    Unfortunately, the producers of AI are caught between a rock and a hard place. As sad as it may seem, they have to get people who are marketable. As great of a singer as Mandesa is, I highly doubt she'll make it, why? She's not your cookie cutter star out there with six pack abs and a rock hard booty. I pray that I'm wrong, but society in general will buy a semi-talented singer's CD if they're "cute" over someone less attractive who is much more talented, a la Brittney Spears. (in my opinion, of course)

    Me too

    I like Chris too; Kevin is just too cute - I could pinch his cheeks too, but I don't think he'll go far - too bad. Elliot has a good voice, but he really does need to do something about those teeth.

    I'm enjoying the show. This is the first time I have ever watched from the beginning. I would usually just catch it towards the end to see who won. I like quite a few right now and I'm not good at names. I really like Taylor, Chris, Ace and Elliot on the boys side and over on the girls side I like Katharine, Paris, Mandisa and ohhh, there is more but I don't know their names..lol.

    For Girls... I like Mandisa's voice, but I'm hoping Paris might make it a little further than her. teehee. Lisa's good too.

    For Guys... I don't think there's a great selection this year. But if I had to pick one it would probably be Chris Daughtry.

    Brenna definitely needs to go.

    and that Taylor guy is nothing special, if you ask me.

    .sarah, I have that pic as my avatar on a Taylor fan forum where I mod.

    Here's another pic of Taylor with dark hair

    Obviously I like Taylor, but I also like Bucky and Kevin is adorable. So far no one has really stood out for me like Bo did last year, but then for me there will never be another Bo. (Seen him in concert 4 times already, I love Bo!)

    Maybe so, but remember - everyone said the same thing about Ruben Studdard... I believe Simon commented about that at his very first audition, but that didn't stop him from going all the way! Clay Aiken too, on the opposite end of the spectrum. I think that you're very right in what you said above, but I do think there are some exceptions. I'm hoping Mandisa's one of them.

    Let's talk about the best vocalists here, and only about vocals.

    The best singers are: Mandisa, Chris D., Taylor, Elliot.

    Close behind are: Paris, Sway, Gedeon.

    Better than I thought were: Ace, Ayla.

    In the general pack are the rest, with the exception of:

    Kevin, Bucky and Stevie whose vocals are just not good enough, they need to go.


    Now, let's talk about 'show' or 'it factor' :

    Paris, Gedeon, Chris D., Taylor, Ayla

    The only ones that are at the top of the vocals and 'it' are Chris D. and Taylor

    That's where my guess is now for winner.


    If you eliminate the cute factor then:
    Kevin, Kellie, Ace, (the one who looks like Peter Brady) is it Will?
    they all must go. (but not right now)

    I think I'm in for some surprises here, as many of you really like Kevin.
    And as far as Brenna is concerned, she is not as bad of a singer as many, but she has some bad attitude. No 'show'.
    Mandisa could fly under the radar and really take this thing, her vocals are so strong. If she could just get the personality happening.

    Can anyone wager on the next set to go???????

    I don't doubt for one minute that Ruben Studdard can sing. I'm a huge fan of his and voted many times for him. Gladys Knight said it best when she said he's a velvet teddy bear. But, his CD sales have stunk! Why? Fantasia, Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood have all done great.

    Back to the vocals. To get voted off next week I would think from the girls are Brenna (wishful thinking probably) and Heather Scott. From the guys, Will and David.

    I think his CD sales have suffered because he was never interested in doing mainstream pop music that his label could pimp. Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood do. Ruben's album, from what I've heard, is quite soul-ish and more ethnic sounding.

    I really don't think any of the girls are that special........ IMHO....

    But of the guys, (My two favorites) Chris and Kevin are the best! Chris has an AWSOME voice, and Kevin is just so cute!!

    Chris is freaking amazing! He did that song way better than the original group!

    I like Elliot a lot too, and he would totally get my vote if Chris weren't there. But I don't think anyone in that competition (girls included) can compare to Chris!
