She's really has talent in singing... For me, eventhough she was a background singer for her past few year.... But I guest she's a Star now.... She need to sit in front of people... Performing as a singer... Not just a background singer... One thing that I'm proud of her is that, she's look humble in front of her audience... That's one of her attitude that I Salute so much !!! If American vote her as the next American Idol... I'm One Of those Voters Too !!! So, Good Luck Gurl !!!

Amazing talent from a 17 years old kiddo!!! How supprised I am when I found out between her age and her talent.... Much far far different... Salute 2 you gurl... Nice Vocal from her make me adore her...Her sweet smile and funny-funny face make me more curious to watch everytime she perform... Eventhough she's more taller and big size compare to Ryan (host of American Idol), she's really good in controlling her nerve and vibrato... Thumbs Up 4 You~

The One And ONly guy that I adore... Really love how he modified each of his song everytime he perform... He's really a creative guy... Everytime he pick and choose his song, he will edit and add some part of the song to make more interesting...No mather the song is latest one or back to the oldies version... Love to see he make a "beeboop" style... Seems he kinda cool person and have a bright future one day... And I bet he'll be a successfull artist later coz of his talent and creative-ness... Feel the energy for each of his performance... By the way, he's kinda "cute" too...LOL!!! Best of Luck Dude !!!

--My Comment--

The Worst ever !!! I really don't know how the hack he's still in the list !!! I don't say he's got no talent... But for me, he's not suitable to fight for this idol talent... Here, we find the greatest among the greatest... Not the greatest among the weakness... Common'Lah... U'all know laa how he did his performing week by week... Make me feel really bored... Eventhough he change to rock song also, I guest he's not suitable at all for this competition...One of my big question mark is "Y that little gurl cried for him when he sang that rock song ??? OMG !!!"... Sorry dude... I'm not one of your fans~
