Inspire Me

Tonight was inspiration night. The contestents were to sing a song that inspired them. Some of the selections made no sense to me. But it's their inspiration not mine. So How did they do?

In last place was

7. Tim Urban. He was inspired by Goo Goo Dolls "Better Days". Well let's just be kind and say Tim has seen better days, (last week). But on the bright side he has earned his spot back on VFTW - the weird website telling everyone to vote for the worst.

6. AAron Kelly singing "I Believe I Can Fly". It was cheesy in the 70's and Aaron made it more so tonight. Aaron better start believing in something else besides flying. He better hope and believe that there are enough 16 year old girls out there that will still vote for him.

5. Casey James decided that he was inspired by "Don't Stop". Halfway thru, I was yelling Please Stop. So he's definitely not thinking about tomorrow. That's good because he may not have a tomorrow.

4. Siobhan Magnus was very lucky that 3 boys were worse than she was. She sang "When You Believe", she will need more than beliefs. I've mentioned this every year. NEVER sing a Meriah Carey song on American Idol. Trust me, you can't do it.

3. Mike Lynch did an interesting rendition of "Hero". One of the lines from the song is Heaven Don't Hear Me. I believe Heaven will hear him tonight.

2. Lee Dewyze finally sang an inspirational song. Simon and Garfunkle's "The Boxer" sounded like it was written for him. He updated it without ruining it. To paraphrase the song, Lee you are a fighter and you will remain.

1. OMG, I totally started crying when Crystal broke up singing "People Get Ready". Inspiration means it moves you. The whole country was inspired tonight by Crystal Bowersox. Listen to the words, People Get Ready, Crystal will be with us for a long time.

Bottom line another boy goes home tonight.

Until Next Week - Wise OUT
