Aerosmith Debuts New Song ‘Legendary Child’ on ‘American Idol’ Season Finale
Forget the final three, the ladies have spoken -- Phillip "Phillip" Phillips will be your host this evening, your prom king, quarterback and master of the boudoir. Girls upfront love this guy, cheered for him a few too many times during the night's final performance, and hell, he's why they're sitting upfront in the first place. Oh, he also sang 'We've Got Tonight' by Bob Seger.
Aerosmith's 'I Don't Want to Miss a Thing' is a song about trying to keep the Earth from being blown up. It's a manipulative song; the title/hookline definitely scans like a fake testimonial from someone paid to say how awesome it was when Bruce Willis stopped the mean old asteroid in a circa-1997 Michael Bay ad campaign. In tonight's episode of 'Idol,' the song was performed by Jessica Sanchez.
American Idol contestant Joshua Ledet showcased a good-roasted version of Etta James' 'I'd Rather Go Blind' earlier in the night like a Christmas chestnut, but is he John Lennon-good? The answer is... maybe.
For the second week in a row, a Creedence Clearwater Revival song was performed on 'American Idol.' Last week we heard Skylar Laine doing 'Fortunate Son,' this week it was Phillip Phillips with 'Have You Ever Seen the Rain?'
