Star Power

Last night, 27.9 million people tuned in to the finale of American Idol. The show was extremely padded with product placements, advertisements, and corny gag videos. Luckily, the idol finalists salvaged the evening with some amazing performances, and the night ended declaring Carrie Underwood as the winner over Bo Bice (which really made no difference to the success that these two performers will have for the next couple of years).

There really was only one segment of the show that I really really loved...Carrie's duet with the lead singer of Rascal Flatts on "Bless The Broken Road". Carrie, a girl who just six months ago was living in Checotah, Oklahoma listening to Rascal Flatts in her CD player, not only sang with her idols, but blew the socks off of the entire audience. If this performance were released as a single, I would definitely buy it. Way to go, Carrie!

And that's why today's song of the day is:
Rascal Flatts & Carrie Underwood - Bless The Broken Road

You mean people actually buy singles?
