I don't care for Craig's rendition of this song. I think he may go home.


I love everything Craig sings, and he didn't go home.

I know...I watch the show.

That comment was BEFORE he sang the fabulous "Old Rugged Cross."

Well, it's official DAMIEN is back. I just saw it on the NBC website.

My pick was Danica but I love Damien too. He really can sing "Grenade"!!


I'm happy for Damien, he is so talented. So many of the contestants this season are extremely talented and I'm sure some of them will get recording contracts.

I'm really happy with the way this is playing out!

Get this: A former contestant of Adam's was interviewed. She said they don't get to spend that much time with their coaches (I already knew that from Matt), and she said Adam plays the game very strategically. She talked about the semi-finals. It looked like Adam was ready to dismiss Chris. For Chris' first song, he didn't stand, when he did for the others. He gave lackluster comments and kind of a "goodbye" talk. She said it was always his plan. Chris looked defeated (I didn't notice this), BUT he came back with a vengeance for his second song. She said Adam always pushes his contestants, and in her opinion, Chris is really the one Adam thinks can win it all. That surprised me! She said it's all about song choice, and she thinks Blake is the best coach for that. She also said Blake is really a nice person to all of the contestants. Smile

Hey that is great to hear that Blake is nice to all of the contestants.

I am not surprised that she said that about Adam and particularly about song choice. In my view he is terrible at picking songs. Lucky for him he ended up with people on his team who could overcome his terrible coaching. I used to like him a lot but this year I don't like him at all.

Hi scottie! Song choice may determine the winner of this. All of these guys are great. If Blake selects the right ones for Craig like he did with "The Old Rugged Cross," he may take it all.

I wouldn't mind it if Chris wins. He's 20 - so young (DS' age). Craig and Damien are 35 and Matt is 23. They are ALL so good, and I think they all have bright futures!

(Matt is still working on a CD - writing songs for it - and performing at a lot of religious and benefit concerts. He's still really close to Tessanne.)

I was happy to see Damien come back.
