I will have to say Kristy


Chikeze will be the first guy to leave

I'm guessing Chikeze Eze.

I can't see Amanda lasting very long unless she starts showing some versatility. She's good at what she does but surely she won't be able to do it every week?

Here's how I think they will finish (from top to bottom)

Jason Castro
David A
Brooke White
Carly Smithson
Micheal Lee Johns
David Cook
Ramiele Malubay
Syesha Mercado
David Hernandez
Amanda Overmyer
Chikezie Eze
Kristy Lee Cook

I hope Amanda. Think it might be Chikezie or Jason or Kristy.

I hope David A, though I can't see it happening. I have to say though that as from next week, I am going to have to start watching the show on an empty stomach because he is starting to make me want to puke.

My 1-12 Prediction:


1. David Archuleta :yawn:
2. Carly Smithson
3. David Cook
4. Brooke White
5. Ramiele Malubay
6. Syesha Mercado
7. Jason Castro
8. Kristy-Lee Cook
9. Michael Johns (I think he'll be a surprising early exit)
10. Amanda Ovemyer
11. David Hernandez
12. Chikezie Eze

i think kristy will go first.

I agree.. with your prediction

Easy Chicken Man, Syesha Mercado, and Kristy Lee Cook seem to be the weak points.

Kristy Lee might stay if she starts dressing sluttier.

Amanda MIGHT go if she tosses out another stinker and picks another song that doesn't suit her.

Chikeze, if he has just an ok middle of the pack performance then i think he will defantley go as he seems to have the smallest fanbase, if Kristy sticks with the country stuff then she will probobly stay another week or two, America loves country and she's the only one in that genre

Its beatles week this week i believe so should be intresting, i would imagine they will be plenty of trainwreck performances.

i love david cook, jason castro, brooke white. the rest are o.k but David A pisses me off for some reason even though he is good. i hope they are the top four ( david A is definitely going to make to top 4)

Total Votes: 514

Being a bit (too) scientific about this, 10 of the top 12 coincidentally (or not!) go together into matched male/female pairs (by genre, not by talent!)

Cute Disney-friendly teens (David A & Ramiele)
Hippy-dippies (Jason & Brooke)
Camera-friendly corporate rockers (Carly & Michael)
"Outsider" rockers (David C & Amanda)
Soul singers (Chikezie & Syesha)

Funnily enough, I had the remainders (Kristy-Lee & David H) down on my list to go last week after Kady & Luke, who were also "genre-less" (or "still-finding-their-feet" if you prefer.) All of which is why I think they're going to go first, vaguely followed by one of each of the pairs, leading to my predicted first-to-last exit list...

1. Kristy-Lee
2. David H
3. Chikezie
4. Amanda
5. Syesha
6. David C
7. Michael
8. Ramiele
9. Carly (the traditional "shock" 4th place exit)
10. Jason
11. Brooke
12. David A
(and though I'm not a fan, I refuse to believe anyone other than David A will win...)

I think Amanda will do well, Simon said she was the best of the girls last week

Chikezie and Kristy will definitely be the first 2 out unless they perform brilliantly on Tuesday.

um i think i'll go with Syesha

Amanda. Can't stand her.

Kirsty I think. I nearly fell asleep during last week's performance.

I am gonna buck the trend and say that I like Kristy. However this may have something to do with the fact that it was heartbreaking to see her age about 5 years during the results show....
I am hoping she will stay around long enough to sing some country and get a bit more confidence.

You all have excellent taste. Hope the American audience are as clued up as you lot!

What do you reckon?

Syesha or Amanda are the two who interest me least, but I think Chikezie or Kristy may go before them.

Written without prejudice.

In view of the contestants genres and how crowded it is and assuming they perform well.

BOYS

SOUL TYPES

David A

Appeal to most people if he sticks to songs of his own age. They will make sure he has the right song

David H

Appeal to the Latino vote. Mark Anthony/ Ricky Martin/ R&B singers

Chikeze

R & B crowd, Luther Vandross/ Donny Heatherway,

Michael

Appeal to mature types and those who like the Otis Redding/Bono vibe

Who might go. My money is on David H or Chikezie. Why? There are too many singers in this genre.The voters will argue that they have hard it all before. Not unique enough

ROCK TYPE

David. Cook

Appeal to the rock crowd who likes a raw edge. Unique. Different from Daughtrey )

Will be safe.

FOLK TYPE

Jason Castro

Appeal to crowds who like lay back music. Unique. Like Bob Dylan and Pat Buckley)

Will be safe

GIRLS

SOUL TYPES

Ramelle

Strong voice can sing Celine/Whitney/Christina/ Mariah. Heard it all before. Is she unique? not sure.

Carly

Versatile singer, can sing all of the above and more.

Syesha

Lovely voice should be singing Natalie Cole, Diana Ross, Alicia Keys, Stephanie Mills. Argument for heard it all before. Not as unique as the others but strong.

Vulnerable: Syesha especially if she is sabotaged with song choice. But she may have some of A'siah and Alex's votes to compensate.

Vulnerable: Ramelle. May or may nor perform well. Again may have some of A'siah's vote.

Carly: Safe.

FOLK TYPE

Brooke

Laid back singer. Appealing and Unique. Like Carly Simon, Norah Jones.

Safe

ROCK TYPE

Amanda

Hard rocker may or may not appeal to a lot of people. A bit like Janis Joplin but not quite.

Vulnerable: Depends on Song choice and how she sings.

COUNTRY TYPE

Kirsty

Good singing voice for country. Not unique but appealing. Heard it all before.

Vulnerableepends on song choice and how she sings. May have the benefit of Kady's votes.

This is my two and penny considering my favourite is Syesha.
