Considering the state of popular music today, I'm not surprised by idiotic opinions. Carly, quite simply, has a big mouth and no soul. Syeesha is no Melinda (last season)- her performance was charming but her voice is thin, pitchy, and grating. Jason needs to detox with some coffee. The two Davids, I must admit- are talented and "the ones to beat." However, like ALW, I'm a big fan of Brooke's- check out her studio recordings on iTunes, and ignore the stumble (which is not cool at this stage of the competition): she has the most affecting, soulful voice and doesn't need gimmicks, theatrics, or belting to move you (me).

Regarding the tattoos- I don't care how many people have them or where- they are painful to look at, demeaning to the natural artistry of the human body. Self-mutilation, a tacky, decadent expression of phony hipness that in actuality, for most people, is actually a form of conformity. K-Mart chic.
