"God Bless the Child" on Idol?

James clearly had the most talent with the most professional level of stage presence. The others look scared to death and are not really believeable (save for Scotty doing country). Every time I see the country crooner I think Alfred E. Newman sings country...LOL

country music is not my favorite cup of tea but i do like scotty as a perfect fit for the mold.

No doubt. Scotty has a great chance to become a future Country star...

The reality is James was a good showman, but his vocals just we not that good. Besides, his "emotional stability" issues may be charming on Idol, but won't do him any favors in a professional career. This is still and always has been Scotty's competition to loose. I got to say I love Haley more every week. Her contempt for the J-Lo and Randy is written all over her.

scotty is so sqeaky clean, he makes john boy look like eminem.
