C1!!! You leave my Corey alone! (JUST kidding!! although I loooove him! lol)

If I had to choose by voice alone, if I had never seen any of them perform, I would choose Kim Locke. I think she has a awesome voice. Her voice is true and pleasing even when she sings softly, and she has a magnificant range.
Unfortunately, she has zero charisma onstage (for me) and I still remember her early 'tude.

Clay would come in second on vocals. He's not an action packed performer, but I think he does have charisma onstage.

Carmen would be third, I happen to like yoddeling goats Seriously, when I'm in the other room listening to her voice, I kind of like it. Plus, she's as cute as a botton, and fun to watch.

Kim C. I like her voice, its unique, plus she has energy on stage.

Treynce has a powerful voice, but she needs the power to sound good, unlike Kim Locke. I don't enjoy watching her perform.

Rubin has a nice voice, but most of his appeal to me is watching him sing. He has joy.

Ricky's voice is pure, he always hits the notes, but as a rule, I don't enjoy the higher range. He doesn't do anything for me visually when he sings.

Josh's voice is not my cup of tea either, and I don't enjoy watching him perform.

Ahhh, Corey. Like I said, as a rule I don't enjoy the higher register on men, but I will let it slide for Corey. He is a star. I love to watch him sing. He has joy too. He's my boy

Time for a new list.

1. RUUUUUUuuuuben! He's the one and only AI!

2. Kimberly Locke - I didn't really like her that much at first, but I like her more and more each week. Her singing is consistent and her personality is getting more fun as she gets more confident.

3. Rickey - Okay, I know there are others that are below him on my list that actually might sing better, but Rickey just has such a great personality. I enjoy watching and listening to him.

4. Clay - Clay is like vanilla ice cream. Yeah, if someone offers it to you and you eat it you say, Mmmmmmm this is great. BUT, if someone offers you chocolate, strawberry or vanilla, well, you sure aren't going to take boring vanilla!

5. Kimberly C. - I can't believe she is this high on my list, but she can sing reasonably well, although she has no range. Her personality just grates on me.

6. Trencye - I like her on certain nights, but most of the time I can take her or leave her.

7. Joshua - ~yawn~

8. Carmen - ~gag~ Please people put me out of my misery and quit voting for her. I just know she was the one that was lowest this week, dangit!

1. Clay - That dude can Sang!!!! ( Good analogy Azriel!)

2. Ruben - He's such a cutie. A big old teddybear. He can sing to me anytime.

3. Kimberly Caldwell - She's awesome! Good singing, good stage performance!

4. Kimberly Locke - Good singer. She's cute too with a bubbly personality.

5.Joshua - really don't know why. I just like him. I loooooved, I mean looooved him singing "I dont wanna miss a thing". I guess I cant get that out of my head.

6. Trenyce - Shes good, but something about her just rubs me the wrong way. (Maybe it was her mug shot, cant get that out of my head now!)

7. Carmen - ???? Dont even know why she's there.

8. Rickey - he annoys the crap out of me.

1. Clay-Like his voice alot!

2. Carmen-I thought she really improved these past 2 weeks and plus she seems very down to earth. (and cute :))

3. Kim C-I really like her "screaming" voice :) and she has lots of energy on stage.

4. Kim L- I didnt like her at the beginning but couldnt help scream "WTF?!?!" when she was in the bottom 3.

5.Trenyce-She's ok but just doesnt do it for me

6.Ruben-I am sorry but i wont be joining the "Ruben Fan Club" anytime soon. I dont like his performances and IMO he looks a bit smug sometimes. Besides his fans in the live audience always annoy the h*ll out of me! :)

7.Joshua-He just doesnt have it...his voice was horrible tuesday.

8.Rickey-He has one of the most annoying voices ever when he speaks and his singing voice isnt anything better. plus that afro he wore was just obnoxious.

Time for a change.

1 Kim Locke, she has grown each week and I just love her voice, she also show versatality.

2. Clay: Probably the best voice but a little show tuney.

3. Rueben: Good voice, great charisma,

4. Josh: pretty good voice for a country singer. Great personality.

5. Carmen: Great stage presence, good voice that has potential.

6. Trenyce: I think she has a better voice than Carmen or Josh but I just wish she would sing without trying to imitate people. A Diva wannabe.

Okay...here's mine:

1. Ruben - I LOVE this guy even more than I loved Justin Guarini last year -- and that is saying A LOT. He is the reason I watch this show as I find the rest of the performers rather lackluster.

2. Clay/Kim L. - I guess I have to pick both of them for second because although they're both technically very good, they're no fun to watch. Clay just reminds me of showtunes and I think Kim L. would make a great studio singer, but she needs to work on her performances a little, IMO.

3. Carmen - I really don't understand all the heat this girl is getting. She sounds fine, better than Nikki from last year. I do like a deeper voice on a female singer, and like that she doesn't "belt." (I generally dislike belting.) She could definitely work on losing the yodel and vibrato though.

4. Trenyce - I loved when she did "Let's Stay Together." Since then it's been downhill unfortunately. Seems to get PO'd at herself too easily after a bad performance. Needs to relax a little.

5. Joshua - Sounds okay, but this isn't a Garth Brooks soundalike contest. Also I can't stand to watch his mouth when he sings. Ugh.

Oh, by the way, I'd like to see Clay do some Barry Manilow. I think he would pull it off very well.

Time for my update...

1. Ruben - My favorite from the beginning. I love his voice and his personality. If he can't win, then see my #2.

2. Kimberly - She was my favorite along with Ruben going into the top 12. She disappointed me at first, but keeps getting better. I wouldn't mind one bit if she won the whole thing.

3/4. Clay/Trenyce - I like them equally. They both have great voices, but I don't enjoy them every performance like I do Ruben.

5. Carmen - I never really warmed up to her. Wasn't all that crazy about her getting in the top 12 (I had other favorites in mind). I guess I just don't like her style, but she's not the worst in the group...I'll leave that to my #6.

6. Joshua - He should have been gone a long time ago. I'm still bitter they kept him over Ricky. Hopefully his time has come to an end.

1. Clay. I think his voice is beautiful and love his control.

2. Ruben. His voice is smooth and he seems to enjoy performing.

2. Kimberly L. She's really been improving and she and Ruben are so close that they are tied.

3. Trenyce. She probably won't make it this far but other than some pitch problems and diva-isms has some singing chops.

4. Josh. He's got a big fan base and can pull some songs off rather competently.

4. Carmen. I'm not a fan of the tremolo. She is young and cute and appeals to a teenage market. She would be a positive role model.

1. Clay - consistently good. Love to listen to him sing.
2. Kimberly L - she is really getting stronger. Nice voice.
3. Reuben - Smooth voice.
4. Josh - good country western voice.
5. Carmen - cute and could be good in time.
6. Trenyce - did not turn out as good as I thought she would.

*Wondering how anyone could even put Trenyce and Clay on the same plane. Sorry, Essence-but...oh my....apples and oranges.*

Bandit, I'm not equating them on talent...just on how they appeal to me. IMHO they are nothing like each other, they each have their own style and I couldn't decide which one I liked better so I rated them equally.

If I were being totally honest, I'd buy a Trenyce CD before I would Clay, but that's just because I'm not relating to his style of singing. Don't get me wrong, he's an exceptional singer...just not my type. I happen to think she has a good singing voice also, just lacking in other areas...

Bandit

I completely agree-she has a wonderful singing voice (most of the time) and sooooooo lacking in soooooooo many other areas.

Essence, your justification, for lack of a better word, was right on, I think; if you're not equating them on talent. There's no doubt in my mind that Trenyce is a talented girl, but yet she tries to be something she is not, and that irritates me. Just my opinion.

1. Kimberly
2. Ruben
3. Trenyce/Josh/Clay


I would be happy with either Kimberly or Ruben winning. I think Trenyce and Clay have great voices but I dont see any emotion from them and they just dont seem to have any depth at all. I think Clay is a great lounge act and has a Broadway caliber voice but I just dont see any acting ability in him. Trenyce has a great voice but unoriginal. She just parrots whoever did the song before. Josh just doesnt measure up in my book. I am not that into country music so that is probably why he doesnt impress me.
