Yes, I did. I've been laying low on it though.GenerationX said:Excellent analysis, nicholas.
I believe SpongeScott predicted a Carrie victory after her tryout. I think he may be right.
nicholas said:I also think it's interesting to note that Carrie, the "country" girl's, best performances haven't been from the country genre. She seems to excel at 80's rock. Just find that interesting.

WDWScottieBoy said:Couldn't agree more. I'm going to be at her concert (well the AI tour this year if I'm not in the process of moving to FL) and I WILL have her CD the day it comes out!
SpongeScott said:Serious question: why can't Bo sing without carrying his mic stand? I know that everyone can have a gimmick in their stage presence, but this one is getting a little old. What's the deal? He's an okay singer, but that annoys the crap out of me.
BRER STITCH said:Bo. I just don't get it. He works well within his limitations, but his limitations are so many that every song sounds the same. One way to not stray off key is to avoid accompaniment of any kind - and that's exactly what he did! Smart? Yes. Entertaining? No. I thought it was the longest 2 minutes of the show. Well...at least Clive Davis liked it. That's really what counts.

I think what was meant by the original post was that without the accompanyment, it's harder for the general public to tell if/when he goes off key. I agree that it's much harder to stay on key without the music, but I think the original poster meant that the audience can't tell as well if there's no music.Aurora_25 said:Ok, I don't mean to sound nasty or anything- but are you saying that it is easier to sing without accompaniment? If so, man, I don't know what my music teacher was telling me all those years! I mean, I took voice lessons for years and the HARDEST things to sing where when I had no accompaniment at all because you can easily start off flat and keep being flat- with accompaniment, it's easier to "know" where you are supposed to be range wise and everything. Sorry, it just bothers me when people think it is so "easy" to sing without anything backing you up because it is totally not true.
Again, don't mean to be nasty, but I had to say something....![]()
Ah, ok- got itnicholas said:I think what was meant by the original post was that without the accompanyment, it's harder for the general public to tell if/when he goes off key.

At least that's what I got out of it.
Hahah! I do the twitch too!! :lol:Aurora_25 said:Ah, ok- got itThanks for clarifying that for me
I guess I am just one of those crazy people that "knows" when someone goes off key (my DH laughs because I always have a "spaz" attack when it happens) I tend to twitch or something when I hear someone go off key- really hurts my ears.![]()
Glad I am not alone in thatnicholas said:Hahah! I do the twitch too!! :lol:

Be as nasty as ya wanna be! :lol:
NICHOLAS got it right. Thanx Pal!
I am a musician and often do accapella music. I love it! Whether performed solo or in a choral group, it can be extremely challenging. But in general, the only way to to truly tell if we strayed off key is to finish the song and then play the ACTUAL final chord to see how we did.
EXAMPLE: I recently made a recording of Wedding songs on which I did an accapella version of "One Hand, One Heart" (from West Side Story) with a very talented local singer. The recording sounded great, but I could NEVER play the piano along with it now. It would be too embarrassing. But without accompaniment, the listener cannot detect the slide.
P.S. I don't do "the Twitch"....I grind my teeth and squeeze the arm of the person next to me!! HAHA! :lol:
