"Gauntlet Thrown!!!"
It was interesting to see Baby V and Carrie battling it out last night during "Islands in the Stream". They were trying to outsing each other, just like Celine Dion and every other singer she ever performs with.

So, Now we have three, but we know Bo is staying. There has been debate over Baby V vs. Carrie. So, let the battle royal of the Idol divas begin.

I agree, Vonzell is much more talented overall then carrie, not that carrie dosen't have a good voice, I just think I would like Vonzell's album much more then the country tracks that will probably come from carrie...

umm. Carrie is hands down better than Vonzell. Always has been. That's, of course, my opinion. I will buy Carrie's CD. I will buy whatever Bo wants to sell me. I will buy Nadia's CD. I will buy Nikko's CD. Maybe probably even Scott's. Vonzell's? Not so much. She is very pretty and very likeable. If she wins, I'll think it was the wrong choice. So what? America can't always get it right. That's been proven week after week that she's still there.

If we're talking quality of voice alone, I'd go with Carrie. Oddly enough, these were my two favorite gals after the initial auditions. The only other gal I ever liked more than these two was ousted in early Hollywood (Rashida with the very gorgeous/sultry alto voice). But the 'whole package' definitely goes to Vonzell, IMO. Vonzell has a much more unique voice than Carrie and she's a zillion times better when it comes to performing and conveying the songs to the audience. What made me stop rooting for Carrie was the fact that she looks like she does not like performing (no emotion, no energy, no effort put in to learning what the songs mean). Her voice is fantastic, but that's all she has going for her.

One of these two is going home next week and I highly doubt it'll be Carrie. Let's just hope that Anthony's votes will go to Bo


Got blog?

Carrie is definately the best of them all! Vonzell is good but Carrie is better and I think Carrie and Bo will be in the top 2.

I think its about style here more than anything. Carrie is better at singing country, while Baby V is better at r & b. But the reason I root for Carrie is that I don't want to see an other r & b artist win it. Why? Because we have already had three of them, and its time to evolve past only one genre of music.

I agree with Simon when he said Carrie will sell more albums than any other idol. Country music has a huge fan base and Carrie can cross-over very easily, and I don't see Baby V getting as huge of fan base that Carrie can generate.

I give the props to baby V--she's the most improved of the lot. She has a great voice, but in the end, winner or not, Carrie is going to sell more records. Bottom line.

I didn't say that Vonzell should win. I said that Vonzell is a better performer - overall - than Carrie.

Three? I only count two (Ruben and Fantasia). I think Carrie's going to win and I think she's been a lock to win since the final 12. Once Jessica Sierra got sent home, she pretty much locked up a pretty big demographic. The fact that she's never been in the bottom three says something.

I used to like her but I've gotten bored with her in recent weeks.

Country music has a huge fan base and Carrie can cross-over very easily...cross-over into what? Silence? She is awful when she sings anything but country, and last night's mediocre version of the Dixie Chicks just proved that she is not even a solid country singer. I agree that she has a beautiful voice, but nothing to go along with it...no emotion, no stage presence, no personality.

I think that Carrie has the better voice but Vonzell is a better performer. I think they are definitely fighting it out for the next boot. Bo is definitely safe until the finals.

9. "RE: Gauntlet Thrown!!!"
So I can totally admit that Carrie is my favorite remaining contestant. I began voting for her after Nadia's untimely dismissal (how's that for random switches?).

For me though, this is the first time that I have truly liked all three remaining contestants (and I liked Anthony too). I didn't like Nikki or Justin, Ruben wasn't my cup of tea, and Jasmine was definately not someone I thought deserved her high finish. But, this year...any combo of the 3 could make the final 2 and I would be satisfied with that.

I still think it's gonna be a Bo and Carrie final 2, but you really can't help being proud of Vonzell. She came from being told she'd not last 5 weeks, to being a contender for the final 2. Only Kim Locke showed such evolution in the past.

Here's the thing though (and I like Bo bunches)...I just can't imagine why on earth that Bo would WANT to win. He's got a HUGE fanbase and he's getting a record no matter what happens. He just seems like the kind of guy who would not feel good about recording the American Idol's album. Not to mention having to release some song about rainbows and bunnies as his first single.
wow! how off-topic did i just get?
anyway, it should be an interesting show next week. I really hope they do judges' choice again this year.

I thought this was a cool poll, of course Bo's ahead by like 40%, maybe the Vonze will catch up

cjhope117--she can cross over to pop music. Shania, Garth, Faith Hill, just to name a few, did cross over to the pop charts. I think Carrie can do this. Partly because she's on idol, and partly because country is still hot.

Cambo--I agree, Kelly and Clay are more pop, but still, we need a new genre here.

I find Carrie to be superior to "the Vonze" on both fronts (performance and vocals).

That's not to say that Carrie's act is phenomenal, just that she's better than Vonzell.
Every time Vonzie gets on stage she applies an artificial "glamour pageant" smile whilst her eyes dart from right to left nervously...then she'll pause a moment, lose the smile, look around a bit more and re-boot. It's just sort of "forced".
Vocally, I think she reaches for Beyonce but ends up at...well, at Vonzell.

That said, I wouldn't spend real money on a CD form either of these game show contestants.
But then, there hasn't been one yet on which I would.
