I don't know what you guys are all hearing. Ace is a good singer. He may not be the best there, but he CAN sing. Again, don't hate him cuz he's beautiful.
You really want to know why I don't like Ace. There is a creep factor for me. The first time I heard him, he did a Michael Jackson song. To me he is a MJ wannabe. I know, sounds like a personal problem. So be it.
Hildy, I agree with you. They can ALL sing. That's one of the things people like about AI. Compared to what passes for singing stars today, these contestants have much more natural talent.
What I'm looking for is (1) Who benefits most from being the Idol and (2) who would I rather see with more independence for a better career.
I'll keep voting for Taylor, as long as he's there....even though I'd rather see him in concert with his band. Beyond that, Elliot seems to be the ideal Idol.
I'd rather see Ace being a very energetic second or third singer for an awesome rock band.
Kathy and Chris I just don't see as Idol material.
