
And confusion has touched my soul
How I need some place where I can hide away
Let me fall within your arms
Melt away this cold I feel
All I need is to hold you tonight Hold me close when I'm cold
Let me hear your beating heart
Close my eyes far away in a dream
In the morning I wake and I'm blessed by God's grace
Just to open my eyes to see your face Hold you tonight sweet child
Never let me go
Tell me everything, oh, will be alright
In the morning I wake And I'm blessed by God's grace
Just to open my eyes to see your face Just to open my eyes to see your face Ah That's it!

Thanks! Wow, funny that it's Black Sabbath. The "blessed" and "God" references, plus the fact that Bo gave it some gospel shadings here and there had me thinking it might be something by a Christian band. Ha!

Actually, it's not Black Sabbath per se...it just has Black Sabbath connections via some of the musicians. The Black Sabbath website mentions some solo and other projects; Badlands is one of them. So Badlands is the group; Voodoo Highway is the album.

Roo, I feel the same way about Bo. I've never thought twice about buying a CD from anyone on AI. But I've been saying all along that I'd buy Bo's CD as soon as it came out. I love music from the 70's myself. Light rock, classic soul, Elton John, Chicago etc ... But Bo has something that I LOVE. I can see Bo going far with his singing career. I love everything about him -- the voice, his look, that hair. Good Lord I'm hot for that boy!!

I'll join Mr. Savem as a (albeit minor) dissenter. I'm a huge Bo fan, but there was something gimmicky about him going a capella that I didn't like. I didn't see why THAT song NEEDED to be a cappella. Without knowing what his reason was for doing it, I sort of thought it was designed to make himself stand out. Which I guess is fine (I know, it's a competition, etc., don't flame me), but it looked like a stunt to me. Bo doesn't need stunts. I will say that if you are going to do that, you had better a) pick a song with great lyrics, and b) sing realllllly well. Which he did. So I thought it worked okay, I just wasn't blown away by it like some others were.

<I just wasn't blown away by it like some others were. I can understand that, but I was simply blown away by the supreme confidence that took. A cappella (capella?) is difficult, and the singer runs many risks of getting off key or messing up somehow. )Don't you love my technical language?) It's the equivalent of Evel Kneival attempting a jump over a canyon - carefully thought out, physics applied, and banking on everything going perfectly. I enjoy people with that kind of chutzpah, no matter what their field of expertise is.
