On American Idol’s elimination show, Carrie Underwood and this week’s mentor Randy Travis proved with their performance of ‘I Told You So’ that sometimes, a DJ mash up can make something amazing. Jesse Tack, an evening radio DJ for WUBE in Cincinnati, orchestrated the mash up of Carrie’s cover of the Randy Travis classic. The duet form of the song was received with great critical acclaim and inspired the two signers to actually head into the studio to record an official version. They performed the duet live for the first time on the show. I wonder if the radio DJ got any credit for thinking it up in the first place.
