#7 - Chris Richardson

I've been going back and forth on Chris.  On one hand, he's a great performer on-stage and the crowd always loves him.  On the other hand, Chris seems incapable of singing well when he's really performing.  His voice does better when he remains stationary on stage, but we then lose out on the performing.  His voice isn't strong and his style of singing is annoying to me and probably polarizing to the audience.  Another elimination candidate.


#8 - Haley Scarnato

Haley is the survivor from last week's bottom two, and there's a good chance she may be back in that bottom two tomorrow.  I don't expect her to go home this week, though.  Typically, fans will rally around their favorite singer if they survived the bottom in the previous week, and I expect that to occur with Haley.  She has potential, and I don't think she's come close to reaching it, so you never know what could happen tonight.


#9 - Phil Stacey

I think Phil is the one who'll be heading home this week.  I thought Phil was pretty good last week, but after taking a gander around the internet, it becomes clear that Phil has a lot of haters out there.  He's too bland to win this thing.  I'm sorry, Phil, but it's just your time to go.
