you are completely wrong in this
Kris Allen was the 2nd best male vocalist the whole year. He was solid right from Man in the Mirror.
Here is Casey's Heaven:

just listen to the first note. he can't even carry it. it's all shaky and bad. sure it's his style, but he's an above average singer at best.
here is kris allen's Heartless:

if you can't tell the difference between great singers and average singers, there isn't much point in talking about it.
for more reference. here is a guy i hated, David A: singing Imagine

or david cook's Always Be My Baby
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESKpxtbOKhs
my point is this, Casey is good compared to Average Joe, but compared to the very best of AI, he's average. His voice is ok, but he doesn't have the chops to win it all.
Look at all the singers that have won:
Kelly
Reuben
Fantasia
Carrie
Taylor
Jordin
David Cook
Kris Allen
he just isnt in that league. also, i just picked random songs from each person, it's not like always be my baby was his best performance. but my contention is, an average Cook performance will blow away any Casey one.
