"God Bless the Child" on Idol?


Anyone catch Jacob Lusk's performance of this Billie Holiday classic last night on American Idol?

It was truly one of the most earth shattering performances I've ever seen on the show.

BH herself would have been proud.

Can't wait to hear what this guy does next.

There seems to be a fair abundance of real musical talent on Idol this year so far it seems!

country music is not my favorite cup of tea but i do like scotty as a perfect fit for the mold.
The reality is James was a good showman, but his vocals just we not that good. Besides, his "emotional stability" issues may be charming on Idol, but won't do him any favors in a professional career. This is still and always has been Scotty's competition to loose. I got to say I love Haley more every week. Her contempt for the J-Lo and Randy is written all over her.
"Every time I see the country crooner I think Alfred E. Newman sings country...LOL"

Me too now that you mention it LOL, but I really love that kid and how entertaining was the "Country Crooner" and Lady Gaga? I mean this year had some really memorable moments and that one will always stand out for me. I had a vision before I saw it but the reality was better than I ever could have imagined, great stuff!
