Ranking the guys performances...

The Best

1. Michael - Big stage presence (no thats not a fat joke), likeable guy, passable voice

The Pack (really any of these are interchangeable)

2. Lee - Pimp spot, great backround stage, current song = VOTES! Vocal was passable but clearly rough.

3. Aaron - Good voice, a little more confident on stage, good song for him to swing in the early stages but hes going to need to do something more current later. He needs to pull the Archie "awwww shucks" routine after every performance too

4. Andy Garcia - Terrible song choice, dated, but on pure professionalism and vocal chops he gets this spot

5. Casey - He was smart to use the guitar to misdirect people into not noticing just how bad his vocal was. Its going to be gross once he has to go without a guitar.

The Wish We Were Elminating More Than 2 Group

6. Alex - Nice current vocal but really just lacking all of the intangibles. Just no star power whatsoever.

7. Tim - Someone tell this kid to sing a Zac Efron or a Jonas Brothers song. These guys need a lesson in politics...play to your fan base.

8. John - Sleepy, Dopey and Bashful made me Grumpy. Not good when you can describe a performance with 4 of the 7 dwarfs.

Going Home

9. Todrick - Someone explain to me how this guy with no vocal talent has such a huge ego? And all of the other guys who have worlds better voices (Lee, Alex, Aaron) have confidence issues? Still, its stunning how he can not be the must unlikable guy this season because...

10. Jermaine - Proof theres NO GOD.

EDIT: Oh, and since this is a betting forum. Im shorting Casey James. I think he has NO CHANCE of winning this.

Two things:
Love Crystal, Hope she isn't pimped to early and then flames out.

Katie, Love that she isnt being pimped early. Definetly believe she will be around for the top 12 and start to shine. By far the best voice in the competition.

Believe its a race between these two as the winner.

I change my mind on Crystal now and I think she can win. I'm lowering my value on Michelle although I still think there is an outside possibility. If I had to pick a top 6 right now it would be.

1. Siobahn
2. Lee
3. Crystal
4. Andrew G.
5. Katie
6. Aaron or Micheal

Go rewatch his last performance...I think hes the most talented guy by alot. Your right he has no charisma, but he was 10 times better than last week.

Its not hard to be 10 times better when you were piss poor the first time. Hes not the most talented by a longshot...his vocals are decent, but he doesnt have the sort of range to hit the big notes that inevitably get the judges excited or the people to vote. Hes comes over as nervous and awkward on stage. And he doesnt really have any unique flavor to his music that makes him stand out. Both of his performances were pretty vanilla versions of the original. He pretty much played both exactly how they were recorded, but just nowhere near as good.
