Carrie did suck, and Randy's comment about her pitch was dead on (unlike her intonation). Simon's right, that the hard-core country fans will love her. However, if she wants to appeal to a wider audience, she's got to cover country songs with some crossover appeal, a la Dixie Chicks or at least Shania Twain. Martina McBride (whose songs I have only ever heard as covers on American Idol) will not cut it.

Vonzell gets points for ambition (and for how cute it was when her tough-looking brother cried while talking about her), but she still has some pretty serious lack-of-control issues.

Scott plain old sucked. And his Aaron Neville wobble was the worst I've heard it.

Anthony was also deep into suckitude. I could not believe they complimented him on his high notes, which to me sounded pinched. There is nothing interesting or noteworthy about his singing or his stage presence.

Constantine picked the wrong song--too repetitive and too narrow in melodic range. When he did the little scream at the end (those are hard to do and have them sound good--if you've ever tried you know), I was wishing he'd started doing that way earlier in the song. He also gets points off for having a creepy-looking older brother, but that's compensated for by his sassy mother and her wisecracks about how difficult he was as a teenager.

Bo does need to lose the sunglasses, and I thought the dashiki look was, well, interesting. But there's not much else negative I can say. He's a nice guy and a great performer, comfortable on the stage, blah blah blah. I just wish he had more sex appeal.

I think Scott goes, but then, I said that last week.

Bo has a world of sex appeal. He makes funny faces and has a great confident smile. He seems like one of the most genruinely well adjusted, happy and appreciatvie people I have ever witnessed. ANd that is bangable. Its genuine. And you know he rocks in bed. Love his outfit- he is like the Dude without the Caucasian.
