AHHHHH!!
My favorite Paris Bennett performance!
I love the heavy swanky saxophone in the
beginning; it just set the tone for what was
coming up.
And Paris stepped out in her Banana Dress
with a flower in her hair and was 'it.'
Looking at the other performances that night,
this is one of the few that stood out.
And, like most other nights, it was one of
the more memorable performances.
Apparently the American idol contract keeps a
griplock on the contestants, controlling what
they sing and what kind of album they
produce.
For example, Nikki McKibbin was told she was
going to sing 'Country Music' rather than go
the 'Rock' route she wanted. The creative
'indifferences' led to no CD; and her debut
album just recently came out (in May).
Ryan Starr didn't like where she was being
pushed, so she decided to wait out her
contractual obligations so she could do the
kind of music she wanted (hence, she is just
NOW finishing her Rock album, and just NOW
peddling her reality show).
So it's either you do what they tell ya, or
you don't do anything for the next 5 years.
Hopefully Paris' Debut album was just some
sort of Idol Fluke; maybe her next album will
include stuff like this.
It's something new.
And Lord knows we need more of that in this
world.
