I'm not sure about Jena either.

Thought Alex started strong, but it kind of fell apart IMO.

Jena - yuck! Has she never heard country. I don't know how she thought that was country.

CJ. doin American Woman....don't EVER do that again...you are NOT Lenny Kravitz.....or Burton Cummings, for that mates....

I agree.

I'm not sure about Jena either.

I love her voice...BUT I don't think anyone should do Carrie's songs but Carrie after tonight. I enjoyed both tonight but not even close to how the originals were.

 

[kimmar067]

I like Alex....and I love Animal....not sure of this rendition though....

 

[Gumbo4x4]

Jena - yuck! Has she never heard country. I don't know how she thought that was country.

To be fair, you're supposed to pick a song that is known as country. Your version does not have to be country though

Agreed. Co-signed. Amen.

....never heard of this Black Crowes song, but I am diggin' the vibe....okay, so I am a bit partial to Caleb.....so, sue me....

They are not keeping it country. Alex took the country right out of Willie's song, Caleb rocked his song up a few notches, Jena did her thing. Sam sang his pretty much the way the original was.

Jessica better keep Jolene in it's original state..can not beat Dolly Parton.

Then why have a theme if you are just going to sing in your same old way?

I drowned out most of it listening to that Carrie song Mandy posted the link to. What I did hear was SNOOZY and BORING.

Mylie Cyrus does a great version of Jolene - not Dolly good, but darn close.

NOBODY CAN!!!

And the rest are just deluding themselves.

Jessica singing a lil' Grace Slick....FINALLY!

 

[Nancy]

Bye Bye CJ. I think he is singing like he knows his time is up.

 

[mandy200587]

Make CJ stop please!

The theme is for song choice. What you do with it is up to you.

Daughtry doing Walk The Line
David Cook with Billie Jean & Hello

Then again, there's Kristy Lee Cook on Beatles Night

Jessica singing a lil' Grace Slick....FINALLY!

Great choice for her
