Well, it's actually a Bonnie Raitt song, but someone did sing "I Can't Make You Love Me..." and she did a VERY good job of it.


edit: and i like Simon -- he speaks more truth than the others, for real. i don't believe in letting people waste their lives on a talent they don't have just because you were too nice and gave them false hope in something they'll never achieve. and hey, if they do have the potential, then being told they don't have "it" will cause them to kick it up a notch to better themselves, and then maybe they will have a chance.

by the way, everyone should quit telling people they can sing when they can't. a lot of people were saying, "but my friends said i have a good voice" and they had nothing CLOSE to a good voice.

I think she's my favorite right now. Isn't it funny how just by the way a person enters the audition room you can kind of tell if they're going to sing well? The only one that fooled me was the guy on the premier episode that was doing a beat box and break dancing. I thought, he's not going to be able to sing. He proved me wrong.

I heard that for the last tour they were going to do a medly of Prince with Fantasia doing Purple Rain.

His stuff doesn't always lend itself to showcasing your voice. It's so individual that you need to be creative to really sound good doing it. Imagine someone singing Le Grind or Lovesexy. Actually Lovesexy would work on one of those ensemble numbers.

That's why everyone sings Stevie Wonder. The melodies leave nothing to the imagination. You just sing them straight, and if you can carry a tune, it sounds pretty good.

Some of the ones mentioned (LRC, Adore, Do Me Baby) would work pretty well, though.

Lovesexy would only confuse the hell out of everybody in the audience. There would be about 3 Prince die-hards going nuts and a whole lot of neutral

I was only thinking musically, but yeah lyrically Prince is often not appropriate for AI.

Speaking of ensemble numbers, I once saw them do "Play in the Sunshine" on Miss America. Funny seeing them sing about extacy, even in the negative.

Okay,

you would give Simon a blow job and he would say "That was absolutely horrible".
(Regardless of how good you were) No, I would not like to be critiqued by Simon when it comes to the bedroom, even though I haven't had any complaints yet.

That could totally be true but who is Prince to critique anyone. He released TRC for Gods sake!
