RevGalBlogPals Friday Five: American Idol

From songbird at the RevGals site: Yes, it's true. I've been watching Season Six of American Idol with my daughter, our first time dipping into this particular well of pop culture. In the spirit of believing you can do anything, as the auditioners so clearly do, please fill in the following five blanks.

1) If I could sing like anyone, it would be ________.
Someone like Mahalia Jackson. It would be a particular kind of spiritual gift to belt out a glorious hymn, or sing the blues, with pipes like hers. On the other hand I wouldn't refuse a voice like Shawn Colvin or Alison Krause either.

2) I would love to sing the song _________________.
His Eye is On the Sparrow

3) It would be really cool to sing at ____________.
an outdoor music festival

4) If I could sing a dream duet it would be with ___________.
Hands down: James Taylor. Or simply because his concerts rock: Bruce Springsteen.

5) If I could sing on a TV or radio show, it would be __________________.
"Austin City Limits" or "A Prairie Home Companion"

I love your choices here! Allison Krause has such a unique, sweet voice. Although, I caught her the other night on the Tonight Show singing "I Ain't Missing You At All" with John Waite. Not sure I liked that very much.
