    Default American Idol: The SW Poll

    Ok, honestly, who do you think will be the next American Idol? I'm not asking who your favorite is, I wanna know who you THINK will win. (I say Bo.)
    You know the saying? ... Celeste is the best!

    first of all, I really like the top 3. I think the pecking order is Bo, Carrie, Vonzell. I really don't think Carrie has enough stage presence to win. But boy can she sing! I predict Bo will win.

    If people know what's good for em, they'll annoint Carrie as the winner and Bo as the runner-up. Both of them will probably sell more records than Ruben and Fantasia combined. Even though Vonzell has an uphill battle, she will probably do well for herself as well. Tamarya Gray from the first season wasn't even a runner-up and she was on a television show, Broadway and has sold quite a few records...Some will say that she was the real winner than season.

    I voted for Bo because I think he will win. I don't like his sound. Don't get me wrong he can sing, he's just not my kind of vocalist. I really like Vonzell, but I don't think she will win. Carrie is very good and has the whole package, but how many Carries are out there already. Bo is the real stand out and he can sing. That's why he will win.

    I believe Bo will take it. Not just because he's been my fave from the start, but because he's been absolutely consistent and flawless from the beginning. He's got the presence and talent of a seasoned musician. He interacts with the audience, is expressive and actually sings for them. And I'm so pleased that for the first time in 4 years, a rocker has come this far, showing the world that the competition is not just about Pop music.

    I do not believe that Carrie will win. Sure, she'll be right along with Bo in the top two, but she doesn't have enough to win. She is, as Simon has put it a few times, robotic and expressionless. I don't think we need yet another cutesy blonde in the business either. Of course, she'll get signed by someone either way, without a doubt, same for Bo. She'll also go back to her "roots" in Country music. That's my prediction anyway. Her voice was built for that genre.

    Vonzell will go home Wednesday. She has nothing to be ashamed of, she is in the top 3. But, she doesn't have what it takes to win. She's constantly off-key and as I've said, she can only really finish the song. What about the start, and in-between?

    But yeah.. Bo will win, most definitely. Judging from the responses of the audience his last performance, I'd say that most agree. Randy couldn't even respond right away with his comments, because the audience was absolutely wild. No one else has received that kind of response.

    At this point in the competition, there will be no losers. They'll all get contracts--even Vonzell. I wouldn't be surprised if someone signed Anthony soon, too.

    I found this great article on Bo. What you see is what you get....and we like what we see..... He's not changing himself anytime soon. I don't think he can be persuaded to become a "popstar" even if he wins.


    'Idol' Rocker Bice a Softy for Family By SAMIRA JAFARI, Associated Press Writer
    Mon May 9, 5:49 PM ET


    HELENA, Ala. - Bo Bice hasn't traded his grandma-made rocker threads for Hollywood's designer labels just yet.

    While fellow "American Idol" contestants change hairdos and fashion styles weekly, the Alabama native remains true to his down-home garb — sometimes fringed and earthy, at times glossy liquid leather — and his signature, shoulder-length locks.
    "They tried to do highlights, they tried to cut his hair — Bo says no," said his mother, Nancy Downes. (Attempts at Willie Nelson-style braids and a run-in with a hair iron were also no-nos.)
    Heading into Tuesday's final four match, Bice's fans in his hometown of Helena are watching even closer for any changes. They don't expect any from the 29-year-old Southern heartthrob who still wears the vintage attire designed and sewn by his grandmother and jewelry created by a local bead artist.
    Bice is expected to wear the latest "really wild" creation from Grandma Madge Schofield and a jade necklace crafted by Helena artist Lora Popwell during Tuesday's performance, Downes said.
    "Pretty much everybody knows the Bo on TV is who you get," said John Cooper, bassist and back up singer in Bice's band, SugarMoney.
    His loyalty is evident: He has a steady girlfriend, a menagerie of dogs, cats and turtles, and a town that defends him like blood — especially after he claimed Helena as his hometown over metros like his birthplace of Huntsville and better-known, nearby Birmingham.
    Signs reading "Go Bo Go" are plastered all over Helena's storefronts, churches and City Hall building, and the Bice Squad fan club is looking for members.
    "He's very loyal. You didn't hear a lot of negativity about him until Smoking Gun got a hold of it," said Helena spokeswoman Joy Childers, referring to a recent report by thesmokinggun.com about Bice's two drug arrests over the past four years.
    By all accounts, the 10,000-population city stood by Bice during the ordeal, which had little effect on his popularity on the show.
    Bice has emerged as an unexpected favorite, steadily gaining respect from the three "Idol" judges. When fellow rocker Constantine Maroulis was knocked off in the April 27 episode, Bice stepped into the forefront as the judges' "true rock star."
    Well, more like a rocker with a soft spot for stray pets, Moon Pies and his mom. Around town, he's known as a good Christian, devoted to the New Hope church and his friends. At home, he's the family's beloved "hippie perfectionist."
    Born in Huntsville, Bice spent most of his life between Alabama and Georgia, with close ties to his mother, grandmother and aunts. His parents divorced when he was 3, and the next few years spent in Atlanta were particularly hard on the toddler and his single mom.
    "He's been considered a momma's boy," Downes said. "There were nights when we were struggling with a mattress on the floor of a one-bedroom apartment, eating spaghetti every night."
    "It was really tough. That's the reason I think we are so close," she said.
    Bice's family grew, with another brother — a clean-cut U.S. Marine — and later two stepsisters and a stepfather he considers his dad.
    Downes said she always encouraged Bice's love of rock 'n' roll, and even the image that went along with it. Bice has sported his lengthy locks for as long as she can remember: "He's had the hair from Day 1. Bo's hair used to be down to his waist. We just hated him because it was so beautiful."
    A job transfer by his stepdad pulled him to London during his high school years, before he returned to Alabama and joined a garage band called Purge. As some band members moved on to other jobs, Bice consistently played with two — Shane Sexton and Cooper — and created the three-member SugarMoney in 1999.
    While music was always the main focus, Bice still had to pursue odd jobs to pay the bills: pizza parlor employee, apartment maintenance man, landscaping.
    "He's the best on a Weed Eater," recalls Cooper.
    The band has remained supportive, Cooper says, with no worries of being ditched: "It makes me feel good to know that all those years we were playing to the ashtrays, playing to nobody, was worth it for somebody."

    It's definitely between Bo and Carrie-I don't think Vonzell has a chance. Between Bo and Carrie, I think Carrie will win. She has a great voice and whenever I call and vote for her, I always have a very hard time getting through. Her line is almost always busy. Plus she's the only contestant so far who has never been in the bottom two or three. No matter what the outcome is, I'm sure that Bo and Carrie will both get record deals. Clay Aiken came in second place during the second season of American Idol, and he is more successful than Ruben Studdard, who beat him.
