Have you heard Crystal Bowersox?

Siobhan Magnus? Talented? You've got to be kidding. She's a one-trick pony. She can only scream out some high notes, which are meant to distract you from the fact she can't sing. She's mostly sings out of tune. Before she can be considered talented she's gonna' need lots of voice lessons.

Bowersox, on the other hand, is truly talented. She's head and shoulders above the other contestants. She's the kind of singer that appeals to lots of people, and I would buy an album she recorded. She absolutely reminds one of Joplin, Raitt and Crow.

Raks, No. Half the bar bands in America want to contact Lee DeWyze.

And Andrew Garcia has some unique potential

OK, I am a sucker for this.

Richard. I'm with you on Siohhan. Very quirky and IMHO very interesting. At the end of the day, I suspect that she'll do the most interesting stuff of the bunch

BTW, I always enjoy the show - even when the performances come up short (which is as often as not). The effort is always there. That alone makes it fun for me. Just MHO

She seems to have the most natural talent and appeal. I think she is going to win!

siobahn appeals to folks like me who are not into the artists you list (joplin, raitt, crow...). that stuff is old and tired to me and things have come a long way since those ladies. for the indie crowd and those who can see beyond the scream, she is the most artistic character left. while i'm ranting about the show, it really saddens me to see what mainstream america prefers to listen too. it also gives a window into how artists can be quickly stripped of their talent and bend for dollars.

i did love casey, or kc or whatever his name is version of jealous guy last night. he is also very talented and would be a great acoustic, alt country guy. my wife loves lee's voice.
