Well, both of those songs stink. I’m just saying. He doesn’t have much vocal range though so he should be okay with both of them. It’s not like they have a lot of runs and long notes, etc. Still, both songs are a bit dull- especially I shot the Sheriff. I hate that song. It’s boring. All those songs and he picks that one. Yuck. Thank goodness I am a Cook fan
tarah, i agree with you completely. yuck, boring. i’m a cook fan, as well, but i was hoping jason would pull something amazing out of his hat to hurry syesha out the door.
Jason is making a statement with that song, I love it!
The elements of that song is people been judging you and you can’t stand it no more and you explode, you just explode (Bob Marley july 1975)
The speaker knows the system is stacked against him because he is to be brought in “guilty” for a crime he would never deign to consider, “the killing of a deputy.”
” the protagonist is willing to fight against an enemy that threatens his . . . moral integrity “Brother you’re right, you’re right/ You’re right, you’re right, you’re so right/We gonna fight, we’ll have to fight/ We gonna fight, fight for our rights” (“Zimbabwe”). The speaker is not cowering in the shadow of the “Sheriff” nor is he willing to become a martyr, “But if you know what life is worth/You would look for yours on earth/And now you see the light/ You stand up for your rights” (“Get up, Stand up’) and confronts the “Sheriff” because his life is on the line, ‘You want come cold I up/ But you can’t come cold I up” (“Trench Town Rock”).
JASON WHAT WERE YOU THINKING???? I’m very sad. I’m a huge fan and really wanted him in the Top 3 but there is no way that is happening now. These are awful songs with zero appeal. I don’t feel like they could be much worse. Some supporters are trying desperately to put a “spin” on it but I’m one of the honest ones and I don’t see how he can make either of these songs work. They’re simply too bad (negative lyrics, repetitative, old/dated, uninspiring) and will not appeal to a broad audience.
david cook needs to do house of the rising sun
Sorry Idol fans, that wasn’t me! That Joan was an imposter. I have yet to hear news of ANYONE’s song choices for tonight.
Though I enjoyed your riddle, imposter Joan.
TMZ posted tonight’s song choices.
Alas David Cook is going to sing his brother’s favorite band’s (Duran Duran) song – Hungry Like a Wolf. Well here’s hoping that he knocks it out of the park becuase that song is really 80′s… He’s also singing Baba O’Rielly
Jason has ignored all our pleas for No Woman no Cry and is instead doing I Shot the Sherrif and Mr Tambourine Man. Good songs just not what I would have picked for him.
Little David is doing Love Me Tender (can he really sing notes that low???) and Stand by Me – that should be good.
Syesha is doing Proud Mary (hmm not sure she can pull of Tina Turner) and Change is Gonna Come
Anti-climactic, to say the least! They were all either too freaked to bring it or they don’t give a rip! At this point in the competition, that was a very weird night.
Ras Mihael and the Sons Of Negus “Non A Jah Jah Children No Cry”.Would take Jaso Off The Top
“Wipe Out” written by the Surfaris is the rock drum solo all are compared by’
The Surfaris were rock rule breakers wave back before it was vouge With their songs lead guitar licks and drum fills. They are nothollwood hpe they are ROCKERS!!!
