Go Boggie!!!!
I am addicted to American Idol because of people like Bo Wyse. I love Bo because he makes me feel sexy. He makes me want to sit down, cross my legs, keep my back straight and smile about something terribly naughty in my head. And no, it has nothing to do with him.
That's the kind of connection he spins on TV. He makes me lose myself in the magic that is me.
And no, I don't agree with Simon. Bo doesn't need to bring in his rock influence to popular songs. We need the popular songs to help 'tolerate' the bad singers. We need singers like Bo who choose songs that mean something to them and then turn it around to mean something for each of us.
I believe that three shows ago, Bo set his standard with that slow number about the candle. After that, he's just been hanging around while everybody else plays catch up.
This contest is not just about your voice box. You need a pretty decent voice box to get up there in the last ten. After that though, it's more about who you are - your ups and downs. Clearly the kids - Anwar, Anthony, Vonzel and Scotty are just that - kids. They need time to shape their hearts, their heads. We need to let them leave the competition to grow.
Too much of time in America is spent trying to find the youngest wonder because as we see twenty years hence, they aren't wonders anymore. They are like bonzais, stunted in their splendor!
We need singers like Bo and Nadia who show us what more we can find once we get past thier voice boxes. Here are individuals who despite everything that life throws at them are still there sculpting their craft to something that is inspired by God himself.
Go Boggie!!!

i was about to reiterate what we discussed on phone but i remembered something that sonu nigam said to a contestant in the indian idol... it was about the difference between a 'gayak' and a 'gavaiya'... and according to him, the former sings for the others and the latter sings for himself...
having said that, i still think you kinda took simon's comment in the wrong way... this competition is all about votes, too... which explains why simon brought up the 'what the hell was that?' angle... you think bo's awesome (and i too, for that matter) but then he still has to prove himself and be the idol first...
and then maybe he can sing the 'ding dong vanilla dance remix' and we might still lap it up...
