Who Will Win 'American Idol'?

I think that the Final four will be Crystal, Casey, Siobhan and Lee. However, Lee he hasn't shown me that much except that he has a somewhat strong baritone voice. No performance skills and terrible pitch problems. He does sing from his heart though, and has a nice tone.
Crystal is a brilliant talent. Will probably be better off not winning. Whether or not she sells is TBD. I think she may. People are hungry for something more genuine, less processed. The pendulum always swings back.
Siobhan may be the one who wins...has a big fan base and is just probably quirky and talented enough. But she'll have to hold up under the pressures.
Casey has been unfairly objectified, and underestimated. He is better than some people are saying and has a big fan base. His voice sounds great recorded, he shines onstage, handles pressure, and he will switch it up very soon; he's playing it smart. Not peaking too early. He, like Crystal may be better off NOT winning. The AI stigma for a blues artist might work against him but the exposure will work for him. But, a lot of game is left. He could win, and he will sell, if marketed right. The pendulum, again, will swing, toward the roots of good music. (blues etc)
Any of those four theoretically could win, but it is early and a lot of changes will occur. Lee isn't likely to, because he hasn't been solid. At this stage of the competition David Cook had done Hello, All Right Now, Eleanor Rigby and Billie Jean!!!! (just to put to rest the DC comparisons w/Lee)
Aaron is a good young singer but he won't win. Not even Archie won and he was technically better. But Aaron has a good future if he keeps at it.
Mike is a good singer with a strong velvet-y voice but he is off-putting and old fashioned. He sings AT me not to me. Too aggressive. Last week was better. But he has no chance of winning.
Katie is a good example of a nice tone but no soul or emotional connection to go with. She's too pitchy also! It's Top Nine and she still has pitch problems. They aren't gonna go away overnight! She is boring. In there for the tweens and teens.
Bottom line for me though is that they will push for a GIRL to win - bigtime. Most likely Siobhan of the two best girls unless she falls apart.
I even think they will push for a girl-girl finale if they can. And, the most important thing is the career after Idol..

i wish bowersox would sing janis joplin "oh lord won"t u bring me a mercedes benz" absolute song for her, out
of all the singers they heardsomebody couldn't hear
very good, i really don't like anybody, give me adam back
look at how many people have looked at his website?
thousands, i'd even like taylor,

It's not a tough decision for me. The most talented person left on the show is Casey. He's proved he can sing the balads with ease, and make us feel it, and that includes the country Keith Urban song he did. He's proved he can push his vocals out there with the best of them with his more rock tunes. And R&B week he blew me away with "Hold on I'm Coming"! He showed vocal ability, excellent guitar skills (I know, it's not a guitar competition) and personality. He has been a bit 'stiff' in the past, but Casey is coming around and showing off his personality more every week. I believe he can take the title this year if he keeps up his good song choice and great vocals.
Crystal, will probably be there in the final 3, but I don't see her winning, because honestly, I DO remember the Janis Joplin era, and I got bored with it easily. It all sounds the same, and although Crystal did do something different, I'm just not digging her. She seems a bit cocky too.
And the 3rd contestant in the final 3, will either be Siobhan or Lee. I'm not sure which one will be 3rd, but if Siobhan will stop that incessant screaming at the end of every song, she very well could be the one. Then again, if Lee keeps on improving like he did last week, he could very well take that 3rd spot away from her.

Perhaps I'm not old enough to reminisce as Janice Joplin was years before my time. I just don't get the same pleasure from songs from the past, nor do I dwell on past times. I'm looking for a new artist in my American Idol, someone who has the potential to bring a new sound or song that will create a landmark in music history, just as the Janis Joplin of her time. Not looking for someone to recreate the past nor someone to copy cat a sound for me to reminisce, my time is now and the future. There is only one contestant who has that versatile, fearless, dynamic potential this year.

Crystal hasnt peeked yet. She still has way more to show and many more surprises up her sleeve. This girl will be the winner of american idol no matter what. She will succeed just like Kelly Clarkson. Mark my words.

Oh, I forgot to add about Crystal and her demeanor: She appears to be quite genuine to me, and it is probably a little embarrassing to her to have to "hawk her wares" on such a platform, but realistically, in todays world, you have to get noticed somehow and I am sure she was pushed into trying out, and if this is the only way the public is going to find out about her, then so be it. She's going to be a star now, one way or another. I also think Lee has a great voice and Casey is adorable, but Crystal should definitely win.

I think Crystal is incredibly talented. I grew up in the '70's and was never a fan of Janis Joplin, but Crystal actually reminds me of her only 100 times better. I love to hear Crystal sing, and I look forward to hearing her every week. I have never wanted to see any of the "American Idol" people in concert until now. Crystal is in another stratosphere.

I think it's going to become intense between Crystal and Siobhan while everyone else gets kicked off. Lee will get into the top 3 with them, then Crystal will fold under the pressure. Siobhan will win because she will have more mass appeal at that point.

From that poll Siobhan doesn't look like a favorite, but I'm fairly confident she will win. She has no inhibition and seems to do well under pressure. I want Crystal to win, but I think she'll fall under pressure. Her cynicism will eat her alive.

if aaron kelly wins, i will never watch this show again. he just simply isnt the best there is and if he somehow wins, it just shows how much of an influence all the little girls have on this show. crystal is so much better then everybody else on this show and if she doesnt win, something is wrong

t think Magnus is going to "hit one out of the park" real soon.crystal will be apearing at a subway station near you real soon.
