I too was very disappointed to see Tres Bien go, especially before LOD. I guess I should have voted for them, but I don't have time to vote for 2 hours and I just throw a few votes to Clark Bros in every week.

My rankings:

1. Clark Brothers -- even with only 3 of them, they give me chills with each of their performances. Fantastic!!

2. DMHO -- I can't believe I ranked them this high, but this was their week.

3. Sixwire -- They are really good, but are not standouts to me like Clark Bros & Tres Bien.

4. LOD -- Singer's vocal lessons are paying off and the musicians have talent, but I am not into preteen heavy metal bands.

5. Dot Dot Dot -- They were a little better this week, but they do nothing for me. Poser band with weak lead singer.

At this point it's only the Clark Bros I want to see win this thing. I would love them to get a record deal and come out with something in the style they have been doing on this show --an infusion of their Christian/Bluegrass/whatever into a more mainstream genre. Any and all of their performances on this show in their full version would be great on an album. I'd buy it.

The massy trunks are cased in the pure crystal; each light spray,
nodding & tinkling in the breath of heaven, is studded with its
trembling water drops that glimmer with an amethystine light.
