I definitely think Crystal should win, but I won’t be totally surprised if she doesn’t. I like Lee and I thought he did an amazing job last week, but last night he reminded me of why I haven’t been a huge fan all season. Last night Crystal reminded me as to why I have been a fan of hers all season…she sings effortlessly. Even during Black Velvet (except when she was walking) she made it look like it was nothing to sing and sing well!
Hey Adam Vary, your Idol Fantasia only won by 2 million votes out of 65 million cast in season 3. Her victory was hardly lopsided. And the runner up was a very talented 16 year old with massive pipes named Diana DeGarmo, you a $ $ hole.
Shouldn’t Crystal have done her sucking up to Simon after her critique?
well what you to know..finally someone pointed out the one thing I thought Crystal did wrong last night..I agree completely Motown..she stepped on Simons final critique…clumsily..I don’t think she did it to suck up..I just don’t see that in Crystal..but,,she should have waited until after he judged her to make the comments..you’re right
I think most people, hating brown-nosers, would say sucking up to a judge before tens of millions of people, right before the judge gives the critique – is the most eggregious of brown-nosing offenses. And who really likes a brown-noser?
Yeah sure, Crystal rocked this one tonight. But Lee rocked last week’s show as well … so if Lee wins, he deserve it. If Crystal wins she deserve it.
It was a lopsided performance night at home as well. All season, I’ve understood the theoretical appeal of Lee – he seems to be a really gentle, lovely guy – but his vocals are just not there, and that became so readily apparent last night. At the same time, for whatever reason, Crystal chose never to grow as an artist until last night, when she shot up at least 10 feet. I felt sorry for Lee that it was such a trouncing, the look on his face said that he knew it too. But wow, go Crystal! I hope you win tonight!
You were right about Lee. He seemed like a deer stuck in headlights. Just needs more stage experience. I am sure after the tour this summer, he will be more confident on stage. The first two song choices were great choices for Lee, but he just didn’t song good on either. Never really thought he has had much of a voice. Daultry, Cook, Allen, all have stronger, soulful, and exergetic voices. Loved Crystal last night. Me And Bobby Magee, was excellent! Black Velvet was a really poor song choice from the producers. I don’t think that Simon Fuller could have picked a more over-sung song!!! But the song Crystal choose herself was completely awesome! Love it and hope to download it soon. Hope she wins, because she is unique to this show and there really is nothing like her in the music world right now. Can’t wait to see what she does!
Lee deserves to win Crystal couldn’t even come up with an answer when asked why she became a contestant!! Lee didn’t have his best night but he should win based on his consistency throughout the entire season..I hope he wins he deserves it!!
I like both Crystal and Lee and was pleased to see them both in the finals last night. I have been routing for them both all season, but I have to say Crystal won all three rounds last night. Her last song gave me chill bumps and made me cry. It was awesome. That lady is very talented but I honestly believe they both will do very well after Idol. I think they will both have the careers they want as long as they are willing to put in the work to make it. I wish them both all the best and look forward to the show tonight. I am not sure season’s to come will compare with the departure of Simon but I guess we shall see.
I think you should ask Crystal and Lee if they shall remain friends after the finale.
they actually seem to really like each other even after crystal beat him up last night..don’t you think
Why can we never have the last of the finalist to be someone who has never had a CD made in a previous life? I think they should be ‘raw’ talent.
Anything can happen tonight. David A. won all 3 rounds but Cook won with 12 millions margin (to make sure that Cook won)???? never happened in the whole AI history. If tonight one of the finalist wins with a huge margin then we know that history is repeated. But I think this time AI producer will be smarter and is not going to do something so obviously cut and dried. Somebody will win and the margin will be believable, something like 2 millions, 1.5 millions, LOL.
Why are my posts disappearing? Honestly, they are not mean or vulgar. But, poof, now you see ‘em, now you don’t.
