I agree, I think she is the next Jennifer Hudson. She is incredible vocally and last night because she was fighting off tears, her voice cracked, otherwise I thought she was incredible. The year Jennifer Hudson was on was the same year as Latoya London and I thought she was great. I quit watching after she was voted off, but I can't say the same for this year. I am rooting for Casey, Paul and the black dude...sorry, can't remember his name. He seems really genuine and I think Casey is a musical genius but maybe Idol isn't the right venue for him. Paul is also musically pure and his smile and stage presence is absolutely infectious. I think the gal from Georgia is way too young and this fame will destroy her.
