American Idol

[Daisy and Delilah]

I'm still in awe over Lee's performance of Hallelujah(sp?). It's a song that tears me up every time and he did a fantastic job.
Was anyone as moved by this as I was?

Lee has improved by leaps and bounds. He was amazing tonight.
I voted for Crystal because I'm afraid Casey is going to slide into the finals because of all the girls who think he should win just because he's a very handsome fellow. Crystal and Lee outdid Casey by a huge margin tonight! He really doesn't deserve to be in the finals.

It's going to be really tough for me to pick a winner between Crystal and Lee. I've loved Crystal from the beginning but also liked Lee and I am thrilled by how he has improved. Ellen was right in saying he was like a gentle little lamb when he started but is now like a strong and confident impala or something! He's found a new confidence that is wonderful to see.

I've been a big Crystal fan but tonight was Lee's night and I thought he performed better. Hopefully it'll be Crystal and Lee in the finals.

I think Lee has been a favorite of the judges based on what they've said about him, and that's why they gave him "Hallelujah," which is a song that I love basically no matter who sings it, as opposed to Crystal's assigned piece, which was good but not as popular on its own.

I'm still rooting for Crystal, as she seems to have more confidence all along, and knows who she is as an artist, which I am not sure Lee does.

This is what I thought. I don't think I can pick a true favorite after last night. Both will be hugely successful no matter what.

I must be odd one out. LOL

i dont watch American Idol. generally i cant stand how most people are treated on the show. so avoid watching it except very very rarely now an than.

Casey seemed to expect his ouster, though his final performance was a little odd with him carrying around that little girl who is apparently of no connection to him, just a token "daughter." I wonder if the producers suggested it and cleared it with the girl's parents ... she looked a little confused.

[FabulouslyFierce]

I love love love Crystal and I'm kinda hoping she DOESN'T win, so she's not stuck in an Idol contract. I think she will be wildly successful if she goes off and makes her own album.

I do really like Lee and I think he has gotten better and better as his confidence grows. I think winning would be a good thing for him because he needs some direction as an artist.

I thought that was his niece. I could be wrong.

And I don't care who wins either. These two have been my favorites for a long time.

I'm rooting for Lee all the way tonight. There is something about his voice that I really love, he reminds me so much of David Cook who won two years ago. If Crystal does win, I hope she cleans herself up. Go Lee....

[Karen]

If Crystal does win, I hope she cleans herself up.

What do you mean by that? Do you just not like her dreadlocks?

[carole]

yes i am somewhat puzzled by your remarks regarding Crystal too, i think she looks lovely, and the dreadlocks suit her so well, to me she never looks untidy or unkempt, but that is purely my opinion.

We have not seen the final performances yet, tonight , get this we are having three hours of Idol, even a tad too much for me, would have been better spreading it out a bit more, still looking forward to it, so until then my opinion is reserved, but for now i am still pulling for Lee, but if Crystal wins i will still be just as happy.

Lee Wins

I have always thought her smile needed some work meaning her teeth. Everytime she opened her mouth, it looked terrible. She also looks a little dirty to me, sorry but you asked and I am not the only one who feels this way.

I had read a dentist wrote to her and said he would fix her gaps at no cost but she turned it down. I think she better think twice about that. She does have a great voice but as I said, she better clean up her act.

To me her teeth look clean, but like she grew up without the attentions of an orthodontist, and probably dentist. There are several teeth that need to be shifted and aligned. Maybe now this is over, she'll think about getting it taken care of, especially now that, if you're in "show biz" or even just someone who is embarrassed by it, you can get "invisible" braces that work just fine.

Many people think dreadlocks look "dirty," but it's just a way of styling one's hair, and they get washed as often as anyone else's hair.
