Look at Me - American Idol

[HopeRothrock]

One of the prettiest, most heartfelt songs I have ever heard Alan perform is Look at Me.  Tonight I was watching the opening credits of American Idol with Rachel and I was sure I heard two notes of the song being sung by a contestant. I said to Rachel, "that's Alan's song".  Sure enough about halfway through the show someone sang the song.  She did a great job and had a very pretty voice (I think her name was Sonika).  Harry said she might win the whole competition.  I was just bummed they cut it off before she could sing the last line of the chorus.  And I kept waiting for someone to mention Alan as being the artist who recorded the song, but not even Keith did. Anyway, I will be rooting for this girl, she has GREAT taste in music and song choice.

Hi:  I don't watch "American Idol", but agree with you that credit should be given to the original song writer and/or singer.  It seems that Alan is always being overlooked these days.  I wish he would put out that "You can always come home" as a single.  It would get lots of radio play I think and we'd hear about him again.  He is such a talented man.
He is the KING ---------not George Strait.

Thanks for the update.

I hear people on TV speak of Alan Jackson often. Dana on Fox News loves Country Music!
Mrs Bush was at George Jones funeral. I believe I saw a photo w/Alan & Denise with her & Mrs.George Jones
Alan Jackson is played in background music on many TV Show Breaks. He has a Great Voice and People Love his Voice. I adore the above Mentioned and agree with You Totally. Alan has sang for Presidents, Been to Carenige  (sp?)Hall and has many wonderful Awards for his work. Love The Alan Jackson new CD and I still Love his Older Songs too. Such as , "Livin' On Love", "Like Red On a Rose" since one of my favorite  poets "John Boyle O'Reilly IRISH wrote;
"A White Rose - Poem by John Boyle O'Reilly"

I love Alan's older Music as well as all he puts out today. I bought his Song " Have You ever seen Rain". Great Job Alan with another Great Singer! My Ringtone on my phone is "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere". I have to make sure when I go to Church, to put another on Ha!
Alan used to be on NBC Concert Show often, The Morning Show, Loved it!. There was always a same Fan there each Year to see Him perform. Never knew his name.

Alan sang that on the soundtrack from Billy"the early years".  Also Carrie Underwood sang it and also sang a duet with
Alan.  They are on "You Tube".   I don't think Alan wrote it.   A beautiful song.
