I agree with you about JD. The guy kept my interest all season long. Never knew exactly what he was going to do, even when he bombed he did not disappoint because he took chances. Really I don't think his performance of We Are The Champions is anywhere near one of the worst performances so far. JD was given a song sung by a guy who had a totally different voice than he had....sure it was his choice but it was a mistake...he tried.

But about this year. I feel I know what I am going to get from both Lukas and Ryan.

As for Ryan, I am sorry I think the guy is just plain medoicre. He lacks something....there is no way that he could lead a band like SuperNova. I also feel he is not dynamic enough to lead any top band.

As for Lukas, he has more of the 'it' quality than Ryan. I did say that I think Lukas and Dilana are the top two by miles. I just feel no different about Lukas changing it up than I do about Dilana. Lukas is Lukas and he really has not changed any from week to week. I can't really knock Lukas because I think he can do it.....I have not seen his performance this week but doubt it will be much different than what he has done.

The point I was making is with ALL of the contestents this year at this point I don't expect to be shocked by any of their performance...what we have seen so far is what we are going to get. Dilana is no different than Lukas, Ryan, or the others....in my opinion.
