I don't know if this means anything to you, but according to a friend that just called, I guess Simon was cornered the other day and asked who would win and he said Carrie.
Mind you that he has knowledge of the numbers and support for this show, so based on that, and not talent, sounds like it will be another Clay/Reuben year.
Uh, CA Guy, Simon mentioned Carrie's talent many times. He says she has talent.
You seem to be the only one that won't give her that much credit. Even the other Bo fans are at least honest enough to give her that.
Simon, Paula, Clive Davis, all say she's got talent. I guess they didn't get your call. :-)
Simon was just sticking with his prediction after she did "Alone."
