But seeing the Idols live made some of the results of the competition even more perplexing than it was at the time.
Several of the Idols still fell prey to the lure of the high, hard one: the top-of-your-range, top-of-your-lungs note that you need to hit to make an impression on the judges and TV viewers who make the decisions.
Ace Young followed by dueting with Mandisa on "I Am Your Angel" before taking over for "Father Figure" and a version of Maroon5's "Harder To Breathe" with more guitar punch than the original. His voice was high and somewhat thin, but powerful, and he did the best job of the night of avoiding the high hard one syndrome.Ummm - uhhhhhh --- :blush: :rofl:
