I don't understand the hype over the guy with the dreads... like none of the people suck, IMO, but none are really spectacular... and his performance Tuesday was just... boring, IMO. He needs to sing with more "gut" I think.

I just hope that Jason makes it further and doesn't get voted off this early in the game.

Apparently there's another girl from Joplin Missouri, Asia'h, and Joplin is almost the midway point between St. Louis and Branson, we had to drive through there frequently between StL and Branson, so that's another AI who is close to home! Plus, theres ANOTHER guy from Missouri! Three people so far from live in or are from Missouri (though technically Jason's hometown is in Texas, he is currently living and working in Branson )
