to vftbest: you gotta love who you gotta love. if gokey is your thing, so be it. Honestly, I thought David Cook was really good last year, picking unusual arrangements and surprising people with different songs every week. He wore on me late, but still much different than the usual Idol crap. So love gokey and be proud. this year i secretly really like scotty mac because he MUST put in the most work to get ready each week. Just memorizing the new piano tracks each week by ear without reading the sheet music, memorizing and rehearsing lyrics you're not familiar with, doing a group number without seeing the choreographer....damn, I'll let just a little pitchiness slide. a few people here said they can't look at him singing.... be glad you have a choice, he doesn't. 2 percent tunnel vision is like looking though a cocktail straw - try seeing moving objects through one - they disappear instantly. Piano and sheet music? Try reading a newspaper out loud while looking through a straw... same thing, good luck. plus, i guess he's a Rhodes Scholar, which means to me that he is following music as a passion, so he performs with passion. He could be anything, and he is following a passion. Not a hobby, not a popularity trip, not a quick money and fame trip.... a passion. His "style" isn't my cup of tea, but he has more than average vocal talent for this top 13, more musical talent than any of this top 13, and at least as much passion as anyone left, real passion versus the theater passion that Lambert heaves up on stage. speaking of lambert.... i think you've convinced me to not HATE him. I hated how they pimped him for the first few weeks through hollywood, plus I first took his attitude as cocky, but maybe now I'm seeing it as a confident screw you. That's nicer to me. I think now that he will do anything after week 6 or 7 to get voted out so he doesn't get stuck with Idol producers. Watch out for a Normund-esque over the top Judy Garland with a chain saw performance that will terrify the masses just so he goes out with ultimate flame and notoriety. sorry everyone for my scotty mac rant - we both still think you're pretty.
