特别推荐：“美国偶像”冠亚军之“Inside your heaven” Jesus,take the wheel 也许很多歌迷还记得在2005年度“美国偶像”决赛中，“偶像”冠军Carrie Underwood（凯莉·安德伍）和亚军Bo Bice（波·拜斯）都分别演唱了一首“Inside your heaven”。 也是在同一年，冠亚军又凭同一首发行单曲“Inside your heaven”双双挤进Billboard单曲榜前十。特别是Carrie Underwood的成绩更为骇人，在发行首周轰下了天后前辈Mariah Carey（玛丽亚·凯莉）的超级单曲“We belong together”。 同一首歌曲以不同的风格演绎，更能显示出谁最善于表达歌曲的精髓和展示个人的魅力。“Inside your heaven”本身属于中等偏上的流行情歌，歌曲自身没有太多可圈点之处。不过，就两位“偶像”的唱功而言，我个人比较偏向Bo Bice的演唱。与Carrie高亢不落的嗓音相比，Bo Bice的演绎更为深情、更显张力。适合乡村歌曲的Carrie Underwood在唱类似“情到深处”的情歌时只显高昂、不见高潮，缺少爆发力。 如果说Carrie Underwood的“Inside your heaven”是小女子式的呐喊，Bo Bice则更像是成熟男人深沉的内心独白。  “Inside your heaven”歌词  《天堂》之见，欢迎拍转

 “Jesus,take the wheel”是一首阐扬信仰力量的心灵乐章。一位单身母亲，在白色圣诞夜独自驾车带着宝宝回父母家。一路上，过去一年的艰辛与烦恼犹如电影画面一幕幕闪现于眼前。不觉间，她把车开得飞快，又因无法集中精力，汽车竟不幸失控。就在车祸即将酿成的生死之间，无助的妈妈本能地想起了耶稣基督，并从心底发出了绝望的求救:“耶稣啊，请抓住这个方向盘，帮帮我，我一个人已无法驾驭它。请再给我一次还生的机会吧，把我从灾难中拯救出来……”

Jesus,take the wheel                  by Kenny Rogers

She was drivin' last friday on her way toCincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Goin' home to see her Momma and her Daddy
With her baby in a back seat
Fifty miles to go and she was runnin' low
On faith and gasoline
It'd been a long hard year

She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
She was goin' way too fast
Before she knew it she was spinnin on thin black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry
She was so scared, she threw her hands up in the air

Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
'Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
Give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel

It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder and that car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the back seat sleepin' like a rock
For the first time in a long time she bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the way
I've been livin' my life
I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight

Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
'Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
Give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel
