I also watched American Idol Mariah Carey is the artist. a hero If you look inside your heart You don't have to be afraid Of what you are There's an answer If you reach into your soul And the sorrow that you know Will melt away

And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you

It's a long road When you face the world alone No one reaches out a hand For you to hold You can find love If you search within yourself And the emptiness you felt Will disappear

And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you

Lord knows Dreams are hard to follow But don't let anyone Tear them away Hold on There will be tomorrow In time You'll find the way

And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you

So far he is my favorite!

Diann That's my new song running out and buying it tomorrow. How appropriate for all of us. I have tears just reading the words. Good tears I guess.

Thanks!

I know this discussion is all about the song but does anyone else feel like I do that they are going to lose alot of good singers when they have the eliminations tomorrow night? This is so weird the way they're doing it this year. Sending home 9 at a time out of 12. How fair is that? Well, Danny has my vote. Of course, he had my vote before he ever sang that song but he was so awesome and that's because he puts his heart and soul into what he sings. And you have to know he is thinking of his wife when he's singing and if that's not enough to inspire him...he's fantastic!

No problem Karen anything for a friend. I loved the song and he did a fantastic job with it. So young to be a widower. I could not find the album name or when it was released. Hugs Diann

I assume that you gals know that he was one of the top three last night. Go Danny ...

I didn't see American Idol Tues. but I did Wenesday and I am so glad Danny made it through!! I Was already having a really tough time and then they showed his friend holding the picture of him and his deceased wife and it made me remember how all of us are suffering so much. I sure hope he wins the whole thing. We all know what it is like to just hope for anything good to happen to us. Go Danny for all of us!!!

For all the Danny fans you can read more about him and his wife and what they were working on together before she died and what he continues to carry on in her name at this website - http://www.sophiasheart.org
She was a beautiful woman and reading through his blog brought tears to my eyes as I read how he's making his journey through his own grief.

Karen I love that song...had it played for my father and my husband and have it on my cell phone for when a call comes in...beautiful isnt it...
hugs

I am not as "into" Idol as I've been in past seasons, but I love that Mariah Carey song too. I believe that Danny is the stand out favorite this year.

American Idol has kind of lost a lot of viewers (as all of TV has), and the "new format" may take a bit of getting used to!

Glad to read so many on this site are fans of the show.
