You think his song choices were boring? NO WAY! He took interesting songs and made them more interesting. He took a song like My Funny Valentine, a song we have all heard a zillion arrangements of and made it new again. For that alone he should have won! Like Bo, Constantine was a seasoned performer. He never hit a bad note and he had great stage presence. He had a better pop voice than Bo.
I agree 100%. I thought Constantine had a far more versatile style whereas Bo is stuck in Rock and Roll heaven forever, I fear. That's the only thing wrong with the two in the finals they're both stuck in one style. Nothing wrong with that if they were picking either the American Rock and Roll Idol or the American Country
I missed that! Darn. I actually missed most of this season (this is the first season I've watched more than one or two shows). The first show I saw this season was the one where Mikayla left, so anything before that is a mystery to me.
When I said that Constantine chose boring songs, I really meant the very last one before he got voted off. I can't remember what it was now (never having heard it before) but it had a limited range and the refrain just repeated over and over, without even an opportunity for a "big finish" (which you'd darned better have if you're going to sing an otherwise pedestrian song!). By contrast, I thought his Bohemian Rhapsody was just short of brilliant. (I know some folks here got a little bent about the tongue thing, but that seemed to me like just an excess of high spirits, not incipient Charles Manson-ism.)
So I misspoke. Connie had one boring song. But that's all it takes.
