Idol Stalker - Watching American Idol

“No Boundaries” Any Better With Kara DioGuardi Singing It?

Posted: 31 Aug 2009 12:19 AM PDT

So let's just get this out of the way – I think "No Boundaries" could be the worst song an American Idol winner has had to record as their first single. It was co-written by Kara DioGuardi and, while I like a lot of the songs she has written, I'm just not feeling this one. It's cheesy and pageanty in my opinion but I know that some people really like the song so I'm so sorry if I've offended you!

Anyway, a recording of Kara singing the song has popped up on YouTube and I think it speaks volumes about how insecure she is about criticism. Her very memorable showdown with Bikini Girl last season was the first sign and now it just seems like she's determined to prove that this song really is good. I almost think it's insulting to have this floating around since it almost feels like there's a suggestion that Kris Allen didn't do a good enough job. Maybe I'm just being overly sensitive but that's what I got from it.

Either way, if you haven't heard it, check it out and tell me what you think. I think that Kara definitely has a great voice and it does give the song a slightly different feel. While I do think it might be a little better than Kris' version, it's only by a marginal amount – I still don't like this song.
