This is by U2 right? I am not going crazy.

 

[java]

OH NO he didn't.
On the day I find out the concert tour has been postponed he is murdering U2-

 

[ShuisFan584]

Did they realize that their songs always suck and now they're giving them songs that already exist? I thought it sounded like U2 when he started singing.

 

[mandy200587]

For whom? I'm still undecided on if I will vote. Though my DD is begging me to vote for Crystal.

Lee

 

[Cat0727]

He butchered that song, geez.

 

[WDWRocksMySocks]

This is by U2 right? I am not going crazy.

I was so confused! I was expecting something new and then realized...uh, that's not new. Darn, I was hoping for another craptastic song like last year. Shucks.

Lee

I liked it. I thought it fit his voice and he looked like he was enjoying it.

 

[LiLIrishChick63]

No more original coronation songs after last year's debacle?

they must have realized that those songs are always horrible, finally.....

 

[Lynn5700]

IDK... tonight is weird.

 

[Nancy]

I actually liked this better than the original (I am not a U2 fan at all)


I thought he looked so cute when he would give that little smile...like "OMG, I can't believe I am here singing in front of all these people and they like me"

 

[Mean Queen]

I was so confused! I was expecting something new and then realized...uh, that's not new. Darn, I was hoping for another craptastic song like last year. Shucks.

And Kara complains after her horrid song she wrote last year?

That sounded like a kiss off from Simon.

 

[chisnpeke]

Crystal's song is called "Up to the Mountain"??? I had no idea these songs were songs that already exist...that song sounds a little too back country to me.

 

[ShuisFan584]

I agree. I'm not a fan of U2 and always hated that song. He made it sound better.

 

[charming23]

I think it shows just how craptastic this season is that there is no original song. Although after the hurricanes, mountains and whatever else of last years I would have taken anything.

 

[mandy200587]

What I'm hearing is they are going to do like the season DC won and we won't hear the actual song till they announce the winner.

 

[Lintasare]

*le sigh* First Casey goes home so I was going to vote for Lee because I can't stand Crystal and her channeling Janis Joplin all the time and the dreads...dreads are nasty. But now I find out he is butchering one of my favorite U2 songs on the day I found out they are postponing all tour dates and that is it. I am not watching tonight and I am not voting.

I don't care anymore who wins, I will wait for Casey to put out an album and I will his and only his.

 

[WDWRocksMySocks]

IDK... tonight is weird.

Hey Lynn!! I totally agree!! I'm just killing time until the DwtS finale.

 

[LiLIrishChick63]

so who the heck picked out the third song, then??

 

[ShuisFan584]

I think it shows just how craptastic this season is that there is no original song. Although after the hurricanes, mountains and whatever else of last years I would have taken anything.

You mean to say you really don't like magical rainbows inside your heaven?

on itunes, the preview sounds gospely to me.

Again, Crystal can work well with this. I still think there's major favoritism here, because while Lee did well with what he was given with, Crystal's song could be epic, and that wasn't her choice anyways.
