Bo has it in the bag. Carrie was awful doing "Independence Day". She looks petrified when she faces the judges. Just not a good stage presence. JMO

Where are my pants?
I didn't think either of them were on their game last night. Bo was shaky, mumblish, and flat....and Carrie was all over the place with her notes, especially the long holds---every one of them in THREE songs was sharp.


Based on last night alone, I don't think either of them earned a vote.


Overall, however, I think Bo has been more consistent. He's shown that he can handle a variety of different styles, and make them fit his voice. He shines on the Southern rock and blues material, but I was impressed with his renditions of other genres, as well.

Carrie is a country singer. Period. She sings country songs VERY well, and even jazzes them up with her own style----but every time she's tried to sing a song from another genre, it's been laughable.


Based on that, Bo got my vote last night. Can't wait to see the finale!

So who's it going to be Bo or Carrie? My pick is Carrie. Bo just looks grungy to me.


No way Bo loses today. He blew Carrie out of the water. I don't know what Paula and Randy were slobbering about last night, but Carrie wasn't that great.

She wasn't bad... but she wasn't all that and a bag of potato chips.

I thought the clincher was that Bo's song #3 was Carrie's song #1 and he demolished her with it.

Bo wins, but it's going to be close.

no no no... I'll bet ya... alot of people see through Bo's facade (even though he's got an adorable grandmother).... something about him being grungy and the Cocaine overtones he had been involved with... Karrie is more wholesome - who can't like her :shrug: She was just nervous lastnight is all. I'm sure tonight with Rascal Flats, she'll feel more at home. Also what pizzes me off is she has a country voice, WTH did AI give her pop songs to sing... that's completely out of her element and just unfair. :mad:

Go Karrie!!! :dance:

Well, I'm not an idiot, I know its a freakn' "vocal competition" but look at Rueben - and how many Barry White songs, he sung, etc... you can still have talent without having to sing ALL types of music. I mean really, can you see Bo Bice singing Roy Orbison's "Crying" like Karry did? No... his voice is too gruff... maybe its just me than, while we are at it, I hardly call his style as even "singing", I like clear voices not scratcy, gruff voices, etc... I consider clear voices to be more of a talent than the rough, please-clear-your-throat-soon, kind of voice :shrug: I see him as 100% fake, the beard he has suddenly tried to grow (stubble), etc... :shrug:

Go karrie!!! :dance:

Oh come on, every season they ALL sing different genres.


I agree, but the final show for the show down was more of bo's genere I felt... a country twang is just what it is... a country twang, it sucks trying to hear a country twang in a pop song... but she did the Angle song really well so the twang would be masked... WTG Karrie!!! Congrats on being AI 2005!!! :dance:
 
While i like Bo and his performances I think Carrie is much more of an American Idol.

I just can't wait to see Rascal Flatts tonight :yum:

:drama: Good grief!!! We agree on something... :roflmao: I agree, especially given Bo's run in with the Cocain or whatever the charge was or wasn't... Here she is, innocent country girl gone from milking cows to singing and shaking from being so shy and nervous on live tv. :clap: I just don't like the "cool, dig-me" crap Bo is shoving down our throats, the sunglasses, everything. I like people that are real and Karrie seems to be real... and more vocally blessed :shrug:

Last night might have won Bo that competition.

Both Carrie and Vonzelle gave good performances, and they each a great performance a piece, but Bo made three Slam-Dunks last night... Not to mention how original and brave that a cappella performance was, and how great it sounded.

Best show of the year so far.

oh i hope that means Bo has a good chance of winning (well i'll have to switch if you-know-who-know is found guilty
