Re: “"American Idol" 2013: Results (Final 2 Revealed!)”
Kree Harrison doesn't need sympathy votes! Geez people, she is truly talented and like Angie, she writes her own songs as well. Also, you don't have to run around the stage and get dressed up to entertain when you have a great voice. George Strait has sold millions and he is a simple country guy in a pair of jeans, a shirt and a hat!

I'm waiting for someone to tell us why we should trust the Eastman House gang given the way they stiffed the Monroe Voiture vets the last time.
Re: “"American Idol" 2013: Results (Final 2 Revealed!)”
I like that the final two are Kree and Candice!!! I would like to see Kree win it, and I will be voting!!! but they are both very powerful singers!!! so who knows!!!!
Re: “"American Idol" 2013: Results (Final 2 Revealed!)”
Kree's homecoming video certainly helped her. So it's not level playing ground unfortunately. Angie is enormously talented. She should be in the final two.
Re: “"American Idol" 2013: Results (Final 2 Revealed!)”
I don't think you can go wrong with any of the top 3. I loved Angie and Kree best only because I hear more originality in there voices, but Amber is Fabulous as well. I think any of the 3 would have been a disappointing loss, but Angie will most certainly be heard from again!!! Her goodbye song was NOT her original, it was a Colton Dixon song. However, the background song from her hometown visit was get original and I hope that we will hear that as her first released single VERY soon!
Judges.... Well BLAH! Talk about in genuine! I think Keith was the only one not playing an angle!
Re: “"American Idol" 2013: Results (Final 2 Revealed!)”
I picked Kree from the very beginning. She is a very talented girl and the best they have had in a long time. There is nothing phony about Kree, what you see is what you get. Even though I think Candace has talent , I am rooting for Kree all the way.
Re: “"American Idol" 2013: Results (Final 2 Revealed!)”
Think it is important to not be over critical, about people. All 3 of the singers are great. God has certainly blessed them all. Don't be too hard on Angie. She may not have had the hardship and pain life sometimes brings but should we really think less of a person's talent and ability because she has a fairly blessed life. When I think of what she had to come to the stage with, voice and piano , her talent is enormous. Don't forget the song she picked the night they performed any song you wish you had written was a Kari Jobe song, awesome Christian musician. Angie shows us she is brave and talented in so many ways. Look past her face and see her inner heart.

Like all of them, but Angie's third line disconnected. Tried several times. Did idol not pay the phone bill?

Re: “"American Idol" 2013: Results (Final 2 Revealed!)”
Absolutely not. Angie deserved it.
Re: “"American Idol" 2013: Results (Final 2 Revealed!)”
i disagree. amber is the best, is a singer autentic and beautiful woman
Re: “"American Idol" 2013: Results (Final 2 Revealed!)”
I'm thrilled. I think Candice & Kree were the strongest. (Other than my beloved Amber .....but that wasn't to be). I would be happy if either won.
Judges: I was surprised by them this year and liked them much more than I was expecting to. I think generally they were honest and offered good coaching advice.
Re: “"American Idol" 2013: Results (Final 2 Revealed!)”
Absolutely! Angie is amazing and will soar even without this win. The final two i'm happy with and i hope they either which one has the spunk to continue in their career if they are not chosen.
Re: “"American Idol" 2013: Results (Final 2 Revealed!)”
I disagree. I never liked Angie, because she doesn't seem genuine. This was touched on in the article, so interesting to also say Angie was the one the show wanted to win. That is ridiculous. Kree is the person I want to win and I suspect millions of others do to. She is genuine and a great singer. I'm not even a country fan and I love the girl! I hope Kree wins this thing, but even if she doesn't she will be a huge star. I am sure Candice will do well, but even with a win I think Kree will outshine her long term.
Re: “"RuPaul's Drag Race" Season 5 Reunion: The winner revealed!”
My faith in Ru is once again supported. Sharon Needles last year, Jinkx Monsoon this year. Ru know what best. The final decision is her's and she makes the right choice every time!!
Re: “Owners of Craft Company No. 6 speak out against University Ave. project”
This is a journalism ethics two-fer.
First, City is so interested in carrying water for GEH that they publish this form letter as original content from the Craft Co.
Second, unlike other letters to the editor in City, they put this opinion piece in the news section.
Coupled with the non-disclosure of contributions to GEH, as well as the non-disclosure that the Towlers own rental property in the neighborhood, one wonders if there are any ethical standards at City, other than whatever the Towlers feel is right, is right.
Re: “"American Idol" 2013: Top 3 Perform”
My BF and I both wanted Amber Holcomb to win the entire show because she truly is the WHOLE idol package...pretty face, long legs that go on for days, and a Whitney Houston voice!! So, now that our favorite's gone, :-( we would be happiest if either Candice or Kree leaves as our next "American Idol!" We are way more connected (especially emotionally) with those two. Both home visit videos were SO touching; especially Kree's (what a tear jerker :-( and very sweet and genuine. Angie, throughout the competition, has come off a bit cheesy, over dramatic, and fake to us. She is an amazing vocalist, no doubt, but the connection is just not there. GO Candice and Kree!! They're in it to WIN it!!!! :-) p.s. Judges SUCK this year bigtime! It was the BEST with Steven Tyler and my celebrity girl crush, (lol) hot and sexy J Lo...please bring 'em back!!

Re: “"American Idol" 2013: Top 3 Perform”
I am really ready for this to all come to an end. I loved the home videos for Candice and Kree. They seemed so genuine and heartfelt and they didn't have to say how much they lvoed their home as it was obvious. I just dont; quite buy Angie and all the joyful clapping and references to "Boston Strong".
The songs. Far too many bad choices. I actually liked Angie this week for the first time ever as she was singing more so than shrieking and then she pulled out the piano. Now I do agree that she looks very comfortable on it and is an unsual formula for a woman etc but I truly find her just screeching and no musicality to it. She does look like Miley Cyrus before she got her gorgeous new do.
Kree...not good song choices at all but her voice generally sounded good. And. Her. Story. (sob) Love her in so many ways and I can see her getting lots of votes.
Candice: Absolutely phenomenal. Her voice, her background, her sincerity, her attitude. Loved tough old Nikki getting all worked up talking about her Candice is an inspiration as a woman.
I have no idea how this is going to play out. I am rooting for Candice.
Re: “"American Idol" 2013: Results (Final 2 Revealed!)”
Candice is the best vocalist by far; and afterall, this is a vocal competition! Candice you are so beautiful and such a powerful singer from your soul! I miss Amber too!
