Don't get me wrong, I really like Bo too. I just think that Carrie is more appealing overall to the general public.
I see Bo doing some kind of Bluesish album.
He was fantastic with Lynard Skynard. You could tell he was really moved by the experience.
I will buy his album when it's out and also Carrie's.
I will definetly buy Bo, Carrie not sure yet...I have so much music from Trisha Yearwood, Reba, Sara Evans Faith Hill, she will need to add a little something etra if I am to buy her music , although may do it just to help her out
:)
Lynyrd Skynyrd, sorry for the error in spelling.
Certainly a matter of taste. I preferred Bo, as did my wife. Then again we are late 30s, so it could be a cultural thang. Nothing offensive at all about Carrie - sweet looking and singing. Too me she just seems so cookie-cutter. I think Bo will be a bigger star, but again, that is subjective.
I just think that they are both so great. Seem like such decent, kind people from good families. They both deserved to be there. Last night's finale was almost an emotional, feel-good experience because of the quality of the two finalists.
I was very impressed with Bo's graciousness, and his family cheering for Carrie. It was just great.
Definitely a classy pair last night. And I don't mean Paula :)
"Bice should've slept with Paula Abdul."
Or Simon.
Well, I am 36 and love the kind of rock that Bo does. Grew up listening to the Eagles, Boston, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Aerosmith. Love it!
I agree that Bo will be big. Carrie will do well in the Country genre.
It was well said (Simon prolly), that these two from the onset knew who they were musically. Carrie occasionally tried to do rock, but never lost that country aura or went trashy. Bo made each song his own in that charming hippie-redneck way he has. Best final yet and best two finalists. The first hour last night though was DREADFUL!!!
Good point!
I don't think it was outstanding. He had no range in his voice. There are far too many real deals I can listen to. Why listen to him?
Thanks for clarifing. I would rather listen to Bob Seeger, Allman Brothers and Blood Sweat and Tears. Bo is a COPYCAT, time has passed him by. He will sell enough records to satisfy his American Idol fans. I don't expect much more. I'm always ready to admit that I am wrong if he should become a star. I won't hold my breath waiting.
consider that she was never in the bottome three, while Bo was once, that and Simeon predicting twice that she would win.
The point is they guy can sing! He will develop his own Music....I would rather hear CoptCat great Musicians than horrible freaky Music of RAP< TECHNO, or POP as in Brittney Spears etc...that isn't even Music..
The New Generation like BO, JOSS STONE, will be able to bring back some of the greats by there voice....
I agree with you on the Rap, Techno, and Pop not being music. But still have to disagree with you on Bo developing his own music. So far, all I see is imitation. If he developes into a good singer, I will be the first to admit I was wrong.
