songs for the night...pardon me while I prepare to scream at whoever the heck butchers Compass in duets/trios

Caleb Johnson - Family Tree by Kings of Leon
Jess Meuse - Gunpowder and Lead by Miranda Lambert
“Let Her Go” by Passenger
CJ Harris - Gravity by John Mayer
Dexter Roberts - Muckalee Creek Water by Luke Bryan
“Gimme Shelter” by the Rolling Stones
Alex Preston - A Team by Ed Sheeran
Sam Woolf - Sail Away by David Grey
“Compass” by Lady Antebellum
Jena Irene - Creep by Radiohead

Family Tree..never heard it before. Let Her Go..never heard it. Gravity, I've probably heard it but I hate John Mayer so yuck. Muckalee...one of my least favorite songs..usually skip right over it when playing the CD.

A Team...most likely have never heard. Sail Away...the only song I can think of is by Styx...come sail away with me...but I know this is not that song. Creep? another never heard it...not a fan of Radiohead at all.

Should be interesting.

I'm excited to see how Jessica's version translates after hearing the studio version of it.

I've only heard of two of those songs, "Let Her Go"and "Creep".

....I wanna hear how Jena sings Creep.....LOVE that song.....

Considering what people refer to him as, someone probably should've picked a Meatloaf song for Caleb.

 

[kimmar067]

....I feel like I am at Caleb's concert....

 

[Nancy]

Caleb once again..nice.

 

[Gumbo4x4]

I've never heard that song - was good, though.

Caleb took a song from a great current band and made it sound like another one of his tired rock numbers. I did not like this at all.

So far, so good for both choices. Glad the are not trying to make each other sound bad -- great song choices.

I've never heard a single song by that group so for me it was good. Didn't even know they were current LOL. I am really out of the loop on what is current and what is not.

I think Jessica was OK. I am not a big fan of country music but I think she sounded pretty good. I would rather that she had the country vote than Dexter or CJ.

Jessica..not Miranda but not bad.
