What about an album of duets with Bo and Carrie:
Stumblin' In - originally by Suzi Quatro and Chris Norman
Leather and Lace - originally by Stevie Nicks and Don Henley

For Carrie's strength how about a Loretta and Conway song, or a Tammy and George song, or a Dolly and Porter song. Kenny Rogers did some duets. Any other suggestions?
Stop Dragging My Heart Around - Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks
Islands in the Stream - Kenny Rogers and Dolly

Granted, with grooming Carrie will go along way - it's very obvious they were nervous last night - heaven knows I sure couldn't have got up on that stage knowing over 30 million viewers will be critiquing my vocals that may have cracked, or get up there and move that body - I think they both have grown tremendously.  My vote sticks! - Carrie

Isn't this supposed to be for amateurs? If Bo has already recorded a CD and been performing on stage, then how does that compare to someone that is green and new to the industry?
Carrie released a CD when she was 13-14 also. She has been performing since she was little. Not quite like having a band (Purge, and Sugar Money), but she isn't exactly green either. His experience certainly shows through in his performances, and I think that once Carrie gets used to singing in front of larger crowds, and singing more often, she will be a heck of a perfomer.
Didn't know about her CDs. Everyone just kept talking about Bo's.

They say its what America wanted- sorry but with the people voting how many times each for their favorite- its not what America wanted - its what America got.
I said I wished them both luck- but don't change what it is all about either- Simon said Bo was nervous on the big stage and Carrie pulled it off the last night- and she would win- well talk about consistency each week and who had it each week. Talk about who forgot her lines to songs some nights and talk about off key at times too.
They both will do something good with their lives no doubt-even though America was not ready for a "rock and roller" the voting still has issues to be dealt with. You not only have the phone calling in abuse but you have the text messaging in abuse too. How can anyone say it's fair to have someone vote 40 times a night for their favorite? I don't get it at all. It would be really interesting to go back and take one phone call per phone number and see what the results are- maybe the results would not change but it would surely be interesting to see just how many one phone number calls there really was.
One more thing- the commercial with Paula and Simon kissing- that was puke city- they need to throw that scene in a rip roaring fire. Yuck!

The whole voting thing stinks. To say that there were a half a billion votes is really misleading. It could have really just been a bunch of people voting a million times each. There have been people on this thread alone who say they vote 40-50-60 times each. Now is when the REAL contest begins: who's gonna sell the most CD's?

No, it's not at all misleading. They didn't say half a billion PEOPLE voted, they said half a billion votes. They assume an average of 10 votes per person.

Okay. I guess I forgot to put IMO. IMO, I believe that the voting tally is misleading. I don't think it should be many, many votes per person.

Let me get this straight...Bo & Carrie both have out CD's from BEFORE American Idol? That doesn't seem quite fair. Also on the Constantine issue... at first I thought he was da' bomb. But after thinking it over-he is just too full of himself.

I heard only 146 votes separated the 2, not sure if that's true.
@!&*, I knew I should've voted another 150 times!

Depends on how the CD was made and promoted. Anyone can rent a studio and make a CD. Our High School group does it for a fund-raiser every year. A friend of mine made one as a gift for her parents. That's a lot different than if it if promoted on radio and sold in retail stores, internet, etc.

It's difficult to limit the voting to one vote per telephone number. What if you have a group of people in one place? Each person should be able to vote for his or her choice. What if a husband and wife want to vote for someone different? Especially when there were six or more contestants to vote for.
