I've never watched a single episode of American Idol, and I've heard very little from or about these guys, yet I really enjoyed this. Of course it's not on par with the original, but it wasn't bad.

On a similar note, I recently heard Landslide by Smashing Pumpkins for the first time, too....and I thought it was horrible. Go figure.

I agree. The first time I heard that 15 years ago I thought it was barfy. I liked the Dixie Chicks version WAY better. I actually think I like their execution of it better than the original 1975 White Album recording. I've always found that one very sterile and lifeless...

Oh, I hate the Smashing Pumpkins Landslide, it's just awful. I love the Dixie Chicks version though! Not, however, the Sheryl Crow remix of it that is also on the Home album. That sucks.

I agree with you guys. I also got a thrill from hearing Nicks and the Chicks singing it together! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kV-Kp5Qqz78

this is a fan video and it's a bit rough in places, but the crowd enthusiasm is undeniable esp around 3:15, where everyone is singing.I hope Christine takes heart in hearng everybody and knowing that after so many years (what is it like 20??) everybody still know the words.

I love the idea of muscling up "Little Lies." It shows what a really good song it is, that it stands up to such a different interpretation than the original.

I absolutely love this performance until the two male divas show up halfway through the song. Introducing them really breaks the momentum of the song, and then their short little vocals are both horrible.

I'd like to see this band perform the song without those two ... that would be great.
