i, unfortunately, am not an AI fan like most of my friends. that is because we do not get channel 5 in our tv set and we don't have cable (shocking, isn't it?). however, due to peer pressure (simply meaning that i can't relate to my friends talking about it), i did try to get my updates from the web. but since i haven't followed the series from day 1, i did not really have a favorite. when it came to the last three --- bo, carrie and vonzell --- i was confident that the winner would be a talented singer but i was not rooting for anyone. well, among the three, i would have picked vonzell but i guess america does not agree with me.
anyway, between carrie and bo, i think bo has more stage presence and spunk. well, he has to, considering his genre. i think that his voice has a quality to it that fits rock. i also do think that carrie has a great voice. coupled with the package that she's an all-american girl, i did think that she would get the title. and she did.
i was not supposed to delve more into it until my sister nonchalantly told me that carrie sang "angels brought me here" as one of her three songs in the finals. being the big guy sebastian fan that i am, i hurriedly went to the american idol webpage to look for the video clip. imagine my disappointment when it was not there!!! aaargh!!! i looked for other sites that have it. good thing i found one so my stess level immediately went down.
i must say that her rendition is really good although she belted out the song even in lines where i think should have been mellow. all in all, i think it was great. bottomline is, now i am happy that she's the winner... and i really think she chooses her songs well! hehehe! :)
