I must have listened to that song, "It's a Man's World" last night at least six times over and over again.  I would buy anything he wants to put out there.  I knew Holly would go home this last week; she's just not even close to the talent of the other three.

Jessica blew me away with the Dream Girls song she sang.  I had sort of written her off too till I heard that version.  Definitely going to be interesting to see who will be the last two standing.  I say Phil and Joshua.  Just a hunch.

I don't get why people like Phil at all.  Every song sounds the same.  His voice always sounds strained, like he's at the edge of his range. 

 

I hope Joshua wins.  I think he can sell records with the right people working with him.

[Keith Rowan II]

If he wins, he'll be another Taylor Hicks.  Guy has little chance of selling records.  I am rooting for Phil over the other two, but I'd put Josh last.

Okay.  If Joshua Ledet doesn't win this competition, there is something seriously wrong!!!  This guy is way, way, way more talented than anyone there. 

Keith, I know you don't like his type of music but you just cannot deny this kind of talent.  I so hope he wins.  He deserves it.  Go Joshua!!

I have always been into the blues/soul type music.  That's actually my favorite type of music.  I sort of feel bad that I dismissed Joshua so early on because most of the black guys that sing on AI just aren't all that great; they all sound the same.  He, by far, is leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else I think.  Of course, you have to like that type of music.  When he sang "A Change Is Going To Come" by Sam Cook, I watched that over and over and over again.  I've saved it too.

Hollie is my favorite, by far.  I was very relieved she didn't go home.  If she doesn't win, I really don't care, but I don't like Jessica or Joshua very much.  Not my style of music.  Especially Josh.  Way too much soul for me.  I don't enjoy most of his songs.  Go Hollie!

[Janet]

 

I liked Colton too.  I liked Skylar, but I didn't think she would or should win.  I think Hollie has grown much more than Jessica has.  Jessica is hit or miss with her songs. 

[Lynnette Copenhaver]

i agree.  Phil does sound the same, but i did not like his second song.  I don't think his vocals sounded good at all.

I was disappointed to see Colton go.  Hopefully he gets a contract because I do think he can sing.

I loved Hollie this week.  She's making the best progress, but I'm afraid she's the next to go since she's always been on the bottom also.  I hope not.  As far as Jessica, I still think the judge's like her the best.  It appeared the judges sighed a sign of relief when she wasn't the bottom two.  As Simon Cowell used to say, her first song sounded karaoke to me.  I did not like it at all.

If this is about pure talent and not the "cuteness" factor, Joshua should win!

Now I'm afraid maybe Phil will win just because all the girls think he's nice looking and Joshua will get overlooked.  I sure hope not.  Hope America gets it right this time.

He's grown on me too, Kelli.  I do think he has the most talent of all of them (Joshua).
