Thought this deserved mention. How many "contestants" come out on stage & let loose on a
Patriotic Song -"God Bless the USA! - "I'm Proud To Be An American" - in front of millions of critics who have the
Power of the VOTE (1-866-436-5709) to make or break?

Hope the Troops are Listening!!
If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.
I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.
And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.
From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.
That I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
And I’m proud to be and American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
She did a great job tonight. After two weeks of mediocre performances, she hit a home run.
I though Simon (the Brit) was going to say the “God Bless America” song choice was a bit cheesy.
But even he agreed. It was fantastic.
She did really well.
Especially in contrast to the kid before her that sang a hippie anti-war song.
I was also impressed with Brooke’s version of Every Breath You Take and the last guy’s version of Billie Jean.
I like this girl. I was surprised that Simon liked this number.
You know, I think she’s about the worst singer out of the top 10, but God bless her little heart.
i like kristy
and the judges really liked her performance and song choice tonight
yet, i like brooke white more
she is a person of faith and i get the feeling it comes through - to me - in how she treats the lyrics of many of the songs she selects - she’s always so positive and full of joy
She needs a lot of help!! go vote everybody!
Bless her Heart!
Thanks for posting this. I was so surprised but so happy to hear Kristy sing this song. Definitely a song that could make or break her. She really did the song justice and I hope it inspired many patriotic Americans to vote for her as I did. Way to go Kristy! God Bless the USA and God Bless Kristy! :)
I never voted in an American Idol before and tuned in with 10 minutes to go in the show. But for her bravery to sing a song about God and country in Hollywood and her love of the USA, I had to vote twice - once for her and once for her choice of song.
Smokin hot.
I like Kristy. I think she has a wonderful voice, but she still doesn’t know how to pick the right songs or control it yet. Even with the song she packed last night, she went woefully off course a few times. If you want to win, you simply can’t do that. And this was actually one of her better performances of late.
I had hoped she would start hitting some home runs, but she has failed to ignite. If she did, I think she could do well, but for some reason she just hasn’t been up to the task. Too bad really.
I never watch American Idol but after all the publicity I went to Youtube and watched the performance. I’m glad I did but I need to do something to keep my screen from getting fuzzy.
She’s smokin hot and a pretty good singer!
Although I thought the arrangements, musical and choral, were not the best I have heard, I thought the nation and the viewers were blessed to have the song “Shout to the Lord” given such prominent positions, both Wednesday and Thursday nites.
