I SO noticed Constantine MUGGING for the camera whenever it scanned them last night. LOL I watched later on tape which for some reason always sounds better since it's stereo tv and stereo vcr and I didn't think they sounded that bad since I read things here and expected them to be horrible! The one thing I disagree with is Bo sounding good on Vehicle. I thought they'd give him some kind of comments since the vocal was really bad from where I'm listening(!) and everyone raved about it. Whatever! I still think Carrie has the better voice overall, but I think Bo is going to win this sucker. I'm more excited at seeing Anthony...who by the way along with Anwar will supposedly be singing to Kenny G to (I think Anwar sang it during the comp?) "I think I Can Fly" or something along those lines. Read the stuff about the food poisoning and allergies.. oh well.... whatevah. LOL I actually threw Carrie some votes, but I know it won't matter anyway.

They both did well last night - I didn't vote because I don't really care who wins. I predict a Bo win though.

I agree with the article posted by Maris above. The difference between Carrie and Bo - both of whom are really good singers - is that when Carrie sings you might tap your foot, sing along, etc., but when Bo really gets into a song - REALLY GETS INTO A SONG - you are totally into it with him. He definitely has more charisma than Carrie. IMO that is the difference between a performer and a STAR - and hopefully Bo will be a star, given the right material and the right direction. Unfortunately, I think there are more than enough Carrie's in country music. But what do I know - I never though Josh Gracin would get as far as he has!

I have like both most of the way through the show but for some reason I was pulling for Carrie last night and still today. I just think I relate more to her type of music. Either way I think they are both talented and it'll be close whichever way it goes. Carrie has the vocals, Bo has the stage presense - Toss up for me.

On the radio this morning, they had the stations music director join the discussion of AI. While they all preferred Bo, no surprise there it is a contemporary rock station, they were hoping for his sake he would lose. They felt the title and a single of those two originals songs would be an albatross around his neck in trying to get future air play on contemporary and hard rock stations which he'll need to maintain a strong post AI career. On the plus side though, Kelly Clarkson broke some of the ice by putting out her second album that is considered a legitimate hit by industry insiders (not just another AI pull through).

I agree, Rabbit. 19 is out for the quick buck, and has all but ruined every American Idol winner, thus far, with cwappy song choices. I pray that Anthony puts out an album of standards. It's certainly working for several other performers...Rod Stewart, as just one example.

I think an album of standards worked for Rod Stewart, because he's Rod Stewart and at the end of his career. If he'd have started his career with an album of standards he'd probably be Rodney-would you like fries with that-Stewart..

LOL! I agree Kellyrippa. You can't make dorky fly unless you are cool. Bunny I think Bo can survive the winners onus and will get the chance to do so. He has the widest range of voters. Clearly he has the support of many teens, 20's and 30's audiences. He catches the attention of Baby Boomers, now pushing 60, because it is the image and sound of our youth. Some of the rockers of the 60's and 70's are still going strong and continue to aquire young fans. The country sound is big but big enough to outshine the refreshing newness of an American Idol rock star winning this? This is an unbiased opinion, of course.

'scuse me Idol, but when Frank and Dean recorded 'em they weren't standards yet! I think one of the biggest mistakes that Ruban and Clay made was in their 1st, big exposure in the real music world, Grammy Award performance, they sang a gospel song. Now if Bruce Springsteen or Bionce Knowles sang a gospel song at the Grammy's it would be awe inspiring, but the winner and runner up from that idol show do it in front of the whole industry and huh? As a wise person once said, You can't make dorky fly unless you are cool. Anthony might do better with pop music, I mean, anybody bought a John Stevens CD lately??

Hey..that John Stevens album doesn't come out until June 28th. The clips from it sound great and I'll be right in line to buy one!

When Clay and Ruben sang the gospel song at the Grammy awards , I remember them getting a standing ovation. Didn't they?
