mitt romney singingHave you seen the video of former Massachusetts Governor and presidential hopeful Mitt Romney trying to lead an "America the Beautiful" singalong? (Not to worry if you haven't because I've got it for you right here.) Last night, Romney broke into song at a rally in Florida and tried to get the crowd to join in. They kind of let him down and he was left trying to carry the tune alone. Not a good moment for a man with a very mediocre singing ability.

I'm not sure what Romney was thinking but perhaps he was inspired by the overwhelmingly positive reaction President Obama got when he sang a little Al Green at a fundraising event at the Apollo Theater in Harlem last week. The difference is that the President has got himself some pipes. Oh boy, has he. When he sang Green's classic "Let's Stay Together," the crowd went wild.

So, let's play a little game. We'll call it "America's Idol."

Watch these two videos and decide who's the better singer, then cast your vote (in the comments) for who you think should be America's Idol -- based on singing ability, presentation, confidence, and crowd appreciation.

Here is Contestant #1, Mr. Romney, singing "America the Beautiful":

 

And here is  Contestant #2, President Obama, singing "Let's Stay Together":

Awesomeness.

By the way, you can get a ringtone of Barack Obama singing on his campaign website. No word on whether Romney plans to do one as well.

Who do you think should win this round of America's Idol?
