Siobhan Magnus
She's cute, quirky, has pipes, and may have the kind of personality and taste that will play well with the voters.
However, given the mean age of the voters and their fickle nature, anything else is possible.
Truth be told, there are no real quality prospects in this season's offering, but Siobhan may be the best of a largely mediocre field of dreamers.
Crystal Bowersox is fine, but would probably best be served playing Janis Joplin in a biopic. Her teeth are a huge distraction in HD, but she's clearly one of the more accomplished live performers.
The other ten contestants are largely forgettable, but Tim Urban must be axed really soon or I'll throw a shoe at my TV set the next time he performs.
These two-hour shows are getting increasingly difficult to watch, particularly when the talent is so weak.

I agree with your prediction because of the reasons you stated. If however, the contest was decided on pure musical talent, then Crystal Bowersox would win. Unfortunately for her she has the following problems:
ReplyDelete1. Bad teeth (although that worked out okay for Jewel)
2. A bad name. She doesn't look like a Crystal and there's nothing that can be done with the last name.
3. She's average looking.
The truth of the matter is that American Idol is largely a popularity contest so it shouldn't surprise anyone that the contest is decided on looks and appeal rather than talent. That helps explain the judging panel as well.
Ellen Degeneres as a music judge - give me a break. I could do a better job and I might even have better jokes. She is adding to the ruination of this show. Plus she has those weird laser-like blue eyes. They're creepy...
