This is the holding spot for a blog entry later today about Melinda Doolittle’s appearance at Kroger at 3559 Chamblee-Tucker Road right outside I-285 from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. doling out Edy’s ice cream. I hope some folks do show up. It might be a bit uncomfortable with me and her just sitting there.
Anyway, here’s food for thought:
Daughtry did covers of covers a couple years ago but got flak for not giving credit at the time. (e.g. Live’s version of Johnny Cash’s “I Walk the Line.”).
Now David Cook is doing the same thing— taking covers of covers. But he is making sure Ryan Seacrest gives the arrangers credit. Does that make it better? And are the judges too dense to realize he is doing a cover of a cover and then call him “brave” and “original”? Sure, his takes on “Hello” and “Billie Jean” were great but should he get any bonus points for “originality”?
