You know how everyone always says, four people must have accidently hit the dislike button?? Well, I actually did accidently hit the dislike button... whoops!!
I love the video, best version ever, and best duet ever!!!
i agree jolie, carly was always one of my favorites, michael johns did well on this performance too, i have always like michael johns more than david cook and jason castro, he is a lot better than those two. cook and castro are horrible, boring, and can't sing, they both suck. michael johns is better, for sure. carly should have at least been in the top 4 with archie as the winner, brooke, and ramiele, love them, they were and are the best of season 7.
lol wen lee sang this song, i couldnt hear him but this version kept playing in my mind, like pickle61790 i also really miss season 7. everyone in top 10 back then could be a winner for this season>.>.
You know it's an amazing performance when you can remember it after two years. And they didn't even win! This was incredible. Season 7 was by far the most talented season
It's ridiculous how sometimes there is so much talent in one season and so little in another. And we get some people who are kicked off who are better than some winners. Oh, you know who I'm talking about. :)
Carly is a fantastic singer and she should have won. I love this duet, they are fantastic and compliment each other in their vocals and appearance. I have watched this video so many times and never get tired of it.

Sorry, but whoever made this arrangement of The Letter needs to be ruthlessly tortured to death for the next 20 lifetimes.
To do THAT to the classic by The Box Tops is that much of a crime. Please find it on YouTube so that you realize how severely they destroyed this song (the arrangement, not the necessarily the vocals).
Why they weren't slaughtered inhumanely after the season finale the first time they did this is proof that there IS mercy in the world.
Geez they were performing this again in American idol, result show for the first group! And you they are fucking awesome. Anyway. Who's song is this? Elton John?
"The Letter is a song written by Wayne Carson Thompson and made famous by The Box Tops and their singer, Alex Chilton, released in 1967 on the album of the same name. It reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number five on the UK singles chart. The song was popular during the Vietnam War and was also included in the computer game Battlefield Vietnam. Rolling Stone ranked it #363 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time."
mann. they are on fireee!! lol. ~sizzle~ x] haha. nd i wish they were contestants ferr this seasons AI cause in general this years contestants cant compare to previous years. nd thats the truth. :[
I think micheal and carly would make a great couple...... just think a couple that sing as good as these two do... u never know...... ya i know they are married, but u know how stars are with marriages.....lol
The first time I heard this I didn't like it because it's not my usual type of music that I like, BUT OMGZ MICHAEL AND CARLY! :D!! I can't get enough of it now, lol!

I prefer Lee's version. It's more soulful and he made the song current. Carly oversang it. And Michael Johns made it old-fashioned and rather dull.
