Kirk Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Seems like it would be more than 8; I'm probably including other singing shows in my mental tally... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also thought the number was low, but it's probably for just the reason you cited. Add in "America's Got Talent" and its other versions from around the world, along with the "X-Factors" and whatnot. No doubt "All By Myself" has been sung dozens and dozens of times on TV talent competitions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I wonder... if the tabulator credited every "ABM" cover on Idol as Eric's song. There were multiple times where a contestant would sing it and call it Celine Dion's song. Just a thought.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Actually, I checked. No dice. Here are the follow-up pages to what Bernie posted.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LobsterLvr Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Glad to see they attributed the song to Eric, and not Celine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
