Carrie is ok... but man alive, whenever I hear Bo sing it brings goose bumps to my skin & tears to my eyes. This was amazing... I loved it. I loved what Simon had to say. On the money all the way. Bo sounded like a seasoned professional.
I love heartfelt rendition. Bo was given the Jim Croce Award by Jim's wife and gave him a copy of the original record. Jim's son and Bo are now good friends and have collaborated doing music together.
I love his vibrato and the soul in his voice! he has the type of voice you don't hear anymore and if that kind of voice is still around they don't use it correctly and tent to become mainstream and stray away from their roots.
@@indiglo1971 This song is such a beautiful song and Bo sang it very well. However, whenever I hear it, I do think of that Muppet Show skit using this song.
I like Bo - voted for him and wanted him to win I think he covers this well and does it justice. Danger Danger also did a nice version - probably my favorite!!
@dunkus, well I guess you and the ones that think Bo didn't do justice to the song can kiss your musical critic careers goodbye! Jim Croce's family awarded Bice the "Jim Croce 20th Annual Music Award" because the Croce family had been greatly moved by Bice's performance of Croce's song "Time in a Bottle" while he was a contestant on American Idol.
i'm not a fan of bo's voice, but i really like this performance. i saw he sang this, and i was like, no. no, he cannot ruin that song. and thank god, he did not. i actually really liked it.
I don't see how he messed it up. Like Bo, I know this song inside and out, and his improve timing matched so well with the construction of the music, you'd think it was originally written that way. Kudos to Bo, I rememeber watching this performance as it aired back then.
I've played this song for 30 years , have studied everything Croce did... and NO ONE, EVER, will be able to nail that song, EVER ,like Jim Croce. I can emulate his other songs, but PLEASE leave Time and a Bottle alone! You'll just butcher it ! Does anybody have the tracks from "She Lives" The movie this song came from?where there is a different version from Croce...there is also a track w just the guitars!!. ANYONE have it??? Bo...not even close.
