Not a TV Watcher, BUT

I am not a television watcher - normally - but I love American Idol!  Not the early days with all the silliness, but when it gets to the final ten, I tune in and watch.  There are so many talented people out there that just need a chance to perform and then there are those that look good, but hey, they really sound horrible.

My hubby and I choose two from the top ten that we think will win, then watch and wait.  Sometimes they are our favorites and sometime, like last year, they are the ones we think the public will choose. 

Crystal has been a performer from day one.  She has consistently performed well week after week and has adapted to whatever the judges have thrown at her.  She has a strong voice and can go from high to low, looking fantastic with each performance.  I still prefer her long skirts and sandals, but she is following suggestions as she is suppose to do.  Crystal sings with feeling and joy, as if she wrote the songs herself. 

Lee has become a performer.  Still a bit shy about his popularity, he has progressed as a performer.  His insecurity is still evident after each performance as he waits for the reaction of the judges, but last night he watched the audience and was startled that they were singing along with him.  The amazement was evident in his facial expressions while he was talking with Ryan.  Lee has stuck to the costume he started with showing he is true to himself and what he is comfortable with.  Whether he wins the competition or not, Lee has established himself as an entertainer and performer and will be turning out music from now on.

Casey is not as vocally strong as Crystal and Lee and I feel he focuses more on his pretty boy image than on performing the music.  Casey is one of those I can listen to him sing, but can't watch him perform.  Not my favorite, but hey, I am not a musical genius either.

They will all be winners and I am sure someone will snatch them up and sign them to a contract before the lights go out on the last performance. Luck to all three.  You have given me much entertainment over the past few weeks.
