Not sure. Anthony is at the top of my list, but Mikalah (weirdly enough) intriegues me. Though I don't think she has enough honest confidance to succeed. Lindsey Cardinale is someone I'd like to see go places, though not necessarily through this show....ditto for Constantine.

mikalah, constantine, mario, anwar and carrie underwood. if they make it, i'll be hard pressed to vote for only one at this point, but the individual song choices will win out, i'm sure. i can't wait to see miklalah's song choice - her voice is so unique, and it will be interesting to see her influences.

Constantine is H-O-T! Voice and looks and Charisma... W-O-W ...

I have yet to hear evidence that Constantine has a voice of any caliber. Can't wait until the actual performances start. We shall see.

the more i think about it, the more i think that Constantine is a shill - a plant put in there by executives, only there to advertise for Keanu Reeves' new movie.

most of the major people i hated already got the boot... i need to form a new crop of people to hate.

Oklahoma represent! This household is pulling for Carrie Underwood.

Yes, Robyn, WE KNOW. :)

I haven't yet had someone jump out at me (last season I was rooting for Fantasia from -basically- the beginning. ) I've been impressed with that Scott fellow, but we'll have to see what he can do. NO FAVORITES yet at this point. I do have a few "ho-hum" people in there, though.

Just in case there was any room for doubt, ya' know... ;-p

I like Carrie Underwood - her innocence and sweetness is refreshing and I actually like country music (ducks incoming objects).

Posted by: Jeannine at February 17, 2005 03:22 PM

anthony fedorov all the way, he has the purest voice i've ever heard. And he's just such a sweetheart. i don't think he's like clay aiken at all, clay was kinda nerdy but anthony is hot, he has such a cute face

Hm...Carrie...She's a bit too naive for me. I'm really not sure what to make of her.

I'd like to see one of the rocker boys make it further by at least an episode. Show that they're truly looking for originality.

I said last night though that I'd like to see it end up between Anthony and either Lindsey or Mikalah. Carrie doesn't have the strength of personality to make it to the top two. She's too little-girlish. I tend to like that, but I'm not sure America* will.

*America is deemed to be the myriad of teens and twenty-somethings who think they can sing better than the winners.

Right now, I like Anthony, Mikalah, Lindsey, and Nadia. I'm leaning toward Carrie and Mario too, but I haven't heard enough of either of them to be sure.

But I'm holding out for the first round to decide.

Posted by: Tanya at February 17, 2005 09:45 PM

Carrie Underwood can sing! Little girl, big voice...I like her a lot. Like Kat, I confess Mikalah intrigues me, but I can't decide if I want to root for her or smack her into next week.

Posted by: Victor at February 18, 2005 09:49 AM

I can't stand Anthony or Constantine. I started off neutral on them, but they've pushed Anthony's miracle story a bit too much, and while yeah, it's amazing that he has such a nice voice after all that, it's still just a nice voice. There's a lot better talent than that this year. Constantine is just plain annoying, though, mostly in his voice but also his personality a bit.

I'm pulling for Mikalah, Bo Bice, Vonzell, and Scott Savol.

I am rooting for Amanda Avila. She has a great voice, is modest, completly honest and completly gorgeous. Amanda Avila has the whole *Star* package.
