Leighton Meester's song not as good as the originals

Her version of "WOrds I Couldn't Stay" was not as good as Rascal Flatts original version, especially toward the ending where Rascal FLatts had a nice high soaring voice in the vocals while Leighton's stayed the same pitch. Also Sara Evans's performance of A Little Bit Stronger is a LOT better.

HOwever Leighton is a good actress and I think she does okay with the accent though its faked. Anyone else remember her as the young innocent girl in "24"?
