Right again.
Since when is someone punished for being too professional?!!!
I'm for Bo because he represents America, warts and all.
The music business is relentless. He found a way to
break through. More power to him.
I'm starting to root for Bo, too. Nothing against Carrie, but Bo is much more comfortable on stage, which allows the audience to feel comfortable.
With Carrie, I'm always a little nervous, and that makes it difficult to enjoy her performances, even when she's great.
And I agree with you--the fact that Bo performed that particular song before doesn't lessen my opinion of him (or his performance) at all.
AI is about and for AMATEURS!!! What is an amateur? It's a person that lacks professional skill or expertise. In sports it is a person that hasn't been paid for their performance.
