I'm not sure about that.
But VoteForTheWorst picked Kevin this week and he didn't even make the bottom 3.
I think they have SOME "power," but not as much as everyone thinks.
Kevin has the "awwwwww....how cute" factor, as well as standing up to Simon. A lot of people like him. Heck, even Makayla stayed a few weeks and she was horrible.
But I still don't see him staying much longer. One thing for sure, you really never know for sure if someone is totally "safe."
Fantasia was in the bottom 3 several times. I still think if Latoya London had been there, she would have won it. She was a victim of "you're too good, I don't need to vote for you" syndrom.
I spent two hours voting for Kevin and I did so because I liked the song and felt he did a decent job with it.
If Taylor had been at risk of getting voted off, I'd have voted for Taylor.
Last week I voted for Kevin and Melissa.
I vote for who I would buy CDs of. I bought a Dianna DeGarmo CD and 3 of Carrie's. I copy them to my computer then write Any Soldier.com on them in indelible ink and put them in care packages that get sent to soldiers. (sent about 300 so far)
If Kevin wasn't in there, well my votes would go to Mandisa and Taylor probably.
Meant to comment on this. I agree with you. I can't stand fantasia, and I really liked Latoya. Fantasia did good with 'Summertime', but other than that, she just screached a lot. imo
