Casey has been my favorite since day one. Niema is too ugly. The public voted her off once, and they will again. It is a beauty contest as much as talent contest. DonM

I was on the edge of my seat like a giddy school kid watching AI the past three nights. By far the most entertaining season EVER! It's a shame they can't all win.

I am pleased that I was able to pick 11 of the 13 winners and I have also picked the top three and only one differs from Donnie. Incidentaly the first girl picked is a protege of Walt Tenay's our dealer down in South Carolina who I have bought and sold several keyboards through over the years. Her name is Lauren Alaino and I think she will be a top contender even though she is only 16 years old. she is an awesome performer:) Bebop

Someone mentioned earlier about the different atmosphere in the show this year. (Yes, we do get it in the UK as well.) What amazes me is that no-one has yet attributed the difference to the demise of the obnoxious Simon Cowell. If you are one of those who miss his rude and offensive comments, don't worry - he'll be back with his US version of the UK X Factor show later in the year. We Brits are not the only ones who have to suffer!!!

This is very true. Not one word about Simon. I don't miss him.

It amuses me how Randy's role and demeanor have changed. It only goes to show me that the behind scenes maneuvering is certainly directed and planned in advance. The judges have got to hear the rehearsals and I'm sure they and the producers have their own favorites. Things DO seem to be more honest and compassionate, but again, Randy is the one who gets assigned the most negative comments. And whose seat is he in???
