Big Mike and his baby drama got on my nerves a lot before the live shows, but I'm not going to deny that the boy can sing. I just don't think he'll win this. (Lee has a tiny aura of awesomeness around him; mostly I'm just curious what he'll do each week.)

whereas with Crystal no matter how many times the judges tell her they adore her just the way she is I just feel like when she wins they'll be switching things up all over the damn place on her, and I get the impression she knows it.
Oh yeah, you're so right about that. Sometimes the runner-up position is the better spot, cause you can have (a bit) more creative freedom. I'm just curious if America will keep voting for Siobhan and Crystal; after tonight, all bets are off.

Watch Aaron win this season.
