So I am working in my office banging away at the computer last night while Mrs. Bubba is watching American Idol in the living room. For the most part, I'm ignoring it as I work away, that is until I hear a voice singing Whitneys "I will always love you". To myself I think, who in the world would attempt to take on this song? I mean come on, that has to be one of the toughest songs there is to get right vocally and if you try it you are going to be compared to Whitney and those comparrisons usually don't go to well.

15 seconds into the song and I was blown away, even from the other room. I had to get up and see who was singing. I watched the entire performance and all I can say is WOW!!! The singer is a tiny 16 year old high school girl by the name of Jessica Sanchez and man can she SING! At the end of her perfomance every person in the house was on their feet. Simply put, she was amazing and if you haven't seen / heard her do yourself a favor and check out this performance.

American idol? Only if you want a young, beautiful girl with more talent than anyone has a right to.

I think "I will always love you" was written and first performed by Dolly Parton.

Well done it always grabs your heartstrings.

All I can say is, BEAUTIFUL. Put tears in my eyes, I used to play a piano and sing, I know what work goes into learning to do that and this girl has a ton of natural talent to go with the work.

We watch it regularly . . . after all . . . J-Lo is one of the judges now.

So, last night about 1/2 way through the show the cable TV goes out/off/like dead. No channels work . . . Internet works, but no TV.

Darn, we missed the second half of the show. We will have to catch the songs on YouTube or elsewhere.

It must have been a local outage of the cable system or something . . . TV worked fine this morning.

To take on that song takes balls anyway, to take it on so soon after Whitneys death takes real balls. With the right management and guidance she'll go a long way and hopefully wont end up the same way.

On one of the talk shows Dolly was asked how she felt about Whitney's claim "It's my song now"...
Her response..."Sugar, it's still MY song, I own it....but for the amount of money she pays me to rent it, if she wants to call it hers, that's OK with me".

Amazing vocalist and likely the best performance idol has seen for a long time.
