"Here's Where I Stand" Sung On American Idol

Im not sure but I love this girl! She sings Im Changing from Dreamgirls and then Here's where I Stand from Camp.Even though she is not the best singer I love a little musical theater thrown in the competition. Where was she last year for that Broadway week that was awful on Idol?

Am I mistaken, or was Lisa the one who was in The Lion King when she was younger?

Yes Lisa was in the Lion King in LA.

Was it? All the judges accused her of doing an old song. I thought she did a great job, but I only saw the second half of it. She was miles better than Paris, for whom they apparently have nothing but praise and whose song felt horribly dated and wrong (and off pitch).

Is there a soundtrack I can get for this song? Like where I can sing it?

But then it still doesn't make any sense...because if it was written specifically for the film, then it was written for a teenager.

Yes, but outside of the context of that film it sounds like a song someone much older should be singing. I was initially thrilled at her choice of song, but as the performance went on it just made her sound old. There was no reason she needed to sing such a little known song. It's almost as if she sang something horribly inappropriate age-wise, like "I'm Still Here" to use an extreme example.

I like Lisa too, but she needs to do an upbeat song and stat. She's quickly becoming boring and one-note. She looked great tonight though, and will sail through on Thursday thanks to Ayla, Melissa, and Kinnik giving weak performances.

it was also sung on Australian Idol 2, by Casey Donovan, who actually sounds okay, not great, but okay.
