Carrie was not strictly country. Her rendition of Heart's Alone was pretty damned good if you asked me.

I hear too many people voting on who they prefer, not who sings the best or performs the best. Pickler got a ton of votes because people like her, not based on what she did the other night. For Kevin to be in the top 9 is a joke.

And THIS (IMO), is exactly why American Idol is beginning to suck and is no longer a true talent show. It's become a popularity contest and that is so not the gyst of the show to begin with. Aren't we supposed to vote in who is BEST?
