Have had many of the Idol contestants from my neck of the woods.
Chris Daughtry from the next town over, Fantasia from our town, Clay Akin, Bucky Covington and Kelly Pickler less than hour away.
This is the first time in years with no Carolina contestants in the top 12.

I think when it gets down to the last 5 or 6, it's gonna be hard to let any of em go tho.
So much talent.

But the headbanger that I still am, I always go for the rockers. Hated Amanda left.
Loved Chris Daughtry and Bo Bice.
And even if David Cook doesn't win, I agree he'll make the most $$$...
