But Crystal has the strongest voice and the most stage presence.  She never
falters and is a vocal powerhouse....Plus, she¹s never off key.  For me
she¹s the most talented of the lot and she showed it at the beginning of
this competition.  Lee is like a million other singers.  He has no
distinction and  does he have the personality  for the long haul.  Imagine
hearing him on the radio.  Would you ever recognize his voice or his sound.
I think now.  Totally forgettable.  Crystal¹s so much better‹but she won¹t
win!

Okay, I have to put in my two cents. Casey is out.  Cute, but doesn't have
the pipes.  However, I see a great future for him as a studio musician or
writer.  He is a remarkably talented guitarist.  

Lee is interesting, but his range is limited.  I think he has tons of
potential, but needs to explore different styles beyond the rasp.  His
performance of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" was one thing, and the
arrangement quite another.  That arrangement made light of a very powerful
song.  It was like adding excessive butter and sauce to vegetables that are
sufficiently succulent on their own, thank you very much.  The arrangement
was distracting.  Perhaps someone got confused with Handel?  

Crystal Bowersox 's delivery of "Maybe I'm Amazed" was fabulous.  She has
demonstrated an ability to tackle a variety of styles.  I was not
particularly impressed by her rendition of "Come Through my Window," and the
harmonica didn't add to the the performance in any fashion.  I think she has
the superior chops of these three, but neither one is a Daughtry or Kelly
Clarkson.
