Why doesn't the audience like her? She's fine in my opinion, but I never felt strongly enough about her to actually vote. She doesn't generate enough interest. Some times she's sung really well, but she's never blown me away or a week when she was great, someone else was spectacular.

I'm a blond chick and even I had a hard time keeping her, Deanna & Jessica straight. It doesn't help that they would change their looks from week to week. So, with three similar chicks the "hot for a blond chick" vote got split. Jessica got the cute girl vote. Deanna got the sultry, low voice vote. Suzie doesn't play super sexy (like Jessica & Deanna have) but hse also didn't go the other way like Jordis and eschew selling sex. She seems to still be searching for her look/style/stage persona.

Look at JD & Marty (and MiG to a lesser extent.) Week to week, they present a consistent image - you know who they are by looking at them. Easy to identify and identify with.

I do like Suzie, but I'm answering why I think people don't vote for her.
