I'm a Melanie fan, too. And Josh has grown on me every week. I'd pay to see him in concert. Rachel's cute and talented but no $5 million star right now.

I think I prefer the Idol setup with judging to this one. They don't give honest appraisals because they're rooting for their own people. Then they get vindictive when someone criticizes their singers and take it out on the other judge's singer. They're really acting like children, pretty much all of them.

I'm glad Astro's gone. I don't think it was a good type of contest for him. Rappers are bad boys, and no one wants a kid to act like a bad boy. I thought his music suffered when he got repentent about his little hissy fit the first week he was in the bottom 2.

I love Drew's voice, but she came off as way too one-dimensional. Reminded me of a young Haley on the recent idol. Same type of voice, same lack of range.

I love the adult rapper's story and attitude, but he's not one of my favorites.
