I think a big issue with girls vs. boys is that so much of the voting base is silly teenage girls who vote for the boys they think are cute rather than the most talented singers. My problem is not that there are so many boys left, it's that the boys who are left SUCK. Lee is pitchy as hell and all his songs sound the same because of his gross Nickleback voice, Aaron struggles to even hit the majority of the notes he sings (and misses half the time) and has zero originality, Michael has a nice tone but is only good with one genre (R&B) and comes off as a giant douchebag, and Casey is riding on his guitar playing and good looks (ugh, I do not think he's attractive) because his vocal range is very limited and originality is also nowhere to be found. How these guys made it so far and continue to be praised by the judges completely baffles me. Like, really, America? Really?

Crystal has more talent in her pinky finger than any of them. She has good tone, good range, plays her instrument well and has lots of originality. There's no reason why after auditioning thousands of singers the Top 12 shouldn't be composed entirely of people as talented as her. The Crystal Bowersoxes and Adam Lamberts of the competition shouldn't be so suprisingly good, they should be the norm.

Anyway, I was a little worried about Crystal's chances of winning but she wasn't even in the bottom 3 after whatever the hell that song was this week, so I think she'll take the whole thing. Poor Siobhan has been so wildly inconsistent and mouthy with the judges that I'm particularly sad to see her go.
