American Idol 8 Top 7 Lil Rounds “The Rose”
Lil Rounds sang “The Rose” and I really was surprised that she picked the song. She began the performance with an arrangement that is similar to the original but then she finished the song with more of a gospel feel to it.
Paula said something that I really didn’t understand. Simon said that the song was too soft, too middle of the road and that there were nice moments but she is not the artist that they met weeks ago.

The Rose is one of my favorite songs of all tim. She absolutely butchered it. She should go home tonight.
