The last time I really liked a contestant was way back on Season 5 with Elliott Yamin. Right now, I'm gunning for Anoop. He really sings well and he's a nerd, he reminds me so much of Raj from The Big Bang Theory. Haha. I sure hope he gets through to the elimination rounds, at least.

I like Anoop but he's not my favorite. I really like Kris and I hope that he at least gets to the top 5 and I would love if he would make it to the top 3. I think he would have a great chance of making it in the music world. I see Anoop and Danny and Adam going far. I also like Allison, but I don't think she will win. If mmicelli is right about them picking a white girl I would rather it be her than Megan. I just can't seem to like her, but thats just my opinion. However, I don't think that they pre-pick the winner on this show, or at least not this early. If they did, then whats the point of us voting?

It's pretty tough for Matt and Kris, who are both really great contestants, to get fewer votes compared to crowd (and judges) favorites Danny and Adam. It's always those two who gets the attention and I think some other people should get in the limelight every once in a while too.

I wish that were true, but the Idol producers and judges already know what kind of person they want to win this season. It's definitely a white girl. They will do all they can to make sure that happens. Think about season 5, Katharine McPhee was clearly the best vocalist of the competition. But because they needed a white dude to win that year, they cut her down. Even to the point where other big people in the music industry called them out. David Foster! So trust me, no matter how well Anoop does, they'll do everything in their power to not let him win. Think Jason Castro- and Paula saying something about his 2nd performance before he even did it. Idol always has an agenda!

I'm just glad that Anoop's still hanging there even if he gets bad comments from the judges. He really does have some off nights, but he makes up for it somehow. I hope he gets in the Finale with Adam Lambert.
