American Idol Predictions

Just saw that Michael Johns was booted. He had some good initial performances, but at this point he's a wanna be rocker, and David Cook has got that genre tied up beautifully.

So, who's left?

Syesha Mercado - Cute girl. Great voice but more or less a Whitney wannabe. I don't think this market can use it. Particularly with the lack of female talent (who haven't had past success) She's had quite a few bottom three's and will be gone in the next two weeks.

Brooke White - She can sing decently, but not well. She's quite wholesome and humble, which seems to be her appeal. Probably top 5.

Jason Castro - Honestly, I can't tell if the dude can sing or not. He seems to perform fairly well. Sometimes. I guess nice smiles and dreads get you far with the ladies. I think his shtick will begin to get old in the next few weeks. But, please chill with the dope.

Carly Smithson - I want her to go for the simple fact that she already had a contract and her album sold like 300 copies. Her fault? No, but let someone else get mismarketed and bomb. You've had your shot. Plus Syesha can outsing her, so she doesn't have much going for her.

Kristy Lee Cook - I have to say she's actually getting better. She's also cute. As long as she keeps up her streak of strong song choice, she may have a few weeks left.

David Archuletta - Yeah he's friggin adorable. Yeah he can sing. Yeah he chooses pretty good songs. Yeah his album will sell millions, regardless of when he's booted. But I have to say - he irritates the shit out of me.

David Cook - My man. Killer voice and super original. I hope he wins.
