I didn't think Coffey's song was so bad, but, I pretty much only listen to "Texas Country/Red Dirt" music. I don't think he'll win this, I think Gabe will win it hands down. My problem is with John Rich's criticism of the song. What makes his "Save A Horse/Ride A Cowboy" any more country than Coffey's song? And I like Save a Horse, just wondering where he draws the difference?

and Angel, ITA, it will be either Melissa or Gabe, and I'm really hoping it's Gabe. Totally cool three of the four are from Texas!!

I don't think I had ever heard Jewel sing. I really didn't like her voice. I like Save a Horse, it is just a fun song. John's (do I have the right name? The blond judge)music is great. I think Melissa is wonderful, hope she wins.

Oh god I forgot to add my comment about Jewel. WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW she sounded just TERRIBLE! I've been a fan of hers for a long time, I've worked with her as well on several occassions..I cannot believe how terrible she sounded, I felt like she was trying to hard.

I wish they had done original music earlier. They wowed me tonight and hit it out of the ballpark time after time(Coffey the one exception, I tuned in to late to see him). I was impressed with song writing abilities--and they all seemed much more comfortable doing their own music. Even Gabe seemed to lose that slight nervous edge and really relax. I was interested in Jewel's comment that when you write your own songs, you can write to best show off your voice (she said this in reference to Melissa's "ceation".) Please please let Melissa (first choice) or Gabe (2nd choice) win this!

I love Melissa and her song tonight was great!! She has incredible talent and since she can also write, she's good-to-go. The fact that she looks different is also a bonus, IMO. The rail thin blonde barbies are too many to count in Nashville. Gabe is my second choice, though John and Jewel are right - he HAS to loosen up. Ashlee won me over last week and I really really liked her song tonight. I think she'll get a record deal, but unless she changes her image a lot, she'll get lost in the sea of young, blonde female country music artists. The market is flooded, like I said above. Shawn is getting better, in my eyes, but I am still not a fan. At least she is different - voice and personal style. Coffey is just NOT good. How is he still there? He should have left before Ashlee, for sure! ETA: JEWEL??!! What the HECK?? That was painful.

Jewel was pretty bad wasn't she?? I looked at my husband and said they were all trying too hard to "show off" their voice. I'm not really a fan of hers but do like a couple of older songs.

On another site someone said that Jewel asked Melissa if she wrote her song and she started saying no and they quickly cut away. I didn't see it myself(wasn't watching).

I saw it and Jewel asked her if she wrote her song by herself and Melissa said no. Gabe admitted he wrote his song with some of his buddies, so I hope no one makes a big deal about it. I loved Shawn's song, such angst! Melissa's song #2 and Gabe's song #3. Gabe's song sounds like something Kenny Chesney or the likes would sing. All the songs were great (except Coffey's got old after the first few lines), but Shawn's was one I can see getting major radio play and young girls loving it.

Co-writing is common - I'm sure that's what Jewel was asking.

After a performance like that, it makes you wonder if Jewel should be judging...and kinda makes the eye roll from last week pretty much spot on.

It was during the judging after the song. Jewel asked Melissa really quickly if she wrote the song all by herself, and the camera flashed to Melissa as she shook her head as if answering "no". It was very quick. eta: it's at about the 3:45 mark in this video http://youtube.com/watch?v=3_CuVGsTKyQ

Gabe is the best. I really want him to win. Not ONCE did he make me cringe this season, unlike all the others. I would love the thank all of those who did NOT vote for Coffey this time. My ears owe you all... :-)

I finally got here; I'd been busy with my online business after watching. Tried to slip in a few votes for Gabe, but line was constantly busy...wonder if I can still do it now??? I did enjoy the show tonight; must say Gabe was my favorite, Melissa second, Shawn third, Coffey fourth.

Glad Coffey is gone. I never really bought into his country routine. Gabe amd Melissa is the deserving final two.

Nashville Star is airing later than normal in my time zone tonight. (MDT) It is at 9:00. Is that happening all over?
