I actually do like Lee, and am still hoping for a Lee/Crystal finale, but I really thought based on talent alone that Casey should have gone home before Big Mike. However, I think Casey is riding a wave because of how he looks.

BINGO!

I have liked Crystal from the start, never really warmed up to "big Mike", but I understood his appeal. He'll do fine, I'm sure he's signed somewhere already! It didn't surprise me; if he didn't get enough votes before, it was sure to happen again.

I'm right there with you on all your comments. I know if I were a teen sitting home watching and voting, I'd be all ga-ga over Casey because of his looks. So I'm sure there are plenty young girls who fit that category and are doing so.

I am 59 years old and I think I'm in love with Casey. He is so adorable. That hair makes me want to fly to where he is and.......ok, enough of that nonsense. He really is a cutie patootie though and he does have a great voice.

I was expecting Mike to go. Lee has that rocker edge that really has the fan base every season. I could hardly stand to look at Mike's wife bawling so much. Is she worried he won't get a contract or worried just because she should have been?? He will do great.

I expected Casey would survive on my votes alone--ooops.

I am going to go out on a limb and predict Casey to win and Crystal the runnerup.
Don't worry, I'm always wrong.

I'm approaching 53 and I think Casey is pretty darn cute, too! But I haven't been voting for him. Crystal will get my votes because she's the only one who I think is unique and could really be an artist as well as a star.

I wasn't surprised that Big Mike was the one to leave last night. It's been a while since I've liked one of his performances.

I can see the appeal of Casey's looks, though he isn't my taste. I'm not a fan of long hair on a guy at all, it's a total turn off for me. I have liked a lot of his performances, however I wasn't a fan of this week's. I love the song Mrs. Robinson, but didn't care for his performance.

I hope Crystal wins, with Lee as first runner-up, and Casey as second runner-up.

I'm also rooting for Crystal, she seems to always be herself, and not swayed overmuch by all the machinations and themes the show puts them through. And we know she writes songs as well, though we don't get to hear them on the show!

I am also hoping for a Lee/Crystal finale. I honestly don't mind either one of them winning.

I am GLAD Mike went home. He became so arrogant since he was saved, it made me sick! Although his daughter is friggin' adorable!

I like Casey, but I LOVE Lee and Crystal.
