My picks for the one being voted off today are:

Scott
Megan
Kris

And they picked.....Alexis Grace...agreed with that absolutely!!!!! She was awful...her last performance was such a desperation performance...it was sad. I felt really bad for her.

It was amazing after watching the performances on Tuesday, that there aren't a lot of really good vocals this year...

That Adam is psycho...his version of ring of fire gave me the absolute creeps. Zoe started crying...lol

Yes, he is Spirit filled. And his wife just died 8 weeks before the competition started, so he's been through a lot. Also, the oil rig guy from TX is from Pentecostal roots - not sure what church he goes to now, but someone said he leads worship too. His mom is definitely Pentecostal!

I meant to ask, what was the cause of her death? She couldn't've possibly been much older than 30...that is awful!

I don't know how she died; I don't remember them saying. I know the church that he's at, but not well. I actually knew the pastor who was there before who is now in Phoenix, and it looks like his son now has the Milwaukee church.

I read an article online a few days ago that claimed that it was. That the winner had already been picked. Who knows?

Well, I believe that's shot down now because one of the top four was Alexis Grace.

I think I read somewhere that she had a heart conditoin. She may have died during surgery if memory serves me correct.

I know that he has a foundation set up in her honor. I think it is based here in Nashville.

He seems like a great guy. I am predicting he will come in 2nd but will have a bigger career than the winner.

Here's a link for those that like Danny -

Here's some info about his wife too:
Personal life
Gokey started singing with his family in church but stated he would rather record mainstream music than perform strictly contemporary Christian music.[3] He has four sisters and a brother.[4]

In July 2008, four weeks before he auditioned for American Idol, his wife, Sophia underwent routine surgery for congenital heart disease.[5][6] It was the third surgery she had but she died from complications.[5][7] They had been together for eleven years and he credits her for his success.[8] Sophia was a fan of the show and encouraged Gokey to be a contestant.[5] He started a foundation in her name with some of her family members who are also musicians. The foundation includes a program to provide donated musical instruments to students.

Gokey has acknowledged the influence of Jeffrey and Robin Pruitt, the pastors of the church he works at, and said his faith is "key to who I am."[9]

Didn't Moses deliver a memo formerly known as the LAW with a line item opposing "IDOLS"? Now we have gossip about idols?

What is the "American Idol"?
