American Idol Top 9 Idol Chatter and Idle Chatter

My husband bought Megan's song, "Turn your Lights Down Low" for my 12 year old who loves her and I must say it is SO much better than when she sang it live on the show. It was actually awesome and I could definitely see it on the radio. It was good enough to buy.

Not liking this version of Stand by Me.

Love what Danny is wearing tonight!! Looking HOT!

 

[Mean Queen]

I like the original much more. I'm becoming less and less a Danny fan. He's too R&B/Gospel for my taste.

 

[Robinrs]

Who the heck is Mickey Gilley? Gospel singer? Country singer? R & B?

I've never heard of him/her. Sounds awful!

Man, he had his time during the bull riding fad!

 

[Obi-Wan Pinobi]

I agree that Danny could have picked a better song. Overdone and cheesy.

 

[RyMickey]

I don't know that version of the song...that was very weak at the beginning, and while Danny picked it up at the end, it was a very disappointing version of a great song.

 

[ShuisFan584]

I really can't believe that only 2 of them are older than me!

This is a very different version of Stand By Me than I'm used to, but I think he did really good!

My mom said "I love Mickey Gilley!" I had never heard of him before.

 

[Kitty 34]

I didn't like the song but he sang it OK.

mte!

 

[Lynn5700]

I love how he ended the song!

OOh can't wait to see Chris!

 

[Robinrs]

It's horrible! I hate it.

It's very churchy if that makes any sense.

I like the original much more. I'm becoming less and less a Danny fan. He's too R&B/Gospel for my taste.

Wow, that's EXACTLY why I LIKE him!!!

To each his own, I guess!!

According to Wikipedia (take it with a grain of salt), Mickey Gilley is:

Mickey Leroy Gilley (born March 9, 1936) is an American country music singer and musician. Although he started out singing straight-up country and western material in the 1970s, he moved towards a more pop-friendly sound in the 1980s, bringing him further success on not just the country charts, but the pop charts as well. Among his biggest hits are "Room Full of Roses," "Don't the Girls All Get Prettier at Closing Time," and the remake of the Soul hit "Stand by Me". He is also the cousin of Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl McVoy, and Jimmy Swaggart.

I hope I can watch the whole show.. I've been up since before 4AM. My niece had her baby which makes me a great aunt. And I'm not even 40 yet!

Danny's song was ok but it could be forgettable by the end of the show.

 

[WDWRocksMySocks]

I just turned it on and my DVR didn't start recording. What did Danny sing?

 

[Obi-Wan Pinobi]

This is weird ... the old guy in that commercial for UP looks like someone I work with.

Mickey Gilley..country singer. Think back to Urban Cowboy era. He had a bar that was really a big thing back in Texas.

I don't think he sang that song like that though.

I enjoyed Danny's version, not a song I really like and I liked how he sang it.
