To me, Crystal is the MOST talented, an incredible 'natural'. But somehow, she just doesn't quite fit the "Idol Image". (like Adam Lambert last season) I was told once when the show first started, that the producers have the right to change the final outcome....it is in the small print. Lee would probably fill that role nicely...and I do like him also.

Remember that Adam Lambert was not the winner last season. Chris Allen did, and you hear nothing from him.

yes we are watching the show

Overall, I'm so disappointed with this season. I didn't feel that any of the contestants grew much at all. Yes, this is the fast track to fame and it's such a sharp learning curve to one who is truly "green" but I just didn't see that this time.

Yes, Crystal can sing and she's probably the most talented of the three in what she can do with a song. Lee is just not ready for the onslaught that follows to sustain himself, based on my perception of him thus far. Casey, as each week goes along, I had high hopes, but he seems to be a musician that sings, rather that a singer that plays.

They all have talent and strengths but after seeing every season, who wins, who goes on, who unfairly lost, etc., I just don't know that this group can pull off what the other successful contestants have.

I'm tired of four judges. Too many. I'm tired of their unfocused, confusing blabberings that make no sense. Simon checked out before the season started since he's leaving. I was never a huge fan of Kara's but this season, she just needs to go-----and take her need for being the constant center of attention with her. Oh, and don't leave behind the foolishness she played out with Casey. That ruckus still hasn't died down.

I want Crystal to win; but Lee has really worked hard to get into the top 3. Will be interesting to see the final results. Broke my heart to see big Mike leave.

Casey--I can't figure out why he's still there. Mrs. Robison was painful to listen to. I have never liked one song he sang. I've never been impressed with Lee either. Now Crystal blows me away! I'd buy a CD by her for sure.

I thought Big Mike was way more talented than Casey or Lee.

I miss quite a bit--so maybe one of those guys has sung something decent and I didn't hear?

Karla,
I'm with you. I don't like Lee or Casey's singing, and I'm not real fond of either of their looks. I would buy Crystal right now and can't wait until she produces a CD.

I loved Big Mike and would like to have seen Lee or Casey leave before him.

I think because my husband sings so beautifully--I've never heard another male singer I'd rather listen to. I only listen to female singers in the van--the only place I ever listen to music. :wink:

Nope, stopped watching after Adam Lambert (who was by far the better singer and performer) lose to Chris Allen. The show is no longer about finding the best singer/performer.

It's BYE BYE Casey tonight, I'm sure! :)
