I love Angie and was so desperate when she was voted out 3rd. In my opinion she is current and brilliant and Candy is not. Kree will prosper anyway being country. Angie is amazing. Loved seeing David Cook on tv with his new song. For he epitomises star quality.

This was my favourite moment of the night, Angie was my favourite artist of the year.
I think that they were trying to position Candice as one of the great voices possibly along side greats like Aretha Franklin . Time will tell. That was a very different time with the Mahalia Jackson’s and so on.
The music scene is very fractured now, very few great ones

Angie did a wonderful duet with Candice and a wonderful duet with Adam. I am always surprised when a list of the top moments of the season is given, the duet with Candice isn’t there.There is point in the Candice duet about a minute in where the combination is just beautiful, just beautiful. It wasn’t an accident that she did so well with Adam. They both came to sing and perform. They both always come to sing and perform. No one will ever get cheated out of their money with either one.

Adam Lambert is my fav Idol contestant of all time and I am often surprised Adam’s vocal prowess is not discussed more on MCL blogs. To my ears vocally Adam has it all. Range, Power, Texture, Color, emotion. Angie was my favorite this season and I do find her much more current, marketable and more viable than Candice or Kree. Angie can sing anything. Titanium was so haunting, moving and I keep listening to it over and over. Amazing.

Adam is a truly generous costar. He reminds me of a great basketball player who can shoot or “dish the rock.” Like legendary athletes who raise the level of play of those around him, he knows that if he costars shine, he will too.

This is a little old, but I wanted to post a video of Angie on Kelly and Michael singing her original song, “You Set Me Free.” A gorgeous song and performance!
