Shlock

I think I got sucked into American Idol because I saw Bo Bice perform on it. It's not a show I normally watch, but he was so anathema to Idol that it drew my interest. A hippie singing southern rock songs? Can't wrong with that, just like you can't go wrong with seven-minute long rock songs.
I think he nailed the competition last week, but Carrie caught up last night. It's too close to call.
However, I almost don't want Bo to win if he has to perform such shlock like he had to last night. Those original songs were terrible, and while Bo tried to make them listenable, they aren't his style. It shows an alomost fundemental misunderstanding of who Bo is. Same can be said for Carrie.
Please, Clive Davis. If Bo does manage to win, don't make him do that stuff.
