American Idol Honors Beatles Music
The Beatles music brought out both the best and the worst in the American Idol top twelve. Chikezie, Carly Smithson, David Cook, and Brook White delivered four of the best performances in the competition so far. Ramiele Malubay, David Hernandez, Kristy Lee Cook, and David Archuleta delivered four of the worst performances in the competition so far. The other four fell somewhere in between.
I don't know about you but it hurts my ears to have a song I know and love butchered. When Kristy Lee Cook sang “Eight Days A Week.” I could barely sit through it. Simon may have told her to go country and I agree, but the song choice was terrible.
As Paula so aptly said the Beatles music is all about melody. Some of you hopefully remember the days music actually had melody. I personally would not have found the original arrangements boring. You really can't take a great song and make it better..oops...sad song and make it better. Whatever.
The Beatles music and the Beatles lyric are here to stay.
