Come on now. What's with the Carly bashing. From the beginning she has deserved to go at least to the top 3, and although she has been struggling through some confidence issues, I think much of that has been due to trying to find a way to get beyond the looming presence of the judges. She has the most talent as a vocalist in the competition though, outside of David Cook, and she is the only one that can give us some assurance that David A. will not be the one competing with Cook in the finale (god help this show if that's the case).

Personally I think that Syesha deserves to go next simply based on the fact that she has been consistently middle of the road and has graced the bottom three more then a few times. Brooke has as well, but she has had a couple of performances at least that have stood out, and she offers a bit more of a personality and most certainly an artistic vibe that helps distract from David A. I am torn between Castro and Brooke, as both of them have had a few shining moments, and both of them have a decent singer/songwriter vibe that is unique to the show. I had predicted that Syesha would go, and then Castro would edge out Brooke, and then Carly would be in for the fight of her life (unfortunately) to oust the predictable David A. and go into the finale with David Cook (which I think would be one of the best finales they've ever had... or one of the worst of David A. prevails to the final 2).
