Bad move, Bucky
05:50 PM PT, May 3 2008
Un-Fortunate cover of the day? Bucky Covington followed a run-through of Elvis' "Suspicious Minds" during a set that also included his take on Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall," by trying his hand at John Fogerty's "Fortunate Son." Is it possible nobody had pointed out that the composer practically brought down the house with his definitive performance on the same stage less than 24 hours earlier? Bucky sang worthy of his status as an "American Idol" alum, but in context, even Paula would have called this one "forgettable!"

Good Move , Bucky...I have heard Bucky sing "Fortunate Son" many times and I love his rendition. How great that he could do that on the same stage as the original artist. CCR LIVES!! Did Roger Walters sing "The Wall"? Now that would be double the pleasure!!

I've also heard Bucky sing 'Fortunate Son' and I think he performs it very well along with 'Suspicious Minds' and 'The Wall'. It's imitation the sincerest form of flattery. I'm sure John Fogerty is pleased his song is being heard by music lovers all over the country even if he is not the one singing it.

Randy you are wrong, sorry! I heard first hand from a friend that Bucky was well received when he did this cover. So what if John Fogerty just did it the night before. It was a treat for people to hear it again, after all this was a musical concert showcasing different artists from all over the country. Good move Bucky!
