Caglewis must have never heard janis do that song live. Bowersox nailed it.

As most people have not, she died before it was released on album, and she only sung it a few times live.

As far as I'm concerned "Me and Bobby McGee" is a Kris Kristofferson song; and I did indeed hear him sing it live - with his understandable emphasis on the lyrics because he wrote them.
I never liked Janis Joplin and still don't understand the appeal of her mumbly singing style.

Kristofferson wrote the song but it was first recored by Roger Williams. I've heard Ralph Emory interview Kris about the song and he said no one could sing it like Janis.

Updated odds....

Crystal Bowersox 11/10
Lee Dewyze 3/1
Siobhan Magnus 9/2
Casey James 13/2
Michael Lynche 8/1
Aaron Kelly 20/1
Andrew Garcia 20/1

Even though this may not have been one of Crystal's best performances, it was still one of the best of the night. She is still the favorite to go the distance. By the Way, her home town now has a sign as you enter the town, Home Of Crystal Bowersox.

[The Instructor]

I thought she pulled it off well even though she was not feeling well.

Way to go, Crystal!

Another excellent performance tonight. She had the audience going nuts. WTG Crystal!

Yes, she did!

I didn't know that song.

She can rock!

[The Instructor]

Crystal's performance was awesome Tuesday night.

If you don't watch American Idol, check her out on youtube.

She is very talented and a Buckeye too!

Shania Twain is the mentor on American Idol tonight.

Bowersox Rocks!!!

Is this week, country music week?

[The Instructor]

Is this week, country music week?

Yes....


On Tuesday, the Top 6 finalists will take on songs by this week’s mentor, Shania Twain! On Wednesday, one person will go home, but the evening will be filled with exciting performances from some of today’s biggest stars.

Lady Antebellum, who brought home a few Academy of Country Music Awards last week, will perform their smash hit single, “Need You Now.” The single is the title track off their second studio album.

Also, the Rascal Flatts will stop by the show to perform “Unstoppable.” They are the decade’s top-selling and most awarded group in country music, and this will be their third appearance on American Idol.

The one and only Shakira will perform “Gypsy,” a single off her album She Wolf, but she won’t be performing it alone. The Rascal Flatts will join her for this performance!

Sons of Sylvia, who will release their debut album Revelation tomorrow, will perform their first single, “Love Left To Lose.” The track was co-written by Ashley and the band’s cousin, hit maker Ryan Tedder. The band is made up of brothers Ashley, Austin, and Adam Clark, who won Fox’s American Idol-inspired show, Next Great American Band. Sons of Sylvia sang with Carrie Underwood on her song “What Can I Say” from her album Play On. Currently on the road with Carrie for her “Play On Tour,” Sons of Sylvia have just signed on for the fall leg of her tour. Be sure to check the AI-Insider’s Weekly Scoop each week for Carrie Underwood’s tour dates and locations.

I really like Rascal Flatts, I think its because they are Buckeye fans. LOL

[The Instructor]

Yes, they are Buckeye fans!

Gary, the lead singer, is from Columbus.

I heard him say in an interview once that he used to go to karaoke places in Columbus and the people told him to go to Nashville.

[RiverRatRay]

Instructor, that backup singer Crystal had Tuesday night was not very good. I thought Crystal did well but the backup singer made a mess of things.
