American Idol "Woulda'Been" #1
Ann Wilson



I don't know about you, but I'm somewhat disappointed with this year's finalists for American Idol, especially the women. I was thinking about what singers from previous eras would have made good American Idol contestants. The first one is Ann Wilson of Heart. I had the pleasure to hear her sing live on more than one occasion. Here's a link to a video from Midnight Special in 1976, just when Heart was catching on nationally. Nobody does Crazy on you like Ann.

(By the way, when I think about "woulda beens", I have to exclude Whitney, Mariah, Celine, and Elvis. Given how badly today's contestants fair when they taken on songs by these one-name singers, the originals get instant "woulda-been status.)
