Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the differences between each singer's styles. Even though they stem from the same show, how do they maintain their own sound? Is there a common way that each American Idol protégé approaches a song?

    Great CD

    If you loved American Idol, you'll love this cd. Carrie Underwood does great singing Independence Day, and Bo Bice (my IDOL) does a FANTASTIC version of I Don't Want to Be. Almost all of the songs are good, but I can't STAND to listen to that Federov's syrup soaked sugar coated gooey song, Everytime You Go Away, or whatever the heck it's called. A great cd for all AI fans.
