As performers go, Ashley is a star already. She had the chops to win Idol and I, like many others, was shocked by her early departure..I picked Carrie Underwood to win the year she competed and was right on the money. This year I chose Ashley and was blown away when she didn't make top 24..I hope she continues to pursue music, as I think someday she'll wow audiences everywhere.

She's good, but isn't that great. She's obviously a judge/producer favorite since they're pimping her as early as now.
