although i don't think constantine is a great singer on this AI, i do still like him. if you don't care for his singing, that's okay. the comments about double chins and yellow teeth shouldn't count for anything. hell, if double chins got you out,let's be honest here, how many of us would have been gone day one?! do i think he'll win? no way. but do i like him? yep. i did not find him smirking when he told his band he was leaving, and i think he's probably a great rocker. i don't expect he'll make it much farther, but let's not judge a person on looks!

Remember it is not the final 12 who go on tour.. last year Vanessa was robbed of that by being voted out at 11.. (or whatever year).. So two more will go without benefit of the tour. And I've always been anti hat.. for every AI season and back way back when Jerri was on Survivor.. Bat and I debated that hat too.. Now and then I like a hat. I like Amber's hat on TAR7.. but that is very rare for me. And I really don't mind a regular ball cap, worn in the way it was intended to be worn, not at some odd angle or backwards. I think hats, face contortions, overwrought fingerflapping and awkward body movements are detractions and to be an "idol" they should be kept to a minimum while charisma and singing abilitiy should be the main factors.

. Oddsmaker Installs Anwar as New 'Idol' Favorite (Thursday, March 10 02:55 PM) LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) After many weeks of audition episodes and three more weeks of semi-final action, "American Idol" reached its Final 12 on Wednesday (March 9) night. Antigua-based Internet sports betting site Intertops.com has set Anwar Robinson as the favorite, leading three men with the lowest odds. Anwar, a 25-year-old music teacher from New Jersey, closed Monday night's show with a bang as his version of "What a Wonderful World" had the crowd on its feet and has 5/2 odds from InterTops. Rocker Bo Bice, told by judge Simon Cowell that this is his competition to lose, is the second choice with 3/1 odds, followed by the 7/2 odds for New York City's Mario Vazquez. "If music is the food of love, then at Intertops.com we are hungry for Anwar!" ejaculates Intertops.com Chief Operations Officer Michael Maerz. "He has true idol potential in his voice, stage presence and personality. But it is the American public who will decide who they want to see on that pedestal... billboard... CD cover... TV program ..." Two weeks ago, Intertops' competitor BetWWTS.com installed Oklahoma songstress Carrie Underwood as the early favorite, but apparently some on the luster has gone off of the golden girl after a couple so-so performances. Carrie has 11/2 odds, which makes her the second pick among the "Idol" women after only Nadia Turner, who gets 9/2 odds. With the men dominating the ranks of favorites, it's little surprise that both longshots are women. Intertops can't spell "Lindsay" Cardinale's name, but the site doesn't figure it needs to, offering prohibitive 40/1 odds on the Louisiana thrush. Las Vegas wild girl Mikalah Gordon is next lowest with 30/1 odds. Round Mound of Sound Scott Savol has the worst odds among the men at 25/1. http://tv.zap2it.com/tveditorial/tve_main/1,1002,271}1|,00.html

Idol Final 12 asked their picks for the win: 'IDOLS' PICK MARIO TO WIN New York Post Online Edition (March 11, 2005 by Don Kaplan) IF you ask the people who really know — the 12 fi nalists on this year's "American Idol" — they'll tell you the winner will be . . . Mario Vasquez. Minutes after the final 12 were chosen on national TV, we asked the contestants whom — besides themselves — they thought would come out on top of this year's competition. Every year the producers say this is the best "American Idol" field yet. But at the halfway mark of this year's "Idol," it really does seem true. The voting among the 12 finalists confirms that any one of five or six singers could be the next "Idol." "If I had to pick, Mario," says Carrie Underwood, the blond finalist with a strong preference for country music. "Mario's great," says Anthony Federov. "But I really don't want to answerthat question." (Too late, Anthony.) Nadia Turner, the Miami torch singer with the smokey voice and an early favorite, also picks Mario. Who does Mario like? "I'm not gonna answer that," he says. "I think anyone here can do it." There is a three-way tie for the No. 2 spot among: * Rocker Bo Bice ("He's always consistent, even in his lesser performances," says finalist Scott Savol). * New Jersey music teacher Anwar Robinson ("He's so humble," says finalist Jessica Sierra.) * The exuberant Mikalah Gordon (who is Anwar's choice). Interestingly, Mikalah picks Nadia. And Constantine Maroulis, the Long Island rock singer whose toe-to-toe competition with fellow long-hair Bo is one of the show's most promising stories, picks — drum roll, please — Bo to be the next "American Idol."

Could someone explain to me what the deal is with Constantine's shirt? I guess I'm too old or too out of it to get the joke???!!!

Interesting article but of course they were asked, it seems, who they thought would win (if not them..) not who they thought should win..

Who were all those other people in those pix that Sadiesmom posted? (Yes, I know LaToya, but not the others! Or my brain has gone dead.) Those two articles prove why I always lose Puttergirl's AI games!! LOL.

Thanks, Bonza. I know who Justin is, but didn't watch the first season. I've never been too impressed with him when I saw him afterward. ;)

Note Kim Caldwell was there - I wonder what her "in" was, as you do not see very many of the other idol finalists from previous years there. BTW, she looks great, I did not recognize her until I read the name.

I think Kim Caldwell has a job with one of the entertainment channels as a reporter or commentator ... I happened to catch a bit of Mad TV last night (I think that's what it was ...) and there was Ryan Seacrest, Nadia, Vonzell, Bo and the other rocker ... getting another minute of fame! I imagine they were all there, but I just happened to surf by to see those I named. Those Final 12 kids must be having the time of their life!

Hooty, I hope so too.. that they can at least enjoy this process, as stressful as it undoubtedly is.

Kim Caldwell, does TV spokesperson/reporting for the TV guide channel and other entertainment channels. She is articulate, photogenic and always composed. I always felt then she would be among the few former contestants to have more than 15 minutes of fame, but not as a singer.

I saw Kim the other day and she did very well. I like her new look. I, too, thought she would find her way into some non singing media career.
