Contestant Auditions For 'American Idol' By Singing 'Live Wire'
I'm pretty sure Motley Crue has never had to clear a song for the first TV audition rounds of American Idol before last night.
Enter 15 year old Casey Bishop, a cute girl from Florida who claims no performance experience. Bishop affirmed a love of rock music and then said she'd be singing "Live Wire" by Motley Crue for her audition. You could almost see the judges panel collectively cringe. Then Bishop started singing and it was amazing. The completely reworked version of "Live Wire" proves that great songs are timeless and can easily be adapted by equally inventive artists.
Have a watch:
Casey wows the judges with a performance of "Live Wire" by @MotleyCrue & "My Funny Valentine" by Sarah Vaughan!
