Ok, so here are my picks for the top 5 guys and girls this year. It’s really hard to pick the best girls – they’re all so good!

Guys:

• David Archuleta – He’s just so cute! And he’s got a great voice and personality. I went to elementary school with Michael Archuleta and I keep wondering if this is his son… he very well could be, based on age and looks.
• Michael Johns – He reminds me of Jim Morrison, only better, ‘cuz well… he’s alive hehehe. Seriously, though, he has a great voice and is very entertaining to watch. It’s a tie between him and David for who’s my favorite.
• Robbie Carrico – I’m glad there’s a good rocker in the mix.
• Jason Castro – Another cute one and very talented, too. I like his guitar playing.
• Chikezie – Trav & I disagree on this one, but I like his performance and personality a lot. He’s got star quality.

Girls:

• Brooke White – Far and away my favorite of the girls. She just radiates goodness and purity.
• Syesha Mercado – Great performance style makes her stand out for me.
• Alaina Whitaker – Another pure and innocent girl… what would we expect, she’s only 16!
• Carly Smithson – She has an awesome voice but I’m not sure she’s going to go very far in the competition – Simon doesn’t seem to like her much.
• Ramiele Malubay – Cute and sassy, she has real potential.

Based on the previous seasons, I’m sure my favorites will be gone soon… I guess I don’t fit in with the mainstream very well?!? Story of my life.
