starvenger 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2005 I dont see why Clear Channel would have a problem with him and youre right Kevin Hot AC (more so than AAA since there's not that many of those stations around) would eat him up. Yeah, i forgot. AAA radio is pretty much dead thanks to the near oligopoly CC et al have over the airwaves. Although the "Jack" format may be a start to bringing it back. Anyways, my point is that CC owns a shitload of radio stations across the US. Get in bed with them, and they'll probably push Bo like crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

starvenger 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2005 A buddy of mine works at a CC in Toledo, and another friend started out in radio before he moved to IT. It's kinda telling that he's getting me a Sirius system as a wedding present. Although that's more for football than music... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mik 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2005 I've been doing a lot of thinking about it lately, and I've come to the following conclusion: No matter what Carrie does... I won't buy it. But if a Bo Bice CD is done correctly... I think I might. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

starvenger 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2005 They're pretty much "burning off" the episodes (since the show hasn't been renewed), so by putting it up against the finale they're not really sacrificing anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smh810 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2005 Is anyone else noticing how they're trying to rig this for Carrie. The band has been awfully loud for Bo and awfully soft for Carrie tonight. Even though in spite of that Bo did win Round 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C Dubya 04 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2005 Well, I thought that Bo's second song was very good, as was Carrie's. I didn't like Carrie's versions of either of the original songs, but enjoyed Bo's second, so I'd say that Bo was once again the best. I like Bo's style a lot more, so that of course influences me, but I think he is just a lot better than Carrie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2005 I don't really understand why people say that. I was forced to sit through this show with my fiance for the first time, and I have to say, Bo isn't really that great. He's a good singer and he'll have a good career either way, but Carrie outsang him by quite a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Rrrsh Report post Posted May 25, 2005 QUITE a bit. Bo was very normal today. Carrie last performance kills anything Bo did. Bo has done way better than tonight, too bad for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mik 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2005 Yeah, Bo KILLED Carrie in the song they both sang. His version blew hers out of the water. Carrie's original song was MUCH better than Bo's. Not his fault. The problem with Carrie is that she is too similar to Kelly Clarkson. Sure, she has the country aspect, but they could essentially release the same album. I managed to log seven successful votes for Bo while I was watching the show. That's the good thing about DVR...can vote while you watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2005 I hate to admit it, but Carrie did slightly better than Bo, even with that stick crammed up her ass...I'll be surprised if she doesn't win tonight... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Joseph 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2005 See girls like Carrie are a dime a dozen. I can walk any street and find a girl who looks just as good or better, and who can sing just as good or better. American hippie boys are much harder to find. To me, the vote should be on the whole season. Does anyone remember any of Carrie's songs? Because the most memorable performances seem to be mostly in Bo's camp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2005 you need to keep in mind the type of people that actually watch and vote this competition...the kind of fanbase Carrie would have...Bo is a vastly superior performer, but I'm honestly surprised he's made it this far...

Mik 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2005 To be honest...at this point it doesn't matter. As long as you're in the final two, you'll get an album. And if you're lucky like Clay Aiken, you'll be more famous than the winner. So many people just assume Clay won because he is so much more famous and sold so many more albums than Reuben.

Exslade ZX 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2005 Sort of hoping Bo loses, even though I want him to win. Did you hear the two original songs? They weren't that good at all, especially with his style, although he did work it out. I agree with Randy. I'd rather see what producers come up with specifically for him.

smh810 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2005 Also keep in mind adding to what Lushus said and what I said last week Carrie has the most organized fanbase perhaps in AI history. They ALWAYS vote and she has never even sniffed the Bottom 3 (until last week winks at Kevin). Go on the internet and do a search for her you'll find a bunch of fan groups for her. Bo has some stuff too but not to the same degree. I think there was a slight edge to Carrie last night if only because she had the last performance of the show which is what people will remember. So for tonight I say Carrie wins by 7500 votes, two years from now Bo wins by 3 million. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2005 exactly...see I'm the kind of guy who pushes for someone, likes them, but doesn't vote...I know, I suck...but Carrie's fanbase will ALWAYS vote, whereas I think a majority of Bo's voters are of my same mindset...
