This week is your last chance to vote in CU Independent’s “End of the Decade” series. The fate of the final five movies, live music performances, TV shows and albums is in your hands. Today, vote to see if one of the Michael Jackson’s last performances can best a performance from fan-favorite, Boulder-based band. On Wednesday, find out if “South Park” still remains the king of controversial cartoons or if “The Sopranos” will prove its the better show. Finally, whose album will you choose to fill the last two spaces in our Top Ten on Thursday?
Today’s choices for Live Music Tuesday are…
Clay Aiken’s performance of “Bridge Over Troubled Water” (2003): During season two of “American Idol,” one of the best performances came from runner-up Clay Aiken, whose rendition of Simon and Garfunkel’s hit won him the hearts of America even though he didn’t receive the “Idol” crown.
