Subscriber PattiU2 Posted May 26, 2010 Subscriber Share Posted May 26, 2010 Did anyone catch Lee singing "Beautiful Day" on Amercian Idol tonight? If so, what did you think? Did he murder it? I cringed. Like one of the judges said, he had good parts and bad parts. I really like Lee, but not sure he can take on such a big U2 song. He also sang "Everybody Hurts" and I think he did great on that one (REM is my other musical obsession). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surrenders Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 He also did Hallelujah, big NOOOOOOOOOO! He's from a town right by me and he performed at a big horse race track last week here for his 'homecoming' and my niece met him. My brother text me a picture of him from the race track and I didn't know who he was. I hate AI!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Janette B Posted May 26, 2010 Subscriber Share Posted May 26, 2010 I kinda also hate AI, but something makes me watch it . . . guess it's my guilty pleasure though I'm not sure why. I've liked Lee and I thought he did okay with Hallelujah. I haven't heard last night's show - taped it and will watch it later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber follow Posted May 26, 2010 Subscriber Share Posted May 26, 2010 Not so great. But it IS a hard song to sing. Other than Bono, ( none better) it's best to leave it alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletTheRedSky Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Thing is, I am a singer myself. For me it ain't that hard, I've done karaoke to it and I can understand how some would find it hard depending on there range, but maybe it's because my range has grown after years of stretching my voice, and also being in productions that have had me go beyond my range. Not trying to brag or anything, I'm just saying people should sing according to their range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
u2jackie Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I was watching it too, good to know im not the only one who "cringed" lol. And Lee's my favorite! i want him to win, but then again, I don't want to hear his version on the radio. too big of a song for him, I like the way Bono sings it wayyy better! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
