Crystal, Dewyze, and Casey have talent but lacking big time in personality and stage presence like Big Mike is a natural. He knows how to play the stage and audience and also with the best personality of any. Don't think any of the others have the charisma of the big guy Mike. Hope he wins.

Harry Connick did a superb job of coaching these novices and customized arrangements of songs for each contestant. The pop era of Sinatra songs sure improved their voices as well. Harry sure shared sooo much of his show-biz knowledge and experience as well as his expertise for the individual arrangements for each. He's amazing and such a great talent and of all the guest stars they had there, Harry worked with the group the most and it sure paid off with such an improvement over the dull and horrible songs before.
