American Idol 12 Finalist

well, well, well. it comes down to 12. now they all start singing same style of music, which I think hideous and dagerous idea. why ? because these contestants don't need to be a skilled singer. if you need a highly trained, technically superb singer, just pick from the backup singer of the band. they are way better singer(technically) than any of the contestants. don't you agree?

so if I am going to vote for these young talent, I would look for the uniqueness, charisma, and character of the voice. I don't really care for how good they sing or in-tune they were or great performance they did. I mean partially, yeah maybe it is important to sing in-tune. but, still to me character of the voice or charisma is way important to be a POP singer. because we can always fix the tuning on the record. somewhat, you can teach to sing in-tune. but, you cannot teach a charisma or character of the voice.

I think all contestants are deserve to have some respect. it's not easy to sing in front of 10,000, 15,ooo people , knowing 120 millions of people are going to may vote or may not vote for you. especially 16, 17years old kids are trying to be a star and when they crushed with pressure, I feel the pain.

now American Idol in 2005, I think top 3 should be all man(sorry ladies!) my favorite is Anwar ROBINSON. he has style, great voice and guess what ? he has skill. according to some NJ newspaper's pole, favorite to win this year is Anwar-1st, Bo Bice "The Rocker"-2nd and Mario Vazquez is 3rd. I would definitely agree with 1st. but I would dare to pick the Constantine Maroulis "another Rocker" for my 2nd pick. I think girls are going to love him and still OK singer to be recording artist. Bo Bice is great , but he is a little bit out of character to be a AMERICAN IDOL(it's just my opinion). Mario is 5 years late to come in music industry. I think he reminds me of BOY BAND. like Back Street Boys, N'Sync, O-Town, 98 degree etc.... well.....what do you think ?
