I've only been 1/2 watchin' but there's a lot of real fine singers this year... Problem is that there are too many balck females who are tryin' to stake out the same ground... Maybe it's just me... I don't listen to any pop/hip hop stuff so if it's done well (from my listenin' point) it's done well and I listened last night and every black woman killed the song they did... I'd hate to have to vote 'cause the women, especially the black women, seen to have it down...

I was watchin' during the trials an' this skinny white dude came out an' blew a song away... He looked like he'd come right outta "Oh< Brother, Were art Thou" and he killed the song... But then I never saw him again... Anyone know anything about him???

I love the white guy with the Gootee... Yeah, he's kinda large and his daddy was a musican who had a hit way back then... This kid has the chops... I'd like to see him in the final 4... He's good... Plus, hes a bluesman...
