I don't doubt it - Carrie is a lot easier to sell and Simon picked her long ago as his #1. But it's also likely that she picked up a lot more of Vonzell's votes than Bo did.

Either way, they will both have successful careers, and they are both a lot more talented than last year's finalists. ;)

Bo's career as a Southern Rock Lead Man will be better off without the title of "American Idol" hanging around his neck for the rest of his life.

I agree. With the right songs, both will do well. And last years winner chick sucked eggs.

But it's also likely that she picked up a lot more of Vonzell's votes than Bo did.

That's the heart of it; Carrie and Bo were virtually tied during Vonzell's elimination. Her voters would be the most influential block and if they didn't break at least 60% to Carrie, I would be shocked.

consider that she was never in the bottome three, while Bo was once, that and Simeon predicting twice that she would win.
