The contestants in this year of Lord 2005 for the final four competitors were challenged to sing two very different song genres on 5/10/05 in this American Idol competition. One challenge was to sing the songs of Philadelphia as composed by the Gamble and Huff songwriting team. The second challenge was to belt out a country and western tune.
My first impression during the competition this past week was how nicely attired all of the contestants were. Which makes me think at this stage in the contest some serious money is being spent on the singers' wardrobes.
Carrie Underwood sported nice jeans and an appropriately country top during her country and western song. For her "Philadelphia sound" performance, she wore a properly fitting pair of striped pants with a lovely top. I never realized how chesty Carrie is. A point that could never hurt.
It occurs to me that Carrie Underwood looks a little like Jonbenet Ramsey had that murdered innocent lived to achieve Carrie's age.
Bo Bice looked great in a three piece black suit but I am puzzled about those sandals. Definitely out of place with his more formal attire. In fact, after his performance in the Gamble and Huff challenge, Simon remarked "terrible image, fantastic performance". Whatever that meant.
A couple of notes regarding Bice-his mother has to be the youngest looking mother of a fellow Bo's age I've ever seen. And the woman is positively gorgeous.
Also I was quite surprised when Bo sang "Money, Money", otherwise known as The Apprentice theme song. I would have thought the contest gurus might have disallowed this due to the NBC competition.
Vonzell Solomon sang a song almost incongruent with her voice and entertainment persona. At least as I see it.
Vonzell, as always, wore a beautiful and colorful dress for her country/western performance. She sang the Rimes tune "How Do I Live Without You". Which would be the last song in the universe I'd think of Vonzell singing.
