I can't understand why the judges, and the american public prefer Kimberly Locke over sexy Kimberly Caldwell???

I actually think Kim. C has a better voice than Kim. L as well.
Kim C's voice reminds me of Shania Twain.

Are you taking the piss or are you serious? I'd say you are in the severe minority with your opinion of Kim C. sounding like Shania Twain. Kim C. is beautiful and looks like a pop star, but Kim L. has a much better voice. It's not just a pop singer that American Idol is looking for. It's the person with the best chance of a recording career.

Kimberley Locke can lose weight and improve her looks, but Kimberly Cladwell can never be a better singer!

I'm devastated that Kim C went last week - although i like Carmen, surely it should have been her!! The vote result puzzled me - i have idea what happened there.

As for Kim L., i have no problem with what she looks like, i just preferred Kim C to her, that's all!!

i think kimberly caldwell and carmen both stayed because of their good looks,i think the best 5 singers are left .

If that's the best 5 left, then America really ARE scraping the barrel. Apart from Clay and Kimberley L, the rest are just average. Ruben can sing, but where's any personality? This season has been pretty dire. It doesn't bode well for PI2.
I just cant get excited about this lot. I was enthralled by Kelly's progress last time and upset when Tamyra went out before Nikki. Just cant drum up the same enthusiasm this time round.

Frankly. I'd bin a free cd sent to me from anyone left here!

But, that's just personal taste, I won't diss those people who could listen to these people forever!

To sum up the final five (now that i know Carmen is voted out this week):

Reuben - Simon kisses his arse, like!!!! Yes, he can sing, but only in the same style every week. In fact, Simon couldn't have put it better last week saying " ...........it's predictable Barry White, week after week". Simon does like him, so i was shocked at how brutally honest he was!
Reuben has got a good following at the moment, but i don't know how long this will last!

Trenyce - Don't rate her at all.
From my above posts you'll know how much i favored Kim. C, so i'm completely puzzled as to how Trenyce has managed to survive at least another 2 weeks longer than her!!
Some weeks she can be ok - other's she is rubbish.

Kimberly - Of the remaining two females, Kim is the one i prefer!
I have no problems with her looks as has been suggested, and yes, she does have a good voice. I can see her making it to the final two.

Clay - I'm not keen on Clay. I don't really like his singing style, his voice, or anything. he's a strange one to me. Deep down, I know Simon doesn't like him, but in recent weeks he has praised him more. Simon doesn't want him to win.

Josh - I just don't know about Josh.
I liked him in the final ten from early on. He has been quite consist most weeks (apart from the week he did Celebration)
I totally think he used the " having a cold thing" as a excuse because he was pretty terrible - probably didn't have a cold at all.
It will all depend on his performances over the next three weeks.
