Description
Be calm and be kind to other people - especially, yourself. Per Adua Ad Astra - that was Latin and this wee song is too... kinda. Be lucky.

Lyrics
Check it out...oooh
Check it out...oooh...

American Idol, the weak and the strong
Whatever you're after it won't be round long
American Idol,the black and the white
All do it for reasons - can't say if they're right
This time you're a winner
This time you're a star
American Idol is doing their best
To forget who they are

American Idol is taking some lip
From a man with a waistband from neck to his hip
We all have our moments
Every dog has it's day
American Idol is top of the world and the world...
Fades away

American Idol, the girls and the boys
A voice in a million but it's only noise
Why suffer in silence?
Why cut it up rough?
All the stars in your banner can they
Ever be enough?
American Idol...

Piano sounds great
Reggae bass with a sort of bossa nova beat. This really shouldn't work, but it does - spectacularly. Absolutely love that piano Johnny Boy. Great lyrics sung very well too to yet another beat. Even a bit of Shaft drifting in too. One of your best. Downloaded. Thanks.
Cheers
Lenners

Feter...
you would not qualify for American Idol on account of you being not of that descent, however you are consistently correct in your opinions and therefore...u r kool.

so Anglish
must have its roots in Latin as well, or perhaps "blue-eyed English", - all to wit, 'Merican must certainly constitute a blasphemy of sorts, albeit some Idols have built their fame & fortune in it - even Latin types have sung their own bossa style trying to use some form of it.

What am I trying to say, I don't know, but that's pretty typical for a lucky chap like me whom has never flown through adversity to the stars. Seems far-fetched in concept for this poor boy....

Peace, be well

AlI summed up in one line..
"A voice in a million but it's only noise"

Succinct, poignant and true.

In the studio...
Randy: yo dog, I don't know man, for me it was just aright you know...

Simon: Absolute rubbish. I wouldn't even call it bad karaoke. If this man lived next door to me, I'd have him shot.

Paula: Aww, he was kinda cute in that english sort of way. You guys are so mean. I like him.

Smokey: I'm with Paula...

Total
rubbish. i wouldn't feed this to my dog.
bonnieprincejohnny said 611 days ago (March 25th, 2008)
Boo-fucking-hoo.
Veterinary advice for you my friend - Do not feed your pets solely music ('good' or 'bad') or they will die. Be lucky.

Massa I sure is puhleezed u like mah choon. Like I said earlier this is the first 'demo' version recorded just after I wrote it so I'll definitely have another crack and maybe try and up the production and musical aspects. Many thanks to all who took the time to comment, yes even the folk who bombed it. Aw the best to yeez aw.

Great track
You have a unique musical vision (I mean unique in a good way by the way...) and you can pull off ideas that others would drown under the weight of. Does that make sense? Let me rephrase it - great stuff. Lovely rhythms, great lyrics and love that guitar. Nicely done. Peace.

Aye.
I made some 'less obvious' choices in the writing and arrangement here and also the singing and... I think it's through to the next round. See you in Hollywood Dajama.
