Personally, Dan, Carrie doesn't do ANYTHING for me. She's good, but she doesn't spark me at all. It's not a reaction against country, even when not doing country she fails to "reach" ME. But she has, I'm pretty sure, plenty of fans.
SoulStream, yeah, Scott does have some interesting vibrato stuff going on. . . . I like how emotional he is. I'm an emotional guy as well. I can relate.
Chris, I'm just not that fond of rockers overall. . . . I'd rather NOT see one win the competition. Hey, I'd have liked to see that cat that did Moody's Mood for Love go right to the top!
