It was sooo obvious that I didn't bother watching and I hate black eyed cheerleaders anyway

.

My Top 5 picks are:

James: will win hearts of America and win easily
Lauren: from Georgia and will get alot of votes, too ****y to win
Casey: we all want to see what he will do next but too much like weird Al Yankovich and we will tire of him
Pia: very cute but can she bring that star quality and a modern day sound? NO
Scotty: He is starting to show his lack of experience and will finish 5th with a great country career ahead

Stephano and Jacob are a toss up for 6th: When his Dad said "my Stephano" and he walked into audience and said "my momma", he lost alot of votes, not to mention his dumb look. Jacob's Mom is whacked and Jacob blew it when he said he was going to put the Lusky spin on it.

Thia: said 2 weeks ago she couldn't win and sounds like she is singing to children in a Disney movie. She will never sound modern. BORING

Paul: His voice is starting to hurt my ears now!!! and I don't see him changing anything about his style. YOUTUBE VIDEOS SUCK W/BAND
