WRONG SOX SHOULD HAVE WENT HOME...END OF STORY  I predicted this waaaaaaaaaaaayyy back they even have the top 12, I thought that the top 4 will be Alex Lambert, Crystal, Casey and Lee. But of course when Alex was eliminated I thought those three will still make it but the final two will have to be Lee and Crystal.  I believe that a lot or people has the same prediction early on because it's not really that difficult to identify those who are to make it given the kind of line up they have this season.  When it came down to Crystal and Casey, I kinda wanted him to win after seeing his trip home footage. I like him as a person.  Yes-the final will be fantastic to watch! Go Lee and Crystal!  Over the past several weeks, Lee has improved little by little. But, he's still pretty dull. Come on Sox! Keep your songs true to the heart. In fact, check out some songs of the duo "Heart".  What was with Crystal wrapping her leg around Lee? Her boyfriend should be wondering...  Maybe 'michele' should figure out grammar before she tries to figure out show business.  i hear ya jealous guy and she admitted that she has a crush on Casey and her boyfriend knows about it.........oh pulleze.....gee bet that boosted her boyfriends feelings.........  THIS WAS TOO EASY TO PREDICT THEY WERE THE ONLY TWO WHO COULD SING THE OTHERS JUST SOUNDED LIKE CRAP  LEE IS AWESOME!!! I'm actually going to have to pick up the phone next week and vote for him. I wonder if Casey's fans will be voting for Lee or "Boring-Sox" now that he's gone??  @michele some people don't care about feelings. so, what are you wearing?  @mb I think Casey fans will vote for LEE. Hope so...  i'm wearing dreads jealous guy...........lol.....  Why did Ryan give the results like that? I wasn't sure if Crystal was safe. She had to ask to make sure.  GO LEE! IT'S IN THE BAG!!!  Lee has been very strong the past few weeks. But when it comes down to it, Crystal can outshine anybody on that stage.  Funny how they both additioned together and made it to the final 2  I have never believed that AI was rigged, but this year I do. Last night I voted for contestant number 2, Crystal, and the message on the line said, :Thanks for voting for contestant number 3! Tune in tomorrow night...." I thought maybe I had mistakenly pushed the wrong number, but I checked and I had punched 866-436-5702. Now I will always, always have doubts about the results. It has been obvious that the judges have been pushing Lee for a number of weeks now. I can't believe that I am hearing the same thing they are hearing. He definitely sings familiar songs, but he is off key in spots throughout each song. It has always been my favorite show, but this is definitely my last season. With Simon gone, partiality with the judges, and questionable voting results, something just doesn't ring true!  @Janis I know. He made me say huh?  I miss "Big Mike"... He was the only one who was "different". All the remaining contestants have been entertainers, or have had aspirations (like Lee) to get into the professional music business, but Mike was a family man who had a talent, and got SO CLOSE... Sorry Big Mike...we'll miss ya.  @maggie what you said, AGREE...  maggie its been rigged since season 1.....lol  @Michele you been drinking the Haterade tonite?  Mamasox deserves to win. she has been consistent ALL season. Sure Lee has come up but he still does not compare to mamasox's natural talent.  I WILL BET MICHELE'S WEARING NOTHING UNDER HER CLOTHES  nope just good ole tea........simon wants the winner to be the one who will bring him the money  Lee and Crystal are a good final that will be hard to pick. I think that Lee is another Kris Allen who will win the female voters hearts and win it all.  Isn't it enuff to be a great singer? Do all the AI's now have to play guitar? David Cook, Kris Allen, Crystal or Lee...  IT HAS BEEN RIGGED SINCE CLAY AIKEN DIDN'T WIN AND THEN LAST YEAR WHEN ADAM LAMBERT DIDN'T WIN AND THEN PAULA LEAVING......AI IS NO LONGER MY # 1 SHOW ! CAN'T WAIT TILL SIMON'S NEW SHOW....BET PAULA WILL BE ONE OF THE JUDGES!!!!!  My vote is for Crystal Go to you tube and listen to some of her songs she wrote. She has natural God given talent.  The winner has to be Lee. Crystal's appearance, especially her hair, is not what an American Idol should look like. I compare all the Idols to Kelly Clarkston. She was tops along with Carry Underwood. Go Lee  We voted like crazy for Casey and Crystal and bought their songs. But, we saw the judges manipulations, how they brushed off Casey for the past few weeks and boosted Lee. We even believe that they brought in a special crowd of Lee fans for last night's show because suddenly there are Lee fans, when before everybody was screaming for Casey and Crystal. Felt weird. Also, the judges do sway the audience and they really did an overblown job on Lee. He's not that great. We wouldn't buy any of his songs. Let's face it – Crystal has the best voice on this show, she showed so many different styles, and she deserves the win. She's a winner, any way you look at her. We also feel Lee might know he's the judge's choice for a win, and maybe they already told him he will win it? They sure have been setting it up that way – YUCK!  crystal and lee r amazing singers...it is so hard to choose...but i have been with crystal since the show started she is so unique...and i really want her to win...but if lee wins that is okay too....because he is amazing and a cutie....  I'll see ya tomorrow! It's really nice of Ellen to have them on her show when they are sent home... Maybe it's to make up for all her lame input/feedback that is supposed to help the singers improve.  @avanee crystal unique? As unique as Janis Joplin and Melissa Ethridge...  sure; they're even in that they both pretty much SUCKED; in fact, most of the top ten sucked and this will repeat itself next season UNLESS American Idol puts limits on the voting. My friend & I were lucky to get o;ne vote each last nite.  Okay nutjobs, the show isn't rigged. Proof...two words...Taylor Hicks.  Why has the judges pushed Lee as so many claim. Maybe it's because they believe that he has been consistantly better than the other performers over the past few weeks. Just a thought.  the show is always RIGGED when their favorites go home You never hear from these people ever till it happens after that go back under their rock  @Crystal's BFF HATERADE, that a good one! she is a meanie and is just jealous of Crystal's talent. My girl sings, plays guitar, piano, and the harmonica too  What is it with this comment section? I have tried to post two different things, and it keeps saying it's a duplicate, I've already said that, but it isn't posted anywhere. And I've waited and waited, they didn't show up.  did anyone notice how Mamasox was all over Lee, she has a baby and a husband almost. Lee better be careful around her, he might let her win if she turns on the charm.  Crystal should win this thing, she is the better talent of the two. Lee can't carry a note if you spotted him a bucket. cute looks and a little smile does not make a good singer. what a joke folks keep falling for the perfect look versus talent.  crystal has been the best all season as a whole, not just over a few lucky nights. Lee really is not that great , get past the looks and swooning and listen to him  how funny, my post above I talk about how it should be based on talent and not just pretty boy looks and THEN only after that I see mary's comments above:  mary says: The winner has to be Lee. Crystal's appearance, especially her hair, is not what an American Idol should look like  wow – how shallow can you be mary? pathetic. crystal should not be the idol because she does not have the perfect look? You know not everyone in american is 5 ft 2 inches, size 2 waist and beautiful. sometimes beauty is within, not just on the outside. pity you can;t see past the exterior with your shallow comments  Shaman-this blog is monitored by a word PROG...words like S ex,,, S ucked S hit are booted from blog but now you can say CRAP & Ass ok lol
SPOILER ALERT!!! Tonight's blog entry will reveal the contestant being sent home from "American Idol." Don't read any further if you don't want to know the results. Is there anyone out there who doubted the outcome? Even MamaSox says she has a crush on Casey and she's not alone. Mr.
