I don't know this kid's name, but last night on American Idol I heard the most amazing version of "Imagine" I've ever heard. This little kid is only 17 years old and he almost made me cry last night.

The first few years American Idol was on I wouldn't watch it thinking it just a fad. The first year I watched was season 3 and I now am hooked. Everyone I work with watches it and that is what we talk about first thing the next morning.tribdog said:I work with a bunch of guys who don't watch american idol and I think they think I'm a wuss for bringing it up, but I couldn't stop thinking about that performance. It really blew me away.
Simon Cowell's found a few other people that had that effect on me. check out a couple of people from Britain's Got Talent. Paul Potts and Connie Talbot. They were awesome too.

Still, they're competing for a record contract, aren't they? So, they need to compete at a professional level, and not like a bunch of kids who couldn't even win a high school variety show competition.edward said:For the most part all of the participants are amateurs.
I think there was some rumors recently that they weren't actually all amateurs. But, I don't remember where I heard them. Maybe contestants were kicked out or something...this isn't high on my list of things to pay close attention to, just recall hearing some glimpse of something probably while flipping channels.They may have been paid to sing at some point, such as in a small band etc. Yet the rules of the show do not allow anyone who has ever signed and performed under a contract to enter the competition.
On that account, I agree. It's unfortunate, but I guess no worse than The Gong Show or Star Search when I was a kid/teen.I like it because it is one of the few programs left on prime time television that is truly suitable for the entire family.
Will it get better faster if I have a beer each time I listen to it? I also agree with Turbo that he made it overly melodramatic...I don't even think the guy "gets" the point of the song. He's so focused on a technical performance and is missing feeling what the song is really about...he makes it sound sad, and it's supposed to be hopeful.tribdog said:You people are nuts. That is an amazing performance. Keep listening to it, it gets better after about the thirtieth or fortieth time.
You people have no souls
