"Anthony? He's just not that good."
I hate the Teen Idol factor that goes into every one of these shows. There's always someone who is CLEARLY less talented than the rest of the contestants *cough* Josh *cough* *cough* Red, but seem to get by more on their looks and their "Cory" factor (yeah, I'm dating myself with that comment).

I mean I have nothing against the guy. He has a great story, a good (if not consistent) voice and seems nice enough - but he is just not of the same class of the people left in the competition....and yet to my knowledge he has still not landed in the bottom three yet.

Sorry, but this guy just ain't that good. It would be a shame to see someone eliminated with actual talent rather than this potential Tiger Beat cover-boy.

That is all.

2. "RE: Anthony? He's just not that good."
I think a lot of people fell in love with Anthony during the audition phase. I have to admit, at that point he had one of the few memorable voices/stories.

BUT...

Fast forward to the top 12, and he simply cannot compete vocally. His vocal range is obviously limited, and style-wise, he's not that versatile.

You're right, he's outclassed.

And I do have to comment that Josh was way better than Anthony...no comparison there. Red, yes, Josh - no.

Josh has gotten better than Anthony, once he chose a genre and stuck with it. But he was awful at points when he was on the show.

4. "RE: Anthony? He's just not that good."
I agree that in the beginning that Anthony was very likeable and could sing very well. I think its that he needs to...

1) pick better songs
2) singer an octive higher

The reason why he is still around--the tween girls love him, and I would assume the grandma faction as well. This vote will fade in a few weeks and Anthony will be gone.

I will be power voting for Anthony.
What? He isn't that good?
Well of course he isn't, but I'm mad about Nikko, and someone has to pay.
If more people had voted for Nikko, we wouldn't have to sufer with Anthony.
Boy Band Kid gets my votes now.

Nikko's problem was that he basically totally copied the original recording and was not original at all. Nikko was the closest thing to a good karaoke singer in the group.

7. "RE: Anthony? He's just not that good."
You keep saying that, but it's really a load of crap. Nikko was the only contestant, other than maybe BO, who has any identity or originality. I can link some reviews by experts in music if you'd like, or you can just continue to parrot Simon.

I agree with the horse. Nikko doesn't sound like anything but a pale imitation of what is on the radio nowadays. Having said that, he didn't deserve to go this week.

I agree with MRC.

Anthony will hang around for two more weeks, maybe. Just like John from last season.

8. "RE: Anthony? He's just not that good."
Nikko was up and down too, but I think he was among the best singers this week. He had no legitimate shot at winning but this was not his time to go. I thought his One Hand, One Heart WAS original sounding and very well done. I've never really been a fan of his, but this week he was very, very good.

16. "Completely disagree"
Nikko is (was *sniffle*) hardly just doing imitations of the original. I think the only reason people are getting that from him is because they either don't know the songs that he's singing, they are associating the songs with the artists because the songs are almost all very recent, or they look at his 'style' (urban/hip hop) and think that he must be just like every other hip hop-infused R&B artist on the radio.

The only time Nikko remotely sounded like the artist was when he did Tevin Campbell the week before last. He has a Tevin Campbell quality to his voice (a crisp/clean sound) and the arrangement was, if I'm remembering correctly, similar to the original. But he certainly is not copying the original...not by any stretch. I know and am quite familiar with every single song he's sang (R&B is my genre of choice and I'm a huge fan of musicals) and aside from Nikko being BY FAR the most consistent of the top 12 in their top 12 performances, he's had the most variety in his song selections and his execution of said songs.

Granted I'm biased in favor of Nikko, but the reason I liked him in the first place was because of his excellent voice and the way in which he put himself into each song (personality/style). Of course you're entitled to your opinion, but I really have to strongly disagree.

I don't understand your logic. I agree that Nikko should not have went home he was orginal and had a great R&B style and voice. But do you really think that the other contestants should not win because your angry that he left? I think that there are other great contestants on the show that you would do justice to vote for, but of course it is your vote and you should do what you want. Instead of making it a negative that Nikko went home turn it into a positive for voting for someone who really deserves to win!

I personally think Anthony is better than we're seeing, for whatever reason and he will prove it once he's out on his own.
