My pick to win it all is Joshua Ledet. But, the voting public will probably prove me wrong. Here is a clip of Joshua.

I think he is the best by far, followed by that young Filipina-Mexican girl.

Yes Mike, Jessica Sanchez has a beautiful voice, and should be in the finals.

Theresa Galbraith · Post by **Theresa Galbraith** » 8 Mar 2012 4:46 am

Jessica Sanchez all the way!

I also like the young country girl when she doesn't over sing.

Jessica reminds me of Jennifer Hudson, who is my favorite singer ever from the show.

i'm tired of the style of music which overall doesn't grab me.

Chris, why did you bother posting that?

For guys I like that punk rocker lookin' guys voice.
For girls voices I like the tall girl whose Dad is a former pitcher, Shannon

For some reason I can't seem to watch "Singing with the Wannabe's" or "Dancing with the Has Beens" for longer than 30 seconds since they first hit the airwaves. I've tried...Lord knows I've tried. $:\$

Mike, I'm with you!

Some people post to argue

My gripes of the show is the hollywood format..And the three Judges.Then it becomes a popularity contest and Talent gets lost...3 Judges,If they were true experts it would be better..The Hollywood format, They sell the show as "Americam Idol" then have the group thing that takes the individual aback, having to blend in to the level with those that have no chance...Thus some good vocals never get to be heard in their own element..Some who were real good did not survive..as in years past..But through it all some real good artist have emerged to be successful..The other thing I can't see making a Country singer have to do Stevie wonder..I guess they are not looking for the next Merle Haggard..

Hey Joe,
I personally like hearing them all sing different genres of music. I agree, alot of talent has come out of the show & I personally miss Simon!

Joe, first and foremost, it's all about the show making barrels of money. Everything else is secondary. Nothing wrong with that, it's been the business plan for America from the get-go, but, a few shining examples aside, it has little to do with discovering talent.

They had a Pedal Steel player on last night show.

Theresa Galbraith · Post by **Theresa Galbraith** » 9 Mar 2012 1:09 pm

Pete,
I think it's cool how the show has always had steel guitar backing the artist.

I didn't even audition this year. Too much drama!

David Mason · Post by **David Mason** » 10 Mar 2012 12:37 pm

That Jessica just rang my bell with her "Prayer." That's not fake. My TV's been in the closet for years, you'll have to keep me posted. I gave up on "Idol" way before that, it was the "Queen" week that did it. On contestant got to sing "Bohemian Rhapsody" (hard) one got to sing "We Will Rock You" (meh) one "got" to sing "We Are the Champions" (yak) and the others had to make do with "Fat-Bottom Girls Make the Rocking World Go Round" and so forth. And then the judges ALL bitched them out for not trying, this is the big time, you'll never win singing that apathetically, lazy losers etc. Queen... Half of Ryan Seacrest's job is to make hemorrhoid faces to let you know that somebody sympathizes with you for "having" to watch all the crap.... did I mention, my TV's been in the clos....

I hope they do Queen night again!
That sounded entertaining, David.

The most entertaining part of the series is at the beginning when they show a lot of the poor no talent folks who show up to try out. The rest of it seems to be who can out scream the others, and pile on the commercials.

The judges are totally wrong about Jessica Sanchez tonight!!!!!!

Larry Miller · Post by **Larry Miller** » 14 Mar 2012 5:49 pm

Joshua Ledet just knocked it out of the park...

Theresa Galbraith · Post by **Theresa Galbraith** » 14 Mar 2012 5:52 pm

I'm not connecting with Josuha. I don't get it???

Donna Dodd · Post by **Donna Dodd** » 15 Mar 2012 6:21 pm

Theresa - we usually think a lot alike, so I'm not sure why you're not connecting with Joshua.

I was blown away at his rendition of When a Man Loves a Woman!!!!! I also like Phillip's unique voice and stage presence.

Looks like China is calling in a lot of votes..Its no longer a Talent show it's a popularity contest..
