I thought Vonzell performed the best of the three females.
But if you compare Vonzell to Carrie, I thought Carrie was
singing exactly like Pat Benatar more than Vonzell was singing
like Deniece Williams... and Vonzell seems to gain a personality, where Carrie does not.

OMG Rosie, nobody sings like my Pat Benatar, but I agree the style is reminiscent.... and agreed with everything else you said.

First of all I am a big Carrie fan...

I do agree with you, I was never impressed with Vonzell just like you said she sounds like she is straining herself...

As far as for last night's performance when she started crying...As for my opinion that is just to get more votes in...

I missed all the performances last night, but it seems to me that Vonzell has been improving over the course of the competition, as has Anthony.

Those kinds of contestants are fun for me to watch. Carrie started huge, but has stayed the same while the others passed her by.

I'm not particularly attached to any of them this year, but if I had to choose one, it would be Bo. He's been consistent, and he has a terrific rapport with the audience. He has the most entertainment value and IT factor of all the contestants.

(Bo simply must take a lesson from Joyce (TAR) and brave the scissors at a salon, though.)

Everyone is entitled to my opinion.

When they showed his audition video, I thought his hair looked much better then. Less split ends, less stringy looking. Maybe is the water in Hollywood or something, but I agree - that long hair needs trimming and cleaning up. Lanky = good as in "tall and lanky"; lanky = bad when in reference to hair.

I actually think vonzell is probably the best entertainer of them all, she sings and is very charasmatic....she's the only one left I want to see win, carrie is too country, bo is to rock and anthony....lets just leave it at that

I do have this fear that V may be the underdog that could take it all, depending on how the final shows go.

I'm personally rooting for Bo for a couple reasons.

1 - I just like the guy, like his performing, like his style, etc
2 - I think it would do the "AI Machine" a lot more good to get someone fresh like Bo, as opposed to another Beyonce/R&B wannabe like Vonzell. I'm not bashing her skills, which she obviously has.

Carrie, V and Bo all will get deals - no question - but after the dismal sales of Ruben and Fantasia, they do desparately need another Kelly, or dare I say someone who could outsell Kelly, and all these factors point to Bo.

I am rooting for Vonzell. I for one actually think she is a great singer.

The thing is, geekboy, that this is a society dominated by a particular group of people (wont say who) that prefer a certain type of entertainer, based on the style of music and yes by the way they look. Fantasia and Reuben were deserved winners, and Vonzell would be, also. What you mean is, America needs another white girl, talented or not, to win so that the 70% of the US population can buy her albums.

I think what he ment was that we need someone with the personality, talent and appeal that kelly clarkson has....which vonzell has and why I hope she wins! She will most likely have the highest album sales because of her style compared to carrie (country) and bo (rock, I like the whole 3, but vonzell tops them imo.

Oh, I'd love to see your statistics saying that 70% of the American population would only buy CDs from white artists.

Those kind of sweeping generalizations are walking a slippery slope on these forums. First of all, since there is NO WAY you can back up such baseless claims and second of all, since those old, tired discussions have been played out over and over here. And if our demographics and prior postings are any indication, it's completely false.

And as a moderator, I strongly advise you to be careful of accusing other posters of having biases when you have no evidence whatsoever of backing it up. That poster did not say one word to deserve that implication you made. We're quite serious about how posters treat each other on this forum, so don't make baseless accusations on their motivations.

yea u r the only one. she has the best voice. she shouldnt have went home

Nah, he's not the only one. Lots of Baby V fans around here. I'm HUGE Bo fan, but I wouldn't have been totally disappointed to see V win, or Carrie either for that matter.

no you definetely are not the only one that isn't that impressed with Vonzell. she has a really great range, but she's too whiny. i think she's really immature and that effects her singing, and it makes her tone whiny. she deserved to be where she was, but she's nothing compared to bo and carrie.
