I also would like to add that Casey had the sweetest and most memorable sing - out of any Idol EVER. Singing with that little girl in his arms was just incredible. He is a class act. I started out hating this season and ended up becoming a Casey fan!

Casey James was the only Idol remaining that I had any interest in. He is as talented, or perhaps even more talented, than the remaining two. I read somewhere that Casey had never watched the show before. I believe it, because he would have picked a different song if he had. It has to be a WOW moment to get in the finals. I voted for him for 2 hrs. straight because I felt his previous performances warranted his place in the final 2. If he had done what he did with "Drowning on Dry Land", or "Blue Sky" on his hometown visit, I think he would have been the winner. Of course,Idol edited out his singing in the visit, because they had their minds made up already for Lee/Crystal showdown. I just hope someone gives this man a record deal. He is the only one out of this season that I will buy music from. I think he has STAR POWER that outshines the final 2.

May 18th's show was a travesty, in my opinion. The judges Kara and Randy's choice of song for Casey short-changed him for failure. It was sung well, but totally forgettable. On the other hand Simon's choice for Lee was fantastic. He couldn't do any better, and the judges couldn't have been more proud. What a blatant show of favoritism! I'm still pulling for Casey based on his sheer determination. One less show to follow in the coming months.....

CASEY IS THE ONLY TRUE ARTIST ON THE SHOW He has been treated unfairly by the judges all season, and despite teir criticism, me has an AMAZING voice, and is drop-dead-gorgeous! Lee has an okay voice, but is always pitchy, and crystal is fine, but she jsut needs to go sing songs in a coffee house CASEY IS AMAZING and I would only buy Casey's albums! Casey does not deserve to go home, although he will have a career either way.

Clearly Lee is the star of this year's bunch. Great voice. His 2 song were 2 of the best of the season. Crystal is likable and should do fine on the Lilith Fest circuit. Casey will be fine as a guitarist for some cover band in some random beer bar in the Texas dust. He could also play at prison rodeos. The judges were right on this week...finally. Buh-bye Casey.
