That's about it.

Carrie and Bo in the finals was already predestined. All Carrie had to do to move on is show up and say hey I'm a blonde girl and pretty, vote for me and she would have advanced.

Odds this week of being voted off:
Vonzel 85%
Carrie 10%
Bo 5%

Carrie has been consistently the worst for like the past 4 weeks now. Please stop voting for her because it's not as if she is going to say...ohh wow, they voted for me, I shall reward them by being their girlfriend.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say, I think Carrie is going home this week. Vonzel is just a way better performer, and almost as good a singer. But at this point AI is a battle for runner up. Bo has just plain destroyed the competition in the last several weeks. And that acapella performance... wow... just wow. Game over.

P.S. But more likely whatever Nitemare says is what will actually happen.

Believe me, I would love to be wrong

But I'm not...

Yes, I thought his acapella last night was one of the best performances by anyone this season. It showed that he does have a great voice after all. And a lot of control with it. That video was from tonight. Seems like it was a little better last night.

Anybody have a vidcap of the performance from "last night" then? I haven't seen either.

I just saw the video linked above, and found it pretty impressive. I hadn't really been impressed by Bo thus far (though admittedly I hadn't seen all that many of his performances, or shows from this season). An impressive performance though so far. Previous to that it seemed like his voice was not very natural, and was more forced, whereas I thought that Carrie just had a natural pleasant sound to her voice, and she just sang, and didn't have to try very hard to sound good. But after seeing that, I have a lot more respect for him as a singer. Sounds like you guys that have been keeping closer tabs on this seem to think Bo will win, and after seeing that vid, I believe you just might be right. He doesn't seem to have a whole lot of range to his voice, but perhaps with the music he'll sing it won't be that necessary.

The contest has officially ended. Bo and Carrie will both be signed, no matter what.
Vonzelle will most likely be signed too but maybe with another record label.

Vonzelle > Chris Tucker with a bastard child from last season

It's not a matter of who will get signed, because most of those who make the top 12 get signed.

Carrie is the American Idol!! I hate Country, but her talent far out shines Bo's.

Really? Personally I think Bo will win. Carrie is too similar to Kelly imo

That would be me

I think Bo should win though - Carrie is lovely and has a beautiful voice, but Bo has that stage presence, and all I gotta say is: ROCK ON!

OK, disclaimer first--I've only seen snippets of American Idle. I just saw the blonde chick's final performance and it sounded awful. So why did all 3 judges heap such praise upon her?

Because it was awesome!!! You clearly have no ear for music!!

She blew Bo away with that performance.

i know i have an ear for music, Carrie is often off pitch, she was flat for like 5 seconds on a note she was holding. sometimes that's a technique, start flat and then get to the intended note, she never did on that rendition. i just never felt comfortable listening to her sing.

I agree, it made me cringe sometimes with the notes that she would hit, but it was probably just nerves or something. IMO Carrie is too stiff on stage, when she does try to move around it seems like she's forcing it (but she still is easy on the eyes) . Bo is a natural on stage and he looks like he's having fun and not some scared kid.

Her stiffness is her biggest problem. I'm sure she knows it by now, but that's something that will take time to overcome. She made some headway in that area last night. If she blew kisses and flirted more with the audience, she would have won this weeks ago.

Seacrest said there was less than 2% separating the 2 of them. Between Bo's performance, and her showing some emotion for once, I now think it's in her favor.

I think she's a great technical singer.. but for some reason she definitely hit some rough patches in those songs..
In every song she was a tad too nasal for me, her performances sounded forced/strained, like Simon said after the first song. She was pushing too much.

Her first two were okay. Her last one was very good, despite hitting a really bad note and some slightly rough spots.
It was not by any means a 'perfect vocal' randy and paula said.

Bo's gonna win on charisma/stage presence.. The only time he impressed me was on the acapella song, which was excellent.
