The Fox station in Boston reports that Carrie will sing "Independence Day" (yet, again-- to my great disappointment) and Bo will sing "Vehicle." They will also sing the new AI single and each will sing a new song of their genre/voice (rock for Bo, I guess, and country for Carrie) that was written for them.
The rumor is that part of the reason why Carrie chose "Independence Day" again (in Hollywood, in the Top 10, on the AI: Showstoppers CD, and now the finale) is because she couldn't do "Alone," since the main back-up singer she worked with earlier in the show on that song is sick. I hope this is the reason, because, IMO, choosing this song could single-handedly give this to Bo on a silver platter, which isn't the way Bo should win.
Did Bo already do Vehicle also? I get confused about those rock songs.
Thanks for your thoughts on Bo. That's sort of the way I feel about it. It just doesn't seem like he has as much long term viability as Carrie might have.
I know Carrie needs lots of work, but she can learn. It seems like she has more potential while Bo is a known entity.
"choosing this song could single-handedly give this to Bo on a silver platter, which isn't the way Bo should win."
Why do you think this would help Bo so much? I agree that "Alone" was a great song for her, but what's wrong with "Independence Day'?
As for their futures and who will be more successful, unfortunatley I think it all comes down to MTV. Which one has a better face & body/ who can make a steamier video? For example, can anyone honestly say they'd enjoy watching a Ruben Studdard video over a Kelly Clarkson video? I realize this is not about image/looks, but ultimately that is an important part of the package, and Carrie has that locked up.
That being said, I'm just happy that one of them will win and not Vonzelle or Constantine. Either way, I go home a winner. :)
Not again? Repeats?
