Who is Bo Bice???

OK, so back last month, I got the guest list to see Bo Bice in concert on May 19th at The Chance. I thought, if nothing else, it would be a free night out for me and my GF. We both like music and concerts — we were in the first row at the Civic Center for the Goo Goo Dolls in December, and we're going to see The Police at MSG in August — so I thought it would be a fun night.

Admittedly, I didn't know who exactly he was, other than that he was a former cast-off on "American Idol" long after I'd given up on the show. (In my prime, though, I did vote for Kelly Clarkson ... she was so cute!)

So, I wasn't sure exactly which former "AI" contestant this Bo Bice guy was.

I kinda got him confused with this guy:


This is some Constantine Maroulis. He also lost on "AI," but he's not who we're seeing.

Pray as I did — and I did, hoping against hope — I knew it wasn't this girl:

That's Carrie Underwood, who actually WON on "AI" a couple seasons ago!

So, after A LOT of research on my part, it turns out THIS is the guy we're going to see in a few weeks:


So here's where I need some help from some true "AI" fans out there ...
What songs does this guy sing?
Is he any good? I mean, the guy's on tour, and he made it to the final two on the show, so he's gotta be able to sing, right?
I need a little help here...

If nothing else, I know he's GOTTA BE better than this guy, right?


(That's William Hung, btw, for anyone who didn't know. At least I know we're NOT going to see him in Poughkeepsie!)

See you at Mountain Jam!
