I think this has been one of the best seasons on Idol (with last season being the worst). America has gotten it right. Of the final three, I'm having a hard time picking my favorite as I believe all three are amazingly talented -- each in their own way. All three will end up with recording contracts. If pressed, Jena would probably be my bet as the next American Idol.

I wonder if Keith Urban will reach out to Jessica and give her an opportunity to tour with country headliners. Keith seemed to take an interest in her progress. With some great advice about song choices and stage appearance, Jessica could do well.

The question I ask myself about each contestant... would I want to sit through an entire concert? I enjoy Jason Mraz music, so I enjoy listening to Alex. Dedicated musician and great voice. I could listen to him on a CD, but a little awkward to watch. I loved Caleb's Beatle's song. Couldn't do an entire concert of shouting, but if he had assistance with putting a good music selection together, Caleb could do well.

I'm going to disagree with some about Jena, just my opinion, and thanks for not attacking me. Her voice is like fingernails on a chalk board to me. She's adorable and talented, but I couldn't sit through an entire concert of her songs. Husband says I have hearing like a canine. I guess so. It makes me want to cover my ears. Like I said, she's adorable and talented, but it doesn't work for me.

Jena is not my favorite ,she wasn't even one of the originals,the judges picked her.I feel the judges have been pushing her all season and is there favorite [especially Jlo's, .They pick on Jessica every week,and she has a beautiful voice I was afraid she would be dropped this week ,she was one of my favorites.i agree with others that Jenas voice sounds like fingernails on a chalk board. Calieb is my favorite,but I think it is going to be Jena ,cause that's who the judges are pushing.Jlo was a disgrace when she went up on the stage and hugged Jena after her performance,a judge is not suppose to do that,she should be fired. Tucka.

I totally agree with you, Tucka. I really, really like Caleb. I would buy his music today.

I find this interesting. Harry's parents were/are both judges. Harry is a goofball between takes, but while contestants are singing, he wears his neutral face, as he should. Then he gives good advice without gushing. Harry doesn't show his cards regarding favorites. I think J-Lo could learn a little from Harry when he's serious.

Wow, I felt this was the worst season ever! I tried, but every time I tuned in I saw nothing but unkept badly singing contestants. American Idol has slowly declined since Simon left.

The Voice has it over American Idol by a long shot!

Love The Voice! As much as Sasaundra has an amazing voice I knew she wouldn't go to the end- 40 something isn't the age of the voting audience.

I agree PKB. I even stopped taping it because IMHO The Voice is so much better and I'm watching that. I don't think any of the singers on AI are nearly as good as the ones on The Voice. Just my opinion.

Alex has been my pick since the auditions and I'm sticking with him till the end.


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?
