Another classic performance from the best rocker (and arguably the best stage performer) Idol has seen so far. Bo Bice began season 4 under the radar as the camera spent most of the time focusing on the other rocker Constantine Maroulis. When he got to the top 24 though, he quickly gained ground with one awesome performance after another, turning himself immediately into one of the frontrunners. He faltered a bit in the middle of the season then proceeded to blaze his way forward again. During top three week, there was no question who deserved to make it to the finale. His renditions of 'Don't let the sun go down on me' and 'I can't get no satisfaction' were fantastic, but it was his a capella version of 'In a dream' by Badlands that made brought him legend status.
There's a slight bit of a snag in his last note, but his gutsiness at attempting to sing a capella in the penultimate round of Idol (something no one had ever done before or since, at least for an entire song), combined with the raw emotion and power in his voice made this performance one to remember.

Bo was/IS amazing! Thanks for blogging about this.
Great Bo Bice moment. Your description 'legend status' so appropriately. Even this past season on Idol, comparisons were made such as "there hasn't been an "In a Dream" Bo Bice moment yet, and "We're still waiting to hear one of the contestants pull a Bo Bice." This performance of Bo's is the one that mad so many fans upset on why he did not win Season 4. After this it seemed a shoo-in. Not taking anything away from Underwood, she's a wonderful singer; but Idol is a competition and that song alone nailed it for Bo. Always great to find another Bo Bice fan.

Whoops, 2 typos, should have been appropriate, not appropriately, and 'made so many fans upset..'. Where's my coffee???
;)

And that is only 10% of Bo as his bandmates said that we have seen. There are more fantastic performances on tour where Bo showed he's the real thing. Check these out on youtube. Lots more.

Sorry but I still think you can find many Bo's in bars throughout Alabama.
Oh you mean singers sing a capella in Alabama bars? Wow!! That is something.
And so what? That means Alabama is full of talent. Did you know that Alabama has produced some of the greatest singers? Of course you do not know because you are not from Alabama. You're just dissing Bo because you're a fan of... let's see... Constantine? or Carrie? Liar!
