From a marketing perspective I have felt Josh should be the Idol. He has range and ability to try all different types of music. While not always 100% he has the ability. He has nice clean cut looks and could fit right in with any of the boy bands. However, once he went country with the twang he lost a lot of ground (not with me). When he sang ballads in the beginning like "Amazed" "Dont wanna miss a thing" or " I'll be" I thought he was just great. He was by far the best on the country night with "Aint going down" and now my 7 year old can sing that song which is very fast.

Clay is by far the most talented singer I have heard in a long time.

Josh did not get booted last week because his fan base of military brats and other teens voted hundreds of times each because they were so upset he was in the bottom 3 the prior week. You can read the tagline board at Josh Gracin.com to see that. Many of his fans wrote on the tagline that they voted 200 times or more.

It all comes down to a matter of taste and frankly I would not buy albums of Trenyce or Ruben. I might buy an album of Kim. I would probably buy an album by Clay or Josh for my kid.

BTW, we plan on taking our kids to the tour when it comes to our area. I think that is the draw and most of the group will be performing.

BTW:

Next week's American Idol theme will be The Bee Gees and singer Robin Gibb is flying in from London to be a guest judge, says the show's executive producer.
