Idol... one of the girls is toast JUST because of entertainment value on accounta they all have big deals coming their way and it's all about $$$. I suspect it will be Lauren because they need to keep the male vs female thing going and they don't want to lose the "non-country" singer for the same "vs" aspect of marketing the show.
Oh, yeah... that thing about the public "voting"? Hahahahahaa!

Having said such cynical things, it's wonderful to watch this young talent.

Overall, I like Haley best but that lad is awesome. I wanna watch him sing Long Black Train in the final... I can think of some more but that one just seems to suit him because of the tunes he has sung in the past. Of course, Firecracker would kick the crowd up. Did I mention I am a Josh Turner fan?
