CARRIE
“Carrie Underwood has character, beautiful voice, certainly a role model for all youth. Bo Vice can’t sing, arrested for cocaine, he doesn’t deserve the title. Let’s get this one right! Carrie is it!” --Ernestine

“I think Carrie will win she is an amazing singer and she is out of this world! She is the best American Idol has ever seen! If she does not win I don’t know what people are listening to. I agree she gives me goosebumps also, it would be so nice to see a country star win American Idol. American Idol is hurting for country stars! Go Carrie you are the best there ever was!” --Britt

“Carrie Underwood has the looks, talent and heart to win. She will be a success.” --Debbie

VONZELL
“The one to go should have been Vonzell, she proved Tuesday night how bad she really is, she has hit some clunkers in her songs on more than one night , and how can you really tell about her vocals when all she does is yells.” --Susan

“I thought Vonzell would go home just because of Simon’s remarks. I almost always totally agree with him but I thought he was a bit “off” this week.” --Marcia

“Vonzell started crying in her song. She might’ve wanted people to feel sympathy for her and I did!” --Patricia

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“I’m over it!! The president can have relations with an intern and stay in office but Paula can’t get frisky with a wannabe and keep her job. C’mon, Corey if you did have relations with Paula be happy its probably the best thing that will ever happen to you. You had no chance of winning American Idol anyway. quit trying to take away from the real talents' limelight. Go Carrie! With your fine self.” --Anonymous
