What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBo Bice, the American Idol runner-up to Carrie Underwood, has posted a dramatic before-and-after photo, Fox News reports, and the fans have notes.

  2. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorGood for him. He's been away from new music since about twenty twenty-four, and the caption says, "Who's THAT guy?!"

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThis is a family emergency, Chip. The graphic reads, "A brand new man, resurrected twenty twenty-seven." That's a full relaunch with a date on it.

  4. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI mean, I'm fine. Not invested. Mildly curious. Is the resurrection a tour or a single?

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA single, teased but not out yet. In press terms, he's launched the look ahead of the product, which is bold sequencing.

  6. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe comments are the detail for me. One person said ditch the necklaces and button up the shirt.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWardrobe feedback from the congregation. I'd call that a highly engaged resurrection audience.

  8. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHe wrote that it's "new life, new style, but the same southern soul." So the soul stays and the necklaces go?

  9. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOur resurrection rating desk has a number for this, and it is high. A man rose again, and the first review was about his collar.
