American Idol (2007) Thread 2

If Kellie sings a WhitneyHouston song, they will give her the same old line that they give everyone else that sings Whitney, Mariah, ect...you can't take a song by someone that is as well known and attempt to sing it better unless she gives it her own style.. and frankly, that scares me very much.

 

[Savedsis]

Why do ppl think that Chris fans were voting for Elliot last week?.. just because Chris was in the bottom 3 and Elliott was in the top 3?

Because that is what Airpo said and he usually has his facts right...

I hope she does sing it and does very badly. I'm just not a Kellie fan.

I Will Always Love You was originally a Dolly Parton song. Whitney Houston did a cover of it. I'm sure if Kellie sings it, she'll do the country version.

I am aware Dolly sang it first. Fact is, people know it moreso from Whitney. ANother fact is, no one can sing it like Whitney and if you try the famous words of Simon Cowell will ring in your ears tonight....

"That was very karaoke-ish"

Do you remember last year when Carrie did the Faith Hill version of Piece Of My Heart? Simon had no idea that there was another version because it was country. I bet the same will happen tonight.

Spoiler Update! I just saw this from the Scary Place (official AI forum)

Chris - Faithfully (Journey)

Taylor - Baby I Love your Way (Peter Frampton)

Katharine - You're Still the One (Shania Twain)

Paris - Fallin' (Alicia Keyes)

Elliott - Alison (Elvis Costello)

Kellie - I Will Always Love You (Whitney Houston)

 

[Lubiana]

I don't like Taylor singing that silly song! I hope it's only a rumor

Official? Hmmm. Anyway, what happened to Andrea being the featured artist this week? Are these songs he's sung or is just a particular genre he's performed?

PS if this list is accurate, I predict that Chris, Paris and maybe Elliot will do the best....or maybe I only hope this.

I read on several boards that Chris fans thought he was a shoe-in, but didn't want Elliott to go before Ace. That is just what I read. This came from the Chris fans that were doing it.

We will find out eventually.

WOO HOO!! Just a few more hours!!

Yes, they ALL got down on her for singing Janis Joplin and not staying "true to yourself". I was really irritated. In fact, the next night, Ryan Seacrest mentioned the fact that she did Faith Hill's version. Heck, Faith Hill didn't even know that Janis Joplin sang it to begin with!

 

[~Lady Trekki~]

From the titles, the only song I know there is Kellie's I would love love LOVE it if someone did "At Last" (Etta James)

I love that song too!

Andrea is the coach this week. He sings alot of romantic songs...that's the only connection I can think of for having him as this weeks coach. I think he'll do an awesome job!

Yeah, that doesn't seem like the best choice for him.

 

[Locket]

I love that song too!

Really?!

 

[~Lady Trekki~]

Really?!

Yup! Course...nobody can sing it like Etta!

 

[Locket]

Cool! I've never met anyone else who's even heard of it, other than my parents.
