I am still all for Crystal

~Bo · 05-19-2010, 08:45 PM

Justin Bieber. Gaaaaaaggggg!!

Diva · 05-19-2010, 08:47 PM

Should be interesting now!

~Bo · 05-19-2010, 08:53 PM

Yep. It's a toss-up fer sure.

Leigh · 05-19-2010, 09:28 PM

I still say Crystal all the way

Diva · 05-19-2010, 10:24 PM

I hope Lee wins....and I'm gonna tell You why......

If Crystal wins, she won't have free reign with her work......think Adam Lambert. He's going great guns....where's Chris Allen? Um.....yeah.

See my point?

If Lee wins (a Chris-esque kind of performer, though, imho, somewhat better than Chris), then he'll be caught up in the AI "machine" and bound and beholden to them, whereas Crystal will have more freedom to perform the kind of music which suits her best.

We'll hear more from her.

And I like that best, personally.

Leigh · 05-19-2010, 10:58 PM

*nods* That does make pretty good sense Diva, so even if she doesn't win I'm sure she will do great things

I'm still cranky that Big Mike went last week instead of Lamey. I hope he does continue on with his music.

And I agree with Diva. At this point, 2nd place is better.

In my Tarot post on who was going to win, here is what I said about Lee's journey on AI.

Lee Dewyze gets the Death card. Gosh darn it. Before anyone gets their boxers in a bunch, this does NOT mean that Lee is going to die. It means that he is going to have to change and in some fairly significant ways. It won’t be easy and I actually do not think he will make it to the final four. I believe he will be an early out. Pout. Another fave! Then again, the rising from the ashes could mean he’ll be saved at least once.

I said Crystal would be in the top four and Big Mike. My other two were Katie and Siobhan (totally based on the cards, grin.)

Crystal Bowersox gets the 8 of Wands. Now here is a card of fast movement and action. It can predict travel but also is about passion and energy. I have to admit that Crystal is one of my personal faves. I really wanted to see her get one of the aces but the 8 of Wands is a very powerful card for someone on a rising path.

I love doing this because it is pure speculation. Fun to watch the season and see if I was close.

I am a Crystal fan all the way! I think every little teeny bopper with a cell phone will vote for Lee.

I read the other day about the breakdown of who gets how much money for what out of the finalists. I was totally surprised to read that the top (at least 4) get a certain amount of money per album. 1st gets say 100K, second 150k and so on. The top two were beholden to that mess till like album 10 or some other such fuckery. (I'm not positive but 100 or 200 K per album seems to be a small amount, but I really don't know). I mean they don't get rights to the songs etc.??

Anywho, if AI is paying them on this schedule, then they do have some sort of say on their content, I suspect. I saw very little difference between ranked 1 or 2 actually.

How 'bout them apples!??

Wow!! Great show tonight. It was sad with all the talk about it being Simon's last time judging.

Our stupid Fox station lost the picture right in the middle of Lee singing his last song. And it didn't come back until after Crystal finished HER last song. All we had was sound. DAMN!!!!

I wonder if my neighbors heard me cussing.
