Paul McDonald - American Dreams - The Grand Magnolias - American Idol

[MNCyn]

THANK YOU to American Idol for introducing this talented singer/songwriter to the world!! He was probably the most un-idol contestant ever, but that only adds to his charm! Looking forward to seeing him with the Grand Magnolias in concert sometime in the near future!!

[pixierainbow7]

"Oh my goodness i saw your picture in the newspaper!" LOL :D

[dirkimy]

Paul Mcdonald is a good singer and had a Unique voice and talent but he had horrible song choice in Idol maybe Idol is not meant for him...

[jlpatrick1]

Love listening to Paul! Come back to Athens and play at the 40 Watt!!!

[papagriz33]

Seriously....this song & performance is 1000% better than anything he did on Idol.

I don't quite get it, but his voice & vibe just didn't translate well to America's leading karaoke contest. He should have just sung original material every week. LOL

[11pwc]

Paul, I love your style! I am so happy we got to see you on American Idol.

I wish you much success......you have such Great Character and a Presence that is

Quintessential American . Wishing you much success and Happiness!!!!!

Oh, and keep dancing!

[dirkimy]

PAul got the American dreams...

[dirkimy]

PaUL PAUL MCDONALD Im loving it paparapapap..!!!:D

[romell93]

Im a girl from sweden and i Think Paul McDonald is fabolous . I really think he is gonna be a global singer with his soft unic voice. I´m a big fan!!! best wishes for you!

[MarsR808]

This is my favorite song <3 Its great!

I really want to get the album or see Paul sing live! :D

Love you Paul!! And The Grand Magnolias too!

[emberxrose98]

You'll go far Paul, you're amazing and I've never heard anything like you.

Love you! <3

[Tutorialestechdeck]

Big Paul!!

[Jitt3rs]

Y'all should come visit Florida!

[Carol9812]

Go Paul and Grand Magnolias! The suit is perfect too! Even my preteen daughter loves it! She wants your tee shirt off your site.

[PaulCaseyHaleytop3]

hey voozun444, this isn't the first video Ive seen you trash Paul on, so please shut the fuck up, cause no one here gives 2 fucks about what you think. Just thought id let you no. And Paul's suit rocks!!!!!!!

[PaulCaseyHaleytop3]

@Voozun444 This isn't the first video Ive seen you trash Paul on, so please shut the fuck up, cause no one on here gives 2 fucks what you think...Just thought I'd let you know. And Paul's suit kicks ass!!!!!

[PaulCaseyHaleytop3]

@Voozun444

This isn't the first video Ive seen u trash Paul on, so please shut the fuck up...cause no one on here gives a fuck what you think. Just thought I'd let u no.

[MsAshleywatson]

Lol. Paul, you and your funky suit!

[priscilalomas]

paul es el mejor!!!!!!!!!!

[1995Juliet]

I got a twitter just to follow Paul. <3

[FarhanHusain]

Bought the album today! It is realllyyyyyy good! Be sure to check it out Paul fans!

[bichonfrise2121]

Yes!!! Paul is already an artist!!! What an amazing voice. American Idol was a great platform to get his music and talent out here. Look at JHudson, she was voted off and she’s been having an amazing ride… Grammy’s, Oscar etc… The Grand Magnolias is really grand. Paul will surely have a greater career too.

[mrjericho5701]

Paul has one of the greatest voices I ever heard,....keep going paul,...you are already a big star,..you were the best on Idol

[flight108]

cant wait for yu to start makin music ... i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ur voiceee *_*

[Booshibonton]

HE'S GOOOOOOOOONE! :D

no hard feelings, though...

[RandomWhacko]

WHY THE HECK IS HE NOT ON AMERICAN IDOL ANYMORE? GOD DAMN YOU AMERICA FOR NOT VOTING FOR HIM. HE IS/WAS THE BEST ONE THERE. OH MY GOD I WAS SCREAMING AT THE TV. I HOPE YOUR HAPPY. ACTUALLY NO, I DONT HOPE YOUR HAPPY. I HOPE YOUR SITTING, WHEREVER, AND THINKING TO YOUR SELF, OH NO WHY DIDN'T I VOTE FOR HIM?! AMERICAN IDOL IS A SHAM NOW BECAUSE OF YOU.

[sterlingjet]

Paul should stick to his own genre. This is way better than the idol stuff. Don't let those money hungry producers take control of your music, people need the real stuff u give right here.

[MrFemefatale]

I like, i like so much this song you to Paul :)

[MrFemefatale]

I like, i like so much this song you to Paul

[gandior]

i can only say thank you to the amer idol for bringing this incrediblle talent to my attention. love the voice and his type of music. you guys have a new fan and i am sure many many more. keep on truckin

[vgravino09]

[xXkellieraeXx]

all of america was just jelous!. your too awesome . i love you paul! =)

[DoUWanna007]

So upset...smashed TV no Paul no TV I'm done with TV 4ever!!!!

[PaulMcdonaldFan]

i miss paul

[pugsley66]

Sad to see him go but if not for Idol, I never would have known the talent of the Grand Magnolias( at least not right now) so I say thanks Idol for introducing me to Paul and this amazing band. I so dig!!

[20itemsorless]

He's making his move living "The American Dream" go do what you do Paul!

[TheGrandMagnolias]

No worries about Paul getting voted off... only a TV show. Support Paul & his original music it's what's real! Thanks everyone. Listen to The Grand Magnolias at  ThePaulMcDonald(.com)

[ImSureYouWillForget]

Awww I almost cried when he got voted off cause he is my favorite and i had school that night so I had to go to bed early so I didnt get to vote.. I kinda blaim myself for him leaving :(!!!

[Mrgmoneys]

What has this world come to, voting him off thats ridiculous.

[ApricotOfLove]

Yeah I wouldn't have wanted him to win, you know, for himself, but I wish he would have lasted longer.

[krazykanuck21]

American Idol is just a show, but without it, I probably wouldn't have had the pleasure, or at least for some time of hearing Pauls voice, and now your bands overall original music, and I just love it and can't wait to pick up your CD when it becomes available or if it is already. Keep up the great work. Canada loves you guys!

[pugsley66]

@krazykanuck21 I actually wrote my response and then read yours. LOL! I guess we Canadians know our music . ;> Which means this band will have to come to Canada when they tour!!!

[lrtubeyou]

Love you Paul. So sad you had to go...I'll be waiting for your next big thing!

[TheGrandMagnolias]

Thank you guys for your support! Remember, Idol is a just a TV show. Paul's original music is what's important! ThePaulMcDonald(.com)

[KaylaJones9614]

@TheGrandMagnolias Paul!! i really hope you will make it big! continue your work! you are so talented and deserve greatness. I hope you stay strong to who you are and stick with your band:) if you do that i'm sure you can achieve greatness!! :) best of luck

[solesouljah808]

he dont need idol Paul is great in every way!!!! you rock Paul love your voice man we are here to continue supporting you rock on.

[tdal007]

Rock on Paul.. will be watching

[THEBIGDOC26]

Paul Mcdonald was the only reason I watched American Idol. With him gone I refuse to watch it ever again. Paul you are the man! Keep it up and do what you do. I am going to buy every album you ever put out. Youve got friends in NC buddy.

[kittycats517]

How classy was he last night? Can't wait to hear his next album. I'll just miss his performances. He should not have been voted off. He was truly the best entertainer, most unique, and so comfortable up there!! I thought voting for him 30 times might make a difference, but I guess not. (: Paul, you're awesome!

[webloco1]

You make me smile. "What doesn't break us makes us stronger." I'm sure we'll hear more from you Paul. Keep up w/ what you are. I'll say "Hi" if our pathes every cross.

[1D991]

Paul doesn't need idol. This man's going somewhere, period.

[AintAshamed116]

Paul was my favorite since audition day!!! I vote for him three times every week!!!! As soon as he got voted off I screamed at the tv!! Keep singing Paul your amazing!! God bless

[MPAngel94]

how could paul be cut????!!!!!!!

[PaulMcdonaldFan]

vote for paul

[BFarm7]

im glad america is embracing this type of singer for once. Not another kareoke singer who puts out the same poppy bland bullshit that the producers tell them to sing after winning american idol.

[mooshooduck]

have to vote non stop for 2 hours than when the 2 hours are over you go online and vote online another 50 times,if you dont do that he cant win, all it takes is 2 hours to keep paul on,,sometimes the difference from last and second to last is a few hundred votes, so you can get paul over 1000 votes lets do it.Tell everyone you know have your kids, wife ,friends and husband all vote, tell them he is your freinds son, so you are trying to help,comeon this guy winning will be special B part of it!

[DimitriMiles]

[BebeGandangHari777]

Paul's introduced a whole new generation to Manny Cuevas & the "nudie suit." Most Idol viewers don't have a clue to its history. Love the new T-shirt for sale. WINNING!

[mmarcantoni]

He's amazing and his suit is awesome. Definitely a breath of fresh air, his voice is unique and I'm looking forward to hearing a lot more music from him!! 

[mooshooduck]

[mooshooduck]

[kittycats517]

So true. He doesn't need Idol. Love everything about him. Love how he

says  "everything" He is humble, talented, unique.... I would soooooooo

go see him in concert, anywhere!! He makes me smile. Love his style!!

[flyingmama]

Paul you don't need AI, all you need is a good producer and fly high with that flower suit!

[65lalyn]

OMG you're gonna be a huge rockstar!!! you're great for AI... a breath of fresh air amidst all the screamin en the ballads... and you are so cute!! ;p

[65lalyn]

ohmy

[mohag5]

What he's trying to say is that 'My voice is loud, but my suit is louder'...haha.

[HaleyRoseLow]

LISTEN to The Grand Magnolias/Hightide Blues to hear/see PAUL'S full TALENT!

@PMcDonaldAI10 <--- Follow Paul on twitter!!! Let's get him the most followers!

[Carol9812]

I love where he talks like the little lady.. He is so humble. 

[ahkemi]

is he even a real person?

<3

[TheGracieMay7]

chords PLEASE!!! someone??? i cannot find them ANYWHERE.

[tyrty12345]

Holy shit. This song gives me goosebumps. Downloading. NOW.

[MrECALIN]

Paul Mcdonald is way too talented to be on American Idol.

[gunter099]

@MrECALIN I agree, vote him off Idol ASAP!

[12brittanynicole]

lovelovelovelovelove...and this song is an INSTANT obsession. ♥

[TriceChanelle]

AMERICAN IDOL DOESN'T FIT HIS TYPE OF VOICE. I CANT UNDERSTAND WHAT HE'S SINGING ON THEIR CUZ HIS VOICE IS LOW. HE NEEDS TOBE SING HIS OWN ORIGINAL MUSIC....HE'S BEYOND THAT SHOW AND HE WILL HAVE A RECORD DEAL...HIS GROUPS MUSIC IS DAMN GOOD...WOW...

[ephemeralillusions]

@TriceChanelle He needs the publicity.

[TriceChanelle]

@ephemeralillusions I KNOW, WHEN I SAW HIM YESTERDAY ON THE SHOW I GOT IT....LOL

[firemystic76]

i love you paul!!! your voice, your style, it's so unique, can't wait to hear and see more of you!!!

[nessasaurus88]

Paul's suit gets my vote....

oh and my heart :)

love his style and voice.

[Hisfragrantoffering]

Don't usually vote on Idol but you are soooo good just did! Can't wait to hear more...you are great!!!

[Carol9812]

paul was totally awesome tonight. Motown night!

[kaydklink]

He has my vote...

[nemoes11]

This song is not my type but there are much better songs of him on Youtube. I don't vote because I'm not American but I must say his music is the best I've heard on AI after watching the show for 9years. It would be stupid to let him go if I were a bigshot record executive. Hello, Jimmy Iovine? What AI should do is to find a decent musician who can last long with his own sound , not to find a pretty Karaoke singer who wants to sing anything lame or Country singer that nobody outsideUSlistento

[12brittanynicole]

@nemoes11 , Uh, first off, not all of the American Idol contestants are karaoke singers. They have talent, that's why they win. They sing their original songs after the show. And a lot of winners and contestants have made a name for themselves...

and second, there are many people who love country, me being one. They sing what suits them, not what YOU want to hear.

[sydneycarell]

I LOVE you PAUL <3 amazing voice!!!right when i heard you audition i was like oh shyt!hahaha

[CelticD35]

doing original stuff on idol?

[HaleyRoseLow]

@CelticD35 No sadly, he isn't his original stuff is quite amazing though, that's why I support him : )

[HaleyRoseLow]

@PMcDonaldAI10 <---------FOLLOW PAUL on twitter!!! We need to get his 35,000 followers<3

[jranow]

Paul I loooooooovvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeee your voice!!!! You are AMAZING!! Your smile lights up the whole room!! When I hear your voice I want it to go on forever and ever!!!

[jranow]

Paul I loooooooovvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeee your voice!!!! You are AMAZING!! Your smile light up the whole room!! When I hear your voice I want it to go on forever and ever!!!

[esasouthsidehyna13]

I love Paul McDonald . I became a fan as soon as I heard his voice.

[Driver4AD]

I WANT HIS JACKET

[j2tus2000]

So he didn't buy that jacket for idol?? Another great lie!!

[davidgramlingmusic]

Paul You've GOT to sing Dave Mathew's "Crash Into Me" on the American Idol Stage. That's your target audience right there, GREAT SONG/VERY WELL KNOWN, PERFECT for your voice as well as stretching and challenging your range, and you can play an intimate arrangement in YOUR style - Its pop, but close to indie. I'd be Extremely remember-able. Plus I'd LOVE to see you do it and KILL IT as a fan of your VOICE and the EMOTION, PASSION, HONESTY, SOUL, CHARM and DELIVERY you give with ever performance

[carley95xo]

your voice is the voice i've been dying to here my whole life. I LOVE YOU.

[gunter099]

@carley95xo Shoulda tuned into the cartoon channel Daffy's been doing that voice for years.

[MusikLuvrToo]

Did you guys try Amazon? I bought the Grand Magnolias CD plus the one by Tidewater Blues (the same band, just a different name). Good stuff!!

[chasindreaMs21]

his smile makes me smile :D

[NowhereCBQ]

so... McDonald looks pretty good on the competition... he,Lusk, Pia or Casey are going to win... some of the bests like Lauren or Scotty (not that im a big fan of country... but he's voice is awsome)are probably going to be the last ones to leave... but yeah... McDonald, Lusk, Toscano or Casey u_u

[18steps]

wat HE ALREADY HAS A BAND???

[MsRRubin]

Hey Paul Fans-You can still purchase Paul's Grand Magnolia's CD and Ashthon Jones CD "Introducing Ashthon Jones" on AMAZON...they aren't on Itunes anymore....Nashville fans love Paul and Ashthon!! Represent!!!

[folsommc]

I can't buy it on itunes! I went there a couple of days ago and the album was available. I went back yesterday, and it was gone! I'm so bummed!!

[MusikLuvrToo]

@folsommc You can buy the Grand Magnolias album and Tidewater Blues album on Amazon. Or the Grand Magnolias website, for that one. Tidewater Blues is the same band, diff. name.

[TheGrandMagnolias]

@MusikLuvrToo ..it's Hightide Blues btw

[MusikLuvrToo]

@TheGrandMagnolias Ooops, my bad! I knew that! ;)

[knowthyself1996]

McDonald or Lusk will win.

[dopemelody]

this dude should win (or casey if he comes back). one or the other for sure...really no competition.

[Carol9812]

where can we find lyrics?

[aprilrobwert]

i really really love your voice Paul! I hope and pray that you will win! more power to you Idol! <3<3<3

[SillyLetters]

[BAMABELLA71]

Fayetteville, TN is loving you!! :)

[jckdyl]

I love Paul. But he already has an album on iTunes. Doesnt that kinda disqualify him?? I mean it's like Lady GaGa going on American Idol. Is that fair???

[daiso1961]

paul- your voice melts me...

[queendarlyn]

he is more than awesome. he is superb

[Duhcamille]

What is wrong with you people! I think you guys don't like change or something cause he is awesome

[zakartaz]

not sure exactly wtf he did on the stage tonight, but hopefully america does get it and vote him off.

[aangelkiss3]

I love Paul`s voice.Just love it

[teribeach]

Awesome really like this song of his.I will root for him on the show!!!

[ktie28]
