Yeah, Carrie sings it.

"I haven't seen a face this grumpy since Simon was on the show".

Don't consider this Country. Recorded by Barry Manilow in 1976.

Sam didn't look comfortable.

Still The One?? That was written by Shania Twain and her then husband Mutt Lang in the 90's.

He really didn't change it from Carrie's version..she rather rocks it out for Carrie.

....I'm just watching now, so I have some major catching up to do....

 

[mandy200587]

Umm I didn't like that, I felt like there some sharp notes

 

[Nancy]

Very very different from Alex. He has a really awesome voice.

I was only wondering because he performed it like a rock song.

That song brings back some very bittersweet memories of my first love and dancing with him to that song on New Years and knowing in my heart that we were nearing the ending point in our relationship.

I still love the song though.

 

[kimmar067]

Sam is on now....time to FF......decent enough voice....I just don't get him....

 

[asta]

I thought Alex sounded pretty. That is a very good song.

Can we get Kree up on stage to show them how to sing country with soul? She is there

 

[Nancy]

He rocked it a bit more than she does.

I don't know the song but it would still be terrible if Carrie sang it like Caleb did.

To me it felt really snoozy. Compared to the Willie Nelson and, my fav, The Pet Shop Boys' versions.

Let's put her on instead of CJ
