(I do not however believe Jacob will win, due to his 'gospel' quality to his voice, but going by TALENT alone, I believe he has the best voice out there this year.')

I loved Adam Lambert on Idol, but I have not been a fan of his since he left the show. I think I will like James even after Idol. They are similar in many ways, but there is something about the emotion in James that gets to me when he sings. Adam definitely has emotion, but I am not sure how much of that is from his acting career before idol. Like someone else said, for the new group a lot of that will come with experience.

I am angry and sad about Pia leaving!! Ridiculous!

[RONLYNN]

Pia did sing great and lacked some stage presence but it has NOTHING to do with that!!! Once you get to the top 13 it's all based on calling and people who live on the edges don't vote....it's been proven every year. People in the South call. The winner will probably be from the South....happens every year!!!

Stefano, Haley, Jacob, Casey will all go in the next weeks.
James is iffy because although he is from CA (a state that doesn't vote - he has a disability so that crosses all states so he will probably stay a little longer).
In the end it will probably be Lauren, Scotty & Paul purely based on where they live - high calling states.

I agree with you Ronda, the South does usually vote!! I did love Pia but I think also that if she wasn't quite as beautiful people would have liked her more!! Very beautiful women that are shy come across as aloof and stuck up, that's just what people usually think. So, if Pia was more girl-next-door like Carrie Underwood maybe she would still be on the show!! Just my 2 cents worth!! Believe me that's all it's worth!!

I don't think it is possible for anyone to predict a winner this year! They are all so very talented. I would be crushed if Jacob won because I truly do not like his style. I think he waaaaayyyy over does it. As far as the sound and quality of his voice goes Scott has it hands down, but I don't like country. Casey has the cute factor and you know you will be entertained by him. Haily growls too much but her voice is great. Stefano can sound incredible but he isn't consistent and doesn't have a good stage presence. I never have liked screaming singers so James is out for me. I didn't like Adam either. Paul is, as I said before, a Johnny one note. I was sorry to hear about his throat problems and hope he doesn't overdue it. By the way, does anyone remember what happende to Julie Andrews? Scary. Did I leave anyone out?

[Lou]

Oh yeah, Lauren - bland!

[MauiGirl]

Now that Pia is gone, I truly don't have a favorite. I'm also not a country fan, nor a wild rock fan, and for me right now it is just boring. They could draw straws to pick the winner at this point, it wouldn't matter.

They all do have talent though, and everybody this season has recording potential, so more time on AI will give them more exposure.

As somebody already previously mentioned, Pia was already getting offers for contracts. It appears as if she already signed and will start working on an album ASAP!

I LOVE AI but I have to say I thought Pia would end up getting voted off, I liked her but I just dont think " kids" could relate to her, she was a GREAT singer but I just dont see kids listening to Ballots, and IMO she was NOT good trying to sing ROCK, I think if she would have been able to Move Like Brittany, Gwen Stefanni, or Jennifer, girls & boys would have related to her more, Kids, teens and alot of others dont like Celine Dion type music , if she moved , danced, and related to a " younger" audience I think she would have won.
I also dont really have a favorite this year!

[alaskayorkie]

I think Pia's gonna have a great career. She wasn't my favorite, but I thought her exit was a week or three premature.

[Sookie]

Pia had a great voice but wasn't interesting to watch IMO.
