There is so much Bo love on this board that I feel that I should say something in support of Carrie. Don’t get me wrong – I like Bo and I think he is a great entertainer and would be a deserving winner.

I also think that Carrie has more talent and potential than many appreciate. I was truly impressed with her final three performances. She has always been able to sing but she seems to have grown as a performer in that she was more expressive and in an appropriate way that reflected the meaning behind what she was singing. She also showed very good range and control.

Also, I think Carrie’s songs were much more difficult than Bo’s were. Bo was good but his “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” wasn’t comparable to Clay’s version and singing the Stones was hardly a stretch for him. The other song was beautiful but I have no clue whether he sang it close to how it should sound or not. I guess though all that matters is it was beautiful.

So I like Bo but I wouldn’t be at all disappointed if Carrie were to win next week.

Jimmer - I'm the same as far as next week's outcome - and I have never been OK with either of an AI final two winning. I always felt it would be a crime if my fave didn't win!

I have loved, loved, loved many of Bo's performances and I think Carrie has a pure and beautiful tone - a great voice that will only grow as her stage presence ripens.

Bring it on - I am looking forward to a great finale!

I think both of them will be successful, regardless of the outcome.

I like Carrie too, I enjoy Bo's performances more because I prefer rock to country. I never voted for Scott or Anthony but I liked to listen to Scott's performances more than Anthony's because I enjoy blue eyed soul more than male power ballads, not because Scott was a better singer than Anthony. This year pitted so many different styles against each other it was a real fruit salad.

If Carrie wins that's cool, she and Bo and Constantine had gigantic fan bases all year compared to the other 9, according to all the polls I saw, so this show down was what the huddled masses both wanted and expected.

I wanted Bo against Constantine or Nadia but Carrie's consistent fan support is undeniable. Lots of people are partial to country music and lots are partial to sweet pretty blondes with nice voices.

As Al Bundy would say, "Let's Rock"

Explain blue-eyed soul to me Rabbit. Is that like a watered down version or something?

Go Bo!

From Allmusic.com:

"Blue-Eyed Soul refers to soul and R&B music performed and sung by white musicians. The term first came into play during the mid-'60s, when acts like the Righteous Brothers had hits with soulful songs like "You Lost That Loving Feeling." Throughout the late '60s, blue-eyed soul thrived, as acts like the Rascals, the Box Tops, Mitch Ryder, Tony Joe White, and Roy Head had a series of hits. During the '70s, blue-eyed soul continued to be successful, as acts like Hall & Oates, Robert Palmer, Average White Band, Boz Scaggs, and David Bowie updated the formula."

(ETA - I love Michael McDonald...)

Ahh ok thanks Babyboo and Bonza. I love Michael McDonald and Hall and Oates. I also love I guess you would say 'brown eyed' soul and new country, and hip hop and rock etc.
