Over The Rainbow

written by:  Arlen-Harburg

played by:  The Gimme Gimmies

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

So I was thinking to myself how I feel about Katharine Mcphee losing American Idol...

I was upset Katharine didn't win becuase guys aren't very emotional. It was like watching Reuben win. Uneventful. At least Taylor tried with that whole retarded "soul patrol" crap. I'm happy for Katharine becuase she's too good for American Idol, and her career is going to go places so far and beyond Taylor's becuase she has POTENTIAL, and Taylor's already peaked. He'll fade away like Reuben unless he can be as appealing in the studio as he is on stage.

Katharine will just grow and get better for many years to come. She's been losing her voice for the past month, but she still sounds FANTASTIC. Her second performance of Over The Rainbow never fails to make me cry, and I watch it a million times a day. Taylor, though unique, is just a flash in the pan. Katharine is one in a million...influenced by many but utterly incomparable. With the voice of an angel and her natural, unmanufactured beauty, she'll become a legend, and all of America will hang their heads in shame at their joke of an American Idol.

Feel like having a good cry?:  http://www.americanidol.com/finale/videos/?vid=408  (Her second performance of Over The Rainbow)
