Barrys

Last night, Barry Gibb (of BeeGee fame) was on American Idol. It was decidedly tough for the contestants to figure out what to do with his songs. It's not every day you get to hear a male recording artist tell a woman who is singing his song, "no, it goes higher in the chorus. It shouldn't be so low." The 4 left didn't do a great job, but it was a tough assignment.

The top idea of the night though, goes to Shannon. As Barry was telling LaKisha to go higher, she realized that the perfect twist would be to sing a Barry Gibb song in the style of Barry White. Or imagine Barry Gibb and Barry White singing a duet. Or Barry Gibb taking a Barry White song and singing it twice as fast, two octaves higher. Or really, anything that puts Gibb and White in the same room at the same time. The possibilities are nearly endless.
