Has IDOLBEAT Gone Country?

I had sent Drew Poppelreiter a friend request and he sent a personal message back. Sweet guy!

He has put up a myspace music page, which has made me change my mind about his voice.
I let him know that his audition didn't do his voice justice! Maybe it was the George Strait song - I am not a whole-hearted traditional country fan.

I love Phil Stacey; he is proclaiming to be country but I consider him more pop/country than out and out country. I maintain Phil has the best vocal range out of all the guys from last season. Go Phil! Drew has the looks and the voice to be a country ballad singer! I think he needs to sing about the girl who broke his heart or who wants to be his next girlfriend! He has 5 songs up; check out "Field's of Tupelo", "Be the Miracle" and "Take my Breath Away." Any of them could be played on a country station right now. But mark my words, if he sings to the young girls, country will have a lot of converts!

First it was Phil, then the Clark Brothers and now, Drew! Luckily for me, they all sing a different kind of country! Gosh, I forgot! I did vote for Marie on DWTS - maybe that makes me just "A Little Bit Country!"

Here is his myspace music site: www.myspace.com/drewpoppelreitersmusic

What do you think?

Nashville, are you listening?
