I guess the young ‘innocence’ of Jessica has put her in that position LOL to me she’s just a ‘clone’? certainly a copycat with well thought-out plans to capture the attention of those ‘smitten’ by her appearance and ‘so short a dress’ that it leaves little to the imagination – 😆 I get no ‘realness’ from her performances at all, and that annoys the hell out of me! enough said on that point.
Colton, Skylar and Phillip should be the main focus of the poster, talent and performance-wise – imo of course hahahaha.

Rosanne-I love this picture! I think Phillip could have dressed up a little more, but I think by this time they’re just letting him be himself style wise! Tommy didn’t have much luck with him. I think it’s rather funny! It is rather interesting where Jessica is placed in this pic. It makes you wonder! So a DeAndre fansite sent you this! How exciting to see fans have created a site! He sould absolutely still be in this competition. I’m just going to have to see him in concert this summer!

Holly or Hollie? I seem to have gotten confused with that from time to time, LOL!

It still makes me shake my head that Heejun made it to the Top 13 while DeAndre had to get there on a Wild Card. DeAndre only last one more week after Heejun. That just seem so ridiculous to me! Oh well, I hope he gets to sing a duet or solo during the Finale, and we have that tour to look forward to!

Rosanne-You know, I was thinking, I actually thankful that DeAndre was a Wild Card pick because we got another performance from him!

Anita – absolutely! Otherwise we never would have enjoyed the opportunity to see him perform to the Top 8. He is outstanding and this is only the beginning for him.

I love Skylar, but she’s all guns blazing throughout every song she sings. She doesn’t have much restraint, or light and shade to her singing. But, Hollie does everytime she hits that stage, and this is a big reason why I vote for Hollie. Maybe she doesn’t always connect with the emotion of every song, but she treat each song with such care, instead of attack like Skylar does. I wish TPTB would give Hollie credit for this.

It’s odd…like they forgot to put Hollie in the photo, so they added it at the last minute. Otherwise, it’s a nice photo! DeAndre has a special quality about him. Jessica has a powerful voice; with the right songs, she could be a star.
It’s been a good season, but I don’t know if I’ll be attending the concert this year. Season 7 still remains my favorite season!
