View Full Version : American Idol sandy73 03-23-2005, 11:52 AM Who watches and who do you think will win ? My prediction is Carrie Underwood FallenAngel 03-23-2005, 12:39 PM I watch it and I agree with your prediction. She was awesome last night smalltown_honey 03-23-2005, 12:39 PM I watch and I like Carrie Underwood too and Bo Bice. Liberal 03-23-2005, 01:18 PM I watch it. I do like Bo, and I've been hoping that Carrie would find that starry place. Last night, she did. As soon as she appeared on the stage, I knew this was going to be great. Wow. Liberal 03-23-2005, 01:19 PM By the way, what's that hairstyle called? (I tried to describe it to my sister. I said it looked like a lion's mane.) Liberal 03-23-2005, 01:45 PM My wife just told me that they're redoing the voting tonight. Something about getting the phone numbers jumbled up at the end of last night's show. sandy73 03-23-2005, 02:22 PM My wife just told me that they're redoing the voting tonight. Something about getting the phone numbers jumbled up at the end of last night's show. I saw that last night ! I didn't figure up ! I agree with you Liberal, as soon as I saw her I knew she would kick butt ! I also like Bo... Simon nailed Bo right on when he said he looked like he has been doing this for years.. I like both him and Constantine ! beatlebabe 03-23-2005, 02:33 PM I haven't really watched it this year. I watched last year :p I liked John Stevens :| Seriously. My son's been watching it though, and his fave is Carrie. He likes the girls though (I'm in trouble :eek: ) so he doesn't have an opinion on Bo. He calls me every time it's on & wants me to vote for Carrie. I think he has a new crush :hmm: sandy73 03-23-2005, 03:25 PM She is pretty. They have a lot of talent on this round.. This is the 1st one I have watched since when Kelly won ! Liberal 03-23-2005, 04:26 PM I think it's by far the most concentration of talent than any year before. In fact, you could pick any of these (with one exception), and they could have won any of the prior three. Anybody know what that hairdo is called? sandy73 03-23-2005, 04:53 PM No, but I liked it ! It was semi 80 ish ! I loved the song Carrie sang last night too ! FallenAngel 03-25-2005, 08:27 AM Carrie and Bo are my favorites. All of them are pretty good except I don't really like Constantine or Mikaleh or however you spell her name. She was voted off last night. Liberal 03-26-2005, 05:15 AM I just called her "Babs". StoneH 04-18-2005, 04:16 PM I have to start watching Vonzel is from my town and there is billboards up all over the place even at the damm post office about her.. I am not an American Idol fan myself but I'd like to see what her deal is before i misss it Spazola 04-18-2005, 04:17 PM I think Carrie and Anwar will end up as our final two. Who will win between them, no clue. igofast 04-18-2005, 04:24 PM I suggest you all find yourself some better taste in entertainment :p Gibson 04-18-2005, 04:30 PM I suggest you all find yourself some better taste in entertainment :p :stupid: Zoot 04-18-2005, 04:46 PM My kids love that show. This is the first year that we've watched it as a family and I became much more interested in the outcome than I thought I would. Tally 04-19-2005, 11:12 AM I like to watch it each week. I'm surprised how I've grown to like some of the contestants that I didn't originally like in the first few episodes, like Vonzel and Scott. I wasn't a big fan of Constantine but I was so impressed when he did Queen (and did an amazing job). Carrie has a wonderful pure voice. I was a little sad to see Nadia go home last week. And what is Anthony still doing in the "safe" category? I thought he would be voted off weeks ago. Anwar and Bo both seem very comfortable and experienced doing this, and they are both good. I'm not sure who I want to win, but I think that Constantine might actually win because his fans go totally insane over him and will probably vote 'till their fingers bleed.

I dont want Constantine to win, though. I mean, the reason he's still here is because...well, teenaged girls think hes hot :D me included. Zoot 04-19-2005, 11:56 AM I agree. I dont want Constantine to win, though. I mean, the reason he's still here is because...well, teenaged girls think hes hot :D me included. My 15 year old daughter thinks he's hot too. I don't at all! I think he looks like a chubby elf with long hair. Spazola 04-19-2005, 12:04 PM My 15 year old daughter thinks he's hot too. I don't at all! I think he looks like a chubby elf with long hair. What are you talking about? There isint an ounce of fat on him. Zoot 04-19-2005, 12:07 PM What are you talking about? There isint an ounce of fat on him. He's got a 'baby-fat' double chin! :p Spazola 04-19-2005, 12:09 PM He's got a 'baby-fat' double chin! :p Yeah...but that smile makes up for it.... But the guy on my soccer team is still hotter! Zoot 04-19-2005, 12:31 PM But the guy on my soccer team is still hotter! And easier to flirt with! Spazola 04-19-2005, 12:36 PM And easier to flirt with! Exactly! Jay GW 04-22-2005, 01:06 AM I suggest you all find yourself some better taste in entertainment True words from the member of a band that wouldn't make American Idol if their lives depended on it. (translation: Igofast is in a punk band) sandy73 04-24-2005, 01:37 AM I think Bo is hot !!! I hope Carrie or BO wins it ! Hell, I wish they could both win the title !!:nice: Zoot 04-24-2005, 01:38 AM I think Bo is hot !!! I hope Carrie or BO wins it ! Hell, I wish they could both win the title !!:nice: I think those two should date....and make some sort of 'super singer baby'! Brian 04-24-2005, 02:06 AM I think those two should date....and make some sort of 'super singer baby'! And hopefully it wouldn't turn out like Micheal Jackson.. :eek3: Scott 04-25-2005, 04:38 AM Personally...I DON"T think Carrie is THAT good. but that is just me MangoGirl 04-27-2005, 12:55 PM after watching last night i am at a loss for words on Scott...I sure do hope that he leaves. good riddance....BTW...did anyone buy the charity single that they all did....I downloaded it from ITunes (easy buck) and it goes to the red cross - i like doing that stuff...did it for the Grammy song too. ANyways...I like the song. It features the contestants nicely. MamaG 04-27-2005, 09:27 PM OMG....Constantine is going home!!!!! I wish it had been Scott :mad: FallenAngel 04-27-2005, 10:15 PM Not me...I'm glad he's leaving. I never liked him. He's too cocky Scott 04-28-2005, 04:45 AM Singing that Nickleback song killed Consantine....but he did not deserve to leave before Anthony and Scott. I am still pulling for Bo...but I don't think he'll beat Carrie (because america is stupid) FallenAngel 04-28-2005, 06:39 AM No he probably won't, but it'll probably come down to the two of them. Bo is good and Carrie is good, but I think the best out of all of them is Vonzell(sp?) She won't win though, AI is more of a popularity contest then talent contest smalltown_honey 04-28-2005, 10:36 AM I was disappointed to see Constantine leave last night because I think he was better than a couple that stayed....I thought it might end up with Constantine, Vonzell, Carrie and Bo for the final four.....just goes to show...you never know whats going to happen. Spazola 04-28-2005, 01:14 PM YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA!!!!!!!! Constantine is gone! I mean, he's better than Trak boy (anthony) or Scott, and is fun to look at, but atleast it wasnt Vonzell..... And I love that nickleback song...but he killed it :| Two Way Radio 04-28-2005, 04:26 PM I'm a big Bo fan myself, and Constantine being gone might help him, but I don't really care. Scott and Anthony are awful, and Constantine deserved to stay. I thought he had a legitimate shot at the final 2. I think I might actually pick up the charity single as well, get a chance to hear some of the best like Constantine and Nadia on an album...since we won't get to see them again :( Spazola 04-28-2005, 04:28 PM I'm a big Bo fan myself, and Constantine being gone might help him, but I don't really care.

He can do a decent job at normal songs, but when he tries to be a rocker.... :P I'm feeling what you're saying, he does seem like a poser. :hmm: -michele niceone7890 04-29-2005, 04:18 PM http://www.sirius-news.com/Bo_Bice_Gavin_DeGraw_-_I_Dont_Want_to_Be_mp3_4_26_april_26_2005.shtml Carrie and Bo are my favorites.

Two Way Radio 04-29-2005, 05:13 PM Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of both Bo and Constantine, I just give the slight edge to Bo myself. Hopefully Bo won't go out early too. I've never bought any of the American Idol CD's before, but this year I'm totally gonna buy the CD they put out at the end of the season with all 12 finalists....that way I can hear Bo and Constantine.

Meh, Ruben is the best out of all so far... let's be real now. -michele :nice: Zoot 04-30-2005, 12:16 AM My daughter is a state champion opera/classical singer. Could she sing Pop....I don't know. However, it doesn't mean she's not a great singer in the area she is comfortable in and gifted in. It just means she has an area of music which is good for her and the rest would be up for grabs. Just because someone is a 'rocker' ....doesn't mean they will do well singing an 80's song.....but it also doesn't suggest they can't do a rock song better than most. Competitions like this...gravitate towards people who can sing in a variety of music....fairly well. But it never suggests that each candidate...in their own arena isn't great. Therefore, I think each person individually on AI....will do fine .....if they follow what they are best at. And they are all very talented......no doubt. Corporate Avenger 04-30-2005, 05:04 AM This show will be the downfall of America Spazola 05-02-2005, 08:10 PM Meh, Ruben is the best out of all so far... let's be real now. -michele :nice: Ruben rules, but I still think Kelly Clarkson is the absolute best. I'm going to go see her in concert this wednesday! Hows that for a 13 birthday party? Spazola 05-02-2005, 08:12 PM This show will be the downfall of America No, George W. Bush will. X3nos 05-03-2005, 12:07 AM Ruben rules, but I still think Kelly Clarkson is the absolute best. I'm going to go see her in concert this wednesday! Hows that for a 13 birthday party? :hmm: Kelly who? :confused: -michele :jk: Oh and Happy Birthday! YAY! :D Jimmy Changa 05-03-2005, 10:19 AM Kelly...she's okay...you'll be on to someone else when you are turning 15. Ruben...he's good, we'll see if he lasts. Fantasia...has the best voice of all. Most unique and interesting. Hope she gets the best advice and training. She COULD go far. Bo...MIGHT make it through a couple more rounds. Constantine...makes me sick with his "look at how sexy I am" routine. His singing is boring. Glad he's gone. Carrie...Does great when she does country music. She could win if she sticks to that. Vonzell...what a babe! Sings the best too. Should win! ;) Spazola 05-03-2005, 10:36 AM :hmm: Kelly who? :confused: -michele :jk: Oh and Happy Birthday! YAY! :D Thank you. *dances* I'm gonna be 13.....I'm gonna be 13.... Two Way Radio 05-03-2005, 11:53 AM Bo...MIGHT make it through a couple more rounds. Constantine...makes me sick with his "look at how sexy I am" routine. His singing is boring. Glad he's gone. Carrie...Does great when she does country music. She could win if she sticks to that. Vonzell...what a babe! Sings the best too. Should win! ;) These four you just named, along with Anwar and Nadia is one of the reasons I'm probably going to buy the American Idol single for the first time. I just think between those six people, you've got a lot of talented singers with a wide array of music types they are strongest in. the champions previous years have been great, but the quality of the top 6-8 wasn't as good. Strega Del Vento 05-06-2005, 07:30 PM I've been hooked on American Idol since Season 1. It's embarrassing how it sucks you in.. hahaha. Anyway, I am VERY satisfied that Scott Savol is gone. I could NOT stand him. I'm a rocker chick at heart. That said, it's no secret that I want Bo to win. Carrie's got a great voice on her, but she's robotic, like Simon had mentioned last week. She rarely changes expressions when she's singing, or even smiles. Vonzell can sing the endings of songs really well. Unfortunately though, when I go to purchase a CD, I want the entirety of the songs to be good, not just the endings. I think Anthony will be going this week. I'm glad he wasn't booted on his birthday and danced around my living room when Scott was announced as the loser instead. heh. Jimmy Changa 05-06-2005, 10:09 PM every time Scott was on the TV my wife would not shut up about how ugly he is. She would go on about how there is nothing attractive about him at all....well except his voice. I tried to tell her to hush so we could hear. :lol: I'm glad he's gone too. I'm still rootin' for Vonzell because she's babe and because she will only get better with age. In 3 or 4 years she will be spectacular like Whitney Houston used to be, or like Mariah Carey used to be. She will get there very soon. I love to watch her sing. I liked Carrie at first but she got old real quick. Anthony will go next, then Carrie, then Bo... my prediction. :) Spazola 05-09-2005, 10:29 AM YAY! Scotts gone! He was an OK singer, but I personaly didnt like his voice at all. Now Athony needs to get out of the picture, and then....I wont be able to choose from there :hmm: I loved Carrie's version of "Trouble", by the way. SHE KICKED ASS!!! FallenAngel 05-09-2005, 01:42 PM every time Scott was on the TV my wife would not shut up about how ugly he is.

I liked Carrie at first but she got old real quick. Anthony will go next, then Carrie, then Bo... my prediction. :) I would love for Vonzell to win, but it’s highly unlikely that she will. I have a feeling she might even go this week. The thing is, this competition isn’t solely based on talent. A big portion of it is based on popularity. She doesn’t have that strong of a fanbase as some of the other competitors have. I think it’s going to come down to either Anthony and Carrie or Bo and Carrie. I think Carrie is probably going to win. I agree though that Vonzell is the best singer out of all of them. She continues to get better and she will continue to grow and get better. I just hope that if she doesn’t win, that some record company will snag her, cause she’s awesome. Jimmy Changa 05-10-2005, 10:52 PM I really want to see Bo NOT carry the mic stand around while he sings just one song. sheesh. Spazola 05-11-2005, 09:29 PM YAYA!!! Trak boy (Anthony) got voted off!!!! He was ok, but Carrie Bo and Vonzell are way better. YAY! ITS MY FINAL 3!!! Two Way Radio 05-13-2005, 03:33 PM Good riddance Anthony! I think we can agree that unless you were holding out for Constantine or Nadia a while ago, this is the most deserving Final 3 we could possibly have. I'm excited too because they announced what songs are going to be on the American Idol "Showstoppers" CD: 1. Carrie Underwood- Independence Day 2. Bo Bice- I Don't Wanna Be 3. Vonzell Solomon - Best of My Love 4. Anthony Federov- Every Time You Go Away 5. Nadia Turner- You Don't Have To Say You Love Me 6. Constantine Maroulis- My Funny Valentine 7. Jessica Sierra- Total Eclipse of the Heart 8. Scott Savol- Against All Odds 9. Nikko Smith- Part Time Lover 10. Anwar Robinson- A House Is Not A Home 11. Lindsay Cardinale- Knock on Wood 12. Mikalah Gordon- God Bless The Child 13. 12 Finalists - When You Tell Me That You Love Me Looks like a good album, I'm looking forward to picking it up. Zoot 05-13-2005, 03:39 PM See now....as a Mom...I thought Anthony was such a sweet boy! My son told me that it was on the news Constantine's band released their first CD yesterday. MamaG 05-13-2005, 04:26 PM Nooooo...Anthony was good.....NOW, what are they gonna do? I think no matter what happens, Carrie will be safe....it's between the other two and I'm getting so sick of Bo Zoot 05-13-2005, 04:41 PM I wonder if it really goes by populas vote....or if that vote is only a portion the overall vote from the real shareholders of the show. Like 49% of the 51% corporate. X3nos 05-14-2005, 03:22 AM YAYA!!! Trak boy (Anthony) got voted off!!!! He was ok, but Carrie Bo and Vonzell are way better. YAY! ITS MY FINAL 3!!! I'm so glad Anthony is gone *jumps around*, I didn't like him much :not:. Anyway, I'm not into country :P... so Carrie is totally weak. Vonzell has a beautiful voice, but I honestly want Bo to win it all... it be cool for a rocker to come out on top... :D -michele Spazola 05-18-2005, 09:01 PM Oh...my...god. Bo kicked some serious ass last night. I'm sitting here watching the results show. If Bo goes anywhere, I'm killing someone. *eyes michele* X3nos 05-18-2005, 09:15 PM Oh...my...god. Bo kicked some serious ass last night. I'm sitting here watching the results show. If Bo goes anywhere, I'm killing someone. *eyes michele* :| :eek7: :eek3: :eek: :D *hides* But seriously, Bo did really well, but dang Vonzell can really blow, I hope Carrie gets voted off. -michele Spazola 05-18-2005, 09:18 PM :| :eek7: :eek3: :eek: :D *hides* But seriously, Bo did really well, but dang Vonzell can really blow, I hope Carrie gets voted off. -michele I dont know...Vonzell is good, but shes so....TYPICAL. I think that the final two should be Bo and Carrie. I wanted Carrie to win, until last night....now I am a Bo-girl! :nice: Spazola 05-18-2005, 09:31 PM Yay!!!!

Love her and all, but I love Carrie and Bo more.;) I think I want Bo to win, too. ROCK ON!!! No, you didn't ruin it, actually saves me from having to watch it. I really don't care to see the results, I just care about the Tuesday night to hear the singing. :nice: Yep, rock on!!! -michele :D Metty Q Luss 05-18-2005, 10:29 PM This just serves as more proof that the public is not a worthy judge of anything -- even "pop stars". Funny; it seems this should be the public's one areas of expertise. This and pro wrestling. That Bo guy sucks, and is hideous to boot. What reason would anyone have to vote for him? Country music is for losers, which makes Carrie a loser by default. I don't want to hear yokels crying about their tractors/dead chickens/"broken hearts", especially if the yokel in question is "cute", blond and female. Vonzell was better than the remaining two, and even she couldn't hold a candle to Fantasia.

Just because YOU impaticular dont seem to be into Rock or Country is no reason to get all snobby about it. Chill. Go with the flow, just decide the lesser of two evils. Vonzell will get a record deal, anyway. X3nos 05-18-2005, 10:51 PM That Bo guy sucks, and is hideous to boot. What reason would anyone have to vote for him? :blahblah: I will agree to the "Country music is for losers"... :nice: But you lost all credibility with the comment above about Bo. :nonono: You're done Metty! Also Vonzell and Fantasia cannot even be compared, they have totally different styles... -michele beatlebabe 05-19-2005, 12:49 AM If Carrie doesn't win, my son is gonna go ballistic :eek3: He was crushed last year when Diana lost to Fantasia.

Muahahahaha! -michele beatlebabe 05-19-2005, 12:55 AM I will lose the little sanity I have left if Carrie loses :( X3nos 05-19-2005, 01:00 AM I will lose the little sanity I have left if Carrie loses :( GOOOOOOOOO CARRIE! :nice: There! -michele But seriously, Bo is kind of Countrish, like rock country. :hmm: beatlebabe 05-19-2005, 01:01 AM That's better :D beatle isn't allowed to lose any more sanity...no good could come of that :nonono: Jimmy Changa 05-19-2005, 07:14 AM I'm sad about Baby V but she will still get her record deal. :^x Bo is going to take it now and the reason is the exact same reason Fantasia won last year. Bo has a style all his own. Whether you like it or not, he is an individual with a performer/star quality that Carrie does NOT have. She simply imitates.

I was really shocked though that Vonzell was voted off before her. No offense, but Vonzell does sing WAY better... let's be real. -michele MangoGirl 05-19-2005, 02:41 PM Too bad somebody had to go, because they are all pretty talented people. I'm starting to think it'll be a toss up now. Zoot 05-19-2005, 02:46 PM I think they are ALL very talented young people and I do hope they end up following their dreams. Last night it came down to Country, Rock and Soul. It's a shame it didn't stop right there and all of them be considered the winners. Maybe it comes down to 'marketing'. Bo has great talent....but I'm not sure if he would have the 'following' in terms of CD Sales due to his age and particular style. He sure can sing though. I've enjoyed the whole season with him in it. Jimmy Changa 05-20-2005, 06:38 AM It's wasn't just Country, Rock and Soul....there is clearly a star quality (on stage) about Bo that isn't there with Carrie. Something Vonzell has too (but isn't as developed yet IMO). American Idol has seemed to pick winners that have uniqueness of presence as well as singing talent for the past winners, that's why Bo seems to be the more logical choice. Carrie just isn't as unique. Too true, marketing plays a huge roll....after all we are all just lead around by our 30-second commercial driven passions...lol blisterinthesun 05-20-2005, 01:25 PM there is clearly a star quality (on stage) about Bo that isn't there with Carrie. Something Vonzell has too (but isn't as developed yet IMO). you hit the nail on the head here. Jay GW 05-23-2005, 12:07 AM Bo Bice has been playing in a band for several years. I don't know if the posters here knew that. If you go on American Idol, expect to compete with people who've been playing professionally for along time. The guy, Fedorov, sang in a Russian restaurant (he was born in Russia) but he's never been in front of a mixed audience like Bo Bice has. If you've never sang in public as a real singer, the chances of you making it as American Idol are approximately zero. Simon Cowell, the founder of Pop Idol which is the British version exported to America, is not telling people the whole truth about AI. Somebody walking in off the street is not going to win. The popularity of American Idol is that the average person thinks average people can win. Not true. Most of the contestants that make it to TV, if not 100 percent of them, have been in bands for years. To say that out loud would mess up the whole "rags to riches" aura the show has, so everybody pretends that you, the McDonalds fry cook, can actually be a winner. Yea, ok. :rolleyes: If American Idol allowed the only people that could win, the professionals, on television, it would just the new version of American Bandstand. The Simon Cowell genius is to let the average person on and make the public think they really have some kind of chance to win, when they really don't. You tell me. Do you think you could walk onstage and perform better than someone that's been doing it for 10 years? Spazola 05-25-2005, 05:57 PM So who do you all think is going to win tonight? Bo or Carrie? I think that they both deserve it, and I will be happy either way, but I voted for Bo :D Zoot 05-25-2005, 06:08 PM I'm not sure who my son ended up voting for....I think he randomly hit a number because it was too hard to chose. We spent more time discussing if Bo and Carrie were dating. LOL! Spazola 05-25-2005, 06:25 PM I'm not sure who my son ended up voting for....I think he randomly hit a number because it was too hard to chose. We spent more time discussing if Bo and Carrie were dating. LOL! I dont think so.... Son, eh? How old is he? Is he single? :p X3nos 05-25-2005, 06:36 PM So who do you all think is going to win tonight? Bo or Carrie? I think that they both deserve it, and I will be happy either way, but I voted for Bo :D Bo is going to win hands down. (if I'm wrong replace "Bo" with "Carrie" as a typo) :nice: -michele :D Tally 05-25-2005, 09:59 PM I just watched the finale, Carrie won :| I'm a little dissappointed, she's good but she's nothing special. I think American Idol should be about singers who are unique with talent and style all their own, Carrie is just so typical :hmm: beatlebabe 05-25-2005, 10:01 PM I'm glad she won, because now my son will be a very happy boy. That's the only reason why I care this season :p Jimmy Changa 05-25-2005, 11:45 PM Damn, I called that ending ALL wrong. I truley must be in the minority in this country. :p X3nos 05-26-2005, 01:11 AM Bo is going to win hands down. (if I'm wrong replace "Bo" with "Carrie" as a typo) :nice: -michele :D Sorry about the type, I meant to say Carrie is going to win. ;) Seriously though, I'm not happy she won, but whatever, hopefully her CD will flop. -michele :jk: She still sucks though. :| WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! :( beatlebabe I'm happy for you though, jerk. Spazola 05-26-2005, 12:08 PM Carrie was great, and she totaly deserved to win, but I personaly just liked Bo better :D Oh, well. Runner up always gets a record deal :nice: beatlebabe 05-26-2005, 12:20 PM Carrie was great, and she totaly deserved to win, but I personaly just liked Bo better :D Oh, well. Runner up always gets a record deal :nice: That's what I told my son last week, because I was thinking Bo would win, and I was trying to soften the blow :p He's double happy now...he got the Diana DeGarmo CD last week. I am officially entering music hell soon.

You poor thing :p How old is your son? beatlebabe 05-26-2005, 12:25 PM He's 11 :) Spazola 05-26-2005, 12:29 PM He's 11 :) Hehe...yes, in a couple years he'll be "over" American Idol (or altleast when his buddys are over) :p For some strange reason, teenaged guys seem to think that they cant watch American Idol or listen to female singers...:shrug: I dont see why not... beatlebabe 05-26-2005, 12:34 PM My son loves female singers. I'm not sure if it's good or bad :hmm: Spazola 05-26-2005, 12:44 PM My son loves female singers. I'm not sure if it's good or bad :hmm: Hmmmm....this is difficult. On the one hand: he could grow up to be one of those sensitive, sweet guys that girls swoon over; or on the other hand...he could be gay. :| I dont see anything wrong with either one....but who knows, I could be wrong, and he could be neither :p Two Way Radio 06-02-2005, 04:18 PM I was just over at BarnesandNoble.com shopping for books, and I noticed that Bo and Carries singles, even though they aren't out yet, are #1 and #4 on their list. Seems like a lot of people are eager to get Bo and Carrie in recorded form. I know I'm looking forward to picking up the singles. |
