For those of you who may not know, there is a TV show in America called "American Idol". It features unknown amateur entertainers competing on a weekly basis for a chance at securing a professional recording contract and other various perks that come with being the champion. Anyway, on last night's show the entire group of contestants got together and did a group sing to "He, Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother". I thought you might be interested in reading this morning's review on that moment. Here goes ...

"Apparently 31.5 million votes were cast on Wednesday night. As FOX might say, "Hah, hah. Fooled you again and it's a ratings bonanza." Then, all of the contestants turn to Scott Savol and sing a chorus of "He Ain't Heavy (He's My Brother)." It's much better than last week's group sing until Nikko Smith and Vonzell Solomon decide to sing their own chorus of "Ain't No Chorus Flat Enough." Scott later joins in with "Ain't No Verse Sharp Enough."

As long as they're performing as individuals, it isn't brutal, but when they decide to come together, it appears that nobody bothered teaching them about the principles of harmony. My favorite image is of Anthony Fedorov covering his ear to better listen to his own part. That's a great idea. When I cover both of my ears with my headphones and put on a recording of The Hollies singing the song, it does sound much better."

So true, James! I didn't see that performance, but I did see those people performing individually. Some could sing, some were just awful. I think it's a disgrace for them to have done "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother." I just hope none of the Hollies saw that broadcast!
