The one with the amazing vocals is Casey Rivers. My wife went to school with his dad (kind of, he's 5 years older than her). They sang "original songs" last week, and Chris Youngs would be at the top of the charts if it was released. Incredible song, and great voice.

That is something that would make AI better. It would also weed out the weak links. The show doesn't HAVE to keep rights, they can have the rights revert back to their author.

Just have one week where they do an original. Then if they win, late, they can use that song as their signature song. That wait you would avoid the generic pap that the writers come up with that the two finalists sing. jmo

Just have one week where they do an original.

Nashville Star has done this for the past 3 years (I missed the first year), and it's been very good. Some great original songs. This year there was only one really good original song. However, the person who had the hands down worst original song did not get voted off. But, she's the only woman left in the competion (it was 4 to 1, now it's 3 to 1).
