特別推薦：“美國偶像”冠亞軍之“Inside your heaven” Jesus,take the wheel 也許很多歌迷還記得在2005年度“美國偶像”決賽中，“偶像”冠軍Carrie Underwood（凱莉·安德伍）和亞軍Bo Bice（波·拜斯）都分別演唱了一首“Inside your heaven”。 也是在同一年，冠亞軍又憑同一首發行單曲“Inside your heaven”雙雙擠進Billboard單曲榜前十。特別是Carrie Underwood的成績更為駭人，在發行首周轟下了天后前輩Mariah Carey（瑪麗亞·凱莉）的超級單曲“We belong together”。 同一首歌曲以不同的風格演繹，更能顯示出誰最善于表達歌曲的精髓和展示個人的魅力。“Inside your heaven”本身屬于中等偏上的流行情歌，歌曲自身沒有太多可圈點之處。不過，就兩位“偶像”的唱功而言，我個人比較偏向Bo Bice的演唱。與Carrie高亢不落的嗓音相比，Bo Bice的演繹更為深情、更顯張力。適合鄉村歌曲的Carrie Underwood在唱類似“情到深處”的情歌時只顯高昂、不見高潮，缺少爆發力。 如果說Carrie Underwood的“Inside your heaven”是小女子式的吶喊，Bo Bice則更像是成熟男人深沉的內心獨白。  “Inside your heaven”歌詞  《天堂》之見，歡迎拍轉

 “Jesus,take the wheel”是一首闡揚信仰力量的心靈樂章。一位單身母親，在白色圣誕夜獨自駕車帶著寶寶回父母家。一路上，過去一年的艱辛與煩惱猶如電影畫面一幕幕閃現于眼前。不覺間，她把車開得飛快，又因無法集中精力，汽車竟不幸失控。就在車禍即將釀成的生死之間，無助的媽媽本能地想起了耶穌基督，并從心底發出了絕望的求救:“耶穌啊，請抓住這個方向盤，幫幫我，我一個人已無法駕馭它。請再給我一次還生的機會吧，把我從災難中拯救出來……”

Jesus,take the wheel                  by Kenny Rogers

She was drivin' last friday on her way toCincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Goin' home to see her Momma and her Daddy
With her baby in a back seat
Fifty miles to go and she was runnin' low
On faith and gasoline
It'd been a long hard year

She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
She was goin' way too fast
Before she knew it she was spinnin on thin black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry
She was so scared, she threw her hands up in the air

Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
'Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
Give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel

It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder and that car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the back seat sleepin' like a rock
For the first time in a long time she bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the way
I've been livin' my life
I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight

Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
'Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
Give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel
