Okay, so it's not his thing, but he should still be able to memorize the lyrics. What he's saying doesn't even make sense. And come on, by this point, there were more than enough pop/rock musicals that he should have been able to find something better.
I love Pippin and I love this song...but this performance was simply awful. It's almost as if Bo and whoever arranged this for AI went out of their way to divest the song of all its inherent beauty and feeling. Randy and Paula must have no idea what a proper rendition of "Corner of the Sky" is supposed to sound like, judging from their praise.
its so annoying that Simon gives him a bad review and everyone boo's him.. are randy and paula really that naive? uh did they not hear him MUMBLING in a national competition to find the best performer in America? you dont even have to know the lyrics to know he was completely lost from the beginning.. i do think he's a good singer tho
hahahaha.."i don't like the thunder" was it? "winter comes after fall."hahahahaha..I'm sorry can't help it.BWAHAHAHAHa:))so scattered brains in this one.
in fairness, it's hard to sing something that ain't your thing.good vocals though.
There could have been some really good performances if the contestants actually knew what was there. The emotions from these broadway shows are brilliant.
im sorry i think you misinterpreted what I was saying...
at about "2:41" seconds, Paula says quote:"It's show tunes", she says it like its an excuse for why BOBO sucked at singing the song, like as if "show tunes" isnt real music. I am a believer that some of the best songs ever written are show tunes, and paula is an idiot for thinking otherwise...thats what i was trying to say.
I don't like it =[ The beauty of the song was its slow simple melody...I always wish that they would do a competition in the same way as American idol but for musical theare.
at 33 seconds he seemed to forgot the lyrics! Well, actually, he forgot the wrong lyrics. "*mumble mumble* thunder! Weather comes after fall! sometimes i think i'm not after anything at all! Rivers were made so they can ramble . . . you ask me if i'm happy there. nevermore than i've been. sometimes i know the truth is like laughter on the wind . . . " somebody needs to see their lyric sheet.
Wow. Bo didn't seem to have a clue of what sort of emotion he was supposed to put into this song. Broadway songs are about telling a story, he was just singing a song.
This is one of S. Schwatrz's most beautifully constructed songs,...along with "No Time At All", from PIPPIN. If you posessed the talent or inclination to pen the lyrics AND melody of this entire score, thatgirl2905, I'll bet you'd be singin' a different tune. ( ...almost as 'different' as Bo's . His is not an arrangement, it's a 'dis-arrangement'.).
although he has the lyrics different, i looked them up, and they had once existed within the song (they were changed before the premiere). why he would use these discarded lyrics though, is beyond me...
Best song from PIPPIN. I was in it. Listen to the PIPPIn album and there will be a big difference. John Rubinstein who originated the role of PIPPIN is Better.
Hey now. I'm just as much of a fan as the original Broadway version of this as anyone. But in the same respect, this is a show to find a POP idol, not a BROADWAY idol. That was the goal of You're The One That We Want, and that didn't go to well. So while I personally don't like this version, I think they had to change it up to make it more pop-ish.
wow they seriously messed it up... im singing this 4 chorus and he totally messed up the words the beginning wasnt even the true beginning it got messed up
no this is actually the lyrics to the childrens version of the show. i don't know why he sings the childrens lyrics thow. quite peculiar. *thinks* *head explodes* :)
yea he did it everyman has his day dreams, everyman has his goal, people like the way dreams having a sticking to the soul, thunder clouds having their lightning, night in gales have their song, but dont you see i want my life to be something more than long......etc,
I guess he hit a lot of the notes.

No, you're both wrong down there. The original broadway musical, directed by Fosse was in 1972. The staged movie came out in 1981.

I'd have to say that this song wasn't one of his strong points. Of course, during musical week, how the hell could he pull it off.
If he could be allowed to compromise like David cook did with Billie Jean, he would be able to pull it off.
