"Safety Dance"
LAST EDITED ON 05-25-05 AT 08:21 AM (EST)

S-s-s-s A-a-a-a F-f-f-f E-e-e-e T-t-t-t Y-y-y-y Safe-safe-safe-safe-ty Dance-dance-dance-dance...

Was it just me or did anybody else feel both contestants made really safe song choices last night? I don't think either performer pushed the boundaries of their voices. It seemed to me we saw just what we would expect from Bo and Carrie.

Don't get me wrong, they were both good. But I saw last night as an opportunity for either to just blow everybody away with something done great, but totally unexpected. Fantasia's song where she sat on the floor the whole time comes to mind.* Something like this could really separate yourself from your competition. But both wanted to stick with "their" style.

Perhaps I'm wrong. This close to the title, perhaps it's best to stick with what you know and you're known for. But I see it as an opportunity wasted and felt that even though the performances were good, as a show it was just aw'right for me, dawg. KnowwhatI'msayin'?

* I can't remember what the song was or even what round that was in, but I do remember it to be a defining moment for her. It was when most finally said, "Yup, she's the next Americon Idol."

You can dance if you want to...

I agree, but I think Bo already did that, last week with the acapella song.

another syren masterpiece

I think both did really well on their "favorite" songs, but the other two "original songs", which I think are ones that the winner will record or something, were dreadful. Especially for Bo, who's style doesn't fit those songs.


New from Sigs by Syren!!

Keep lookin' up, cuz that's where it all is. o-

"Summertime" was the song Fantasia sang.

Am i the only one who truly liked Bo's rendition of "Inside Your Heaven"? I didn't hate his first song either.

Bo sang them just fine. It's just the songs I didn't like, and I don't think they fit him. He CAN sing anything, but some things work better than others.

I think Bo did a very good job with a mediocre song.

He certainly outsang Carrie's version.



These reality show contestants need a reality check!

On two of the songs they had no choice. Then they chose a song that they had performed well on previously.

Fantasia's song was Summertime.

I agree, they had no choice on the original songs and they had a very limited choice on a repeat song from the season that they did well on.

are you sure they had no choice. Because I thought both got a little criticism on song choices on the originals. Bo for his first from Randy and Carrie, the same for her I think.

The judges didn't think the songs really suited them but Bo and Carrie didn't choose them.

The judges were criticizing the songs, not the song choices.

I dunno...

I really liked Vehicle, though my personal favorite of Bo's was Whipping Post. That was before Final 12 though, right? Maybe they had to do a Final 12 song.

I agree wholeheartedly with Simon that Carrie picked the wrong song. She got some criticism for song choice the first time she sang Independence Day, why do it again? Plus, if you're not a country fan, that song is pretty forgettable -- she should have done something that would hook a broader audience.

And I do think they both tried to have their big moments last week (Bo's hit, Carrie's missed). Maybe they thought with 2 original songs to learn this week they'd better stick a little closer to the comfort zone with their own choice.

I think Carrie wanted to go with an uptempo song to counter the two ballads. She didn't have a whole lot of them to choose from, though.

Carrie should have done "Love Out of Nothing at All" by Air Supply again--I think that was her best performance of the season.

"The Simon of the Wabash Valley"
