In my opinion none of the above turn me on like Stand Walker. Stan the Man Won Oz Idol 2009:

Man's audition

Stan Walker audition - YouTube
(4:22)

My favourite from Oz Idol 2009.

Hallelujah (Stand Walker)
Stan Walker - Hallelujah - Top 5 - YouTube

Above, Stan Walker's rendition is short, deep and from the heart. It means more if you know what happened to King David from the Bible.

cece23 posted that he heard "Eye of the Tiger" twice in one day. That reminded me of THIS:

Eye of the Tiger (top 3 semi final of Oz Idol 2009)

Stan Walker - Eye Of The Tiger - Top 3 - YouTube

(2:10) Wow! Look at Stan-the-Man's entrance (!!!)

This guy makes Amazing Grace his own.

(10:39)

At the 2:12 point he makes this powerful song his own.

The original was composed by a Slave-Ship Captain, who had a mighty Awakening and refused to transport slaves ever again after he composed the song Amazing Grace

Lazaro sings "We are the Champions

Lazaro Arbos - We Are the Champions - Studio Version - American Idol 2013 - Top 7 - YouTube

Lazaro is my favourite out of tonight 7.

No one has uploaded the full program, yet. When they do I will link it.

Ooops

The above YouTube has the lyrics of "We Are The Champions" in the "show more"

Here is Lazaro performing it at American Idol

Lazaro Arbos Performs "We Are The Champions": The Top 7 Perform - AMERICAN IDOL SEASON 12 - YouTube

Lyrics:

I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand
Kicked in my face
But I've come through

And we mean to go on and on and on and on

We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it
I thank you all

But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before
the human race
And I ain't gonna lose

And we mean to go on and on and on and on

We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World

We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World

Yippeee

Lazaro was just revealed as in the top thrreeeee (!!!).

From what that guy said I was depressed cos he said Lazaro should be CUT (???).

But America liked him too.

Here is Lazaro s audition:

Lazaro Arbos "Bridge Over Troubled Water" - Idol Audition - Season 12 - 2013 - YouTube

Wow

Sync Sync Sync Sync right near the under of this YouTube, A Judge shouts "Ricky Martin ! Ricky Martin !!!" Check it out at the (4:48) point.

It is 1pm here and I am having some lunch. I turn the TV on and surf the channels to watch something while I eat and I caught the tail-end of my favourite contender, Lazaro, on the Idol repeat and heard Lazaro Arbus being judged.

Wow!

The name "Ricky Martin" meant nothing to me at the time when I originally saw it, but a day later I saw that "The Voice" was starting today so I opened this thread:

4/109 views in 18 hours since I opened this thread, Wow:
