last nights show was pretty good but they wrote a terrible song for Bo. Carrie definatly did better than Bo. Her last song was really good and I hope she wins tonight.

) since the begining.

I'm so glad.

Aww, neat. She looked so happy.

It was a good show tonight. I loved watching all the finalists return. I'm really impressed by how this show makes fun of itself (the whole "Simon's Dark Secret" bit).

Still don't know if I'll watch next season, though.

Carrie Underwood rocks!

She sings that new single really well. I never buy their CDs though. Speaking of American Idol, Kelly Clarkson is really doing her own thing and soaring outside of the American Idol contract. I heard one of her latest songs and I thought it rocked my socks!

Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken have both done quite well as a result of American Idol. While Kelly has received more airplay of any Idol, Clay has outsold all other Idols.

i think its better not to win you get more flexibilty in you contract and the stuff you can sing

For the most part, you would be correct. However, although Clay Aiken finished second, he did not choose everything on his album. He did admit that Clive Davis was rather generous in allowing him (Clay) to choose a large selection of songs . . . I think it was key that Clay was allowed to title his album, "Measure of a Man." Its implications meant more to Clay than people may realize at first glance.

It all depends on the company with whom you sign. If, on the other hand, you choose to produce an album independently, then you get the ultimate freedom to sing whatever you want. At the same time, you also get everything that goes along with it... expenses.

while im glad carrie won over bo, im a lil doubtful we'll hear much of her. reuben studdard and fantasia havent had much success [although kelly clarkson is still doing remarkably well]. even though the idols get a record deal..a lot of times it doesnt help them much..

YESS!!!! CARRIE WON!!!

and the finale was an excellent show!! not at all boring like i expected a two hour results show to be!!

It will be interesting to see how Carrie does....I am hoping she WILL make off better than ruben or fantasia. My guess though is that the idol producers will want to make her big because she's new and different than previous idols; they've never had a country singer before. Although personally i hope she doens't make an exclusively country cd!
No matter what i definitely can't wait for her single to come out!! SHe sings that song beautifully!!

What's likely going to happen with Carrie is that she'll produce a pop/country album . . . . depending upon the success of her debut album, she may slide back into the country genre (and sing exclusively country), or she may continue with the pop/country style. I personally can't see her staying with pop music for very long . . . it's just not her style, and she prefers country.

I think Carrie will be so-so during her American Idol contract and blossem Kelly Clarkson style after she gets out of it.

hmmm....I want a private jet to....anyway I loved the song that carrie sung with rascall flatts and the "I believe I can fly" one

Jennifer Doyle · Post by **Jennifer Doyle** » Fri May 27, 2005 5:23 pm

I didn't get to see the song she sang with Rascell Flatts. Did the group really come out and sing with her in person?

Indeed! Here's a short recap:

Carrie performed "God Bless the Broken Road" with Rascal Flatts, and it was amazing. Next, Anthony and Anwar performed "I Believe I Can Fly" with Kenny G. Beautiful. Constantine, Jessica, and Nadia performed "Walk This Way" with Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Constantine screeched a lot, Jessica showed some rock chops I didn’t expect, and Nadia shone like the star she is. That was fun!

Next, Scott and Nikko performed "On Broadway" with George Benson. Scott grew his hair out and killed the silly facial hair. Nicely done. Billy Preston and Vonzell threatened to steal the show with "With You I’m Born Again." Babyface joined Mikalah and Lindsey with "Everytime I Close My Eyes." Nice treatment!

And finally, Bo Bice with Lynard Skynard. They were spectacular with "Sweet Home Alabama!"
