Do you really think she has a career in country? Maybe, but then, it doesn't seem as though people who like country have very discriminating tastes. Look at the fact that Carrie Underwood has done so well, which brings me to the second thing about your post that's painful... you actually like Carrie? Ugh. She is the Brittany Spears of country music. They should name a vacuum after her, she sucks so much. If she's one of the best that country has to offer, no wonder country is so terrible.
She'd be a lot more attractive if she kept her mouth closed; that much is certain.
Carrie has a pretty voice. She does not have a big voice. She doesn't have pipes like Reba McIntyre or Loretta Lynn, but I do like the quality of her voice. I think I like it because it is not "twangy".
Brooke's voice does push the "twangy" side, but if she were properly trained, she really does have potential. I was very impressed with her performance of "Let it Be". She has a beautiful natural vocal line.
That being said, she was NOT the best singer on the show, and I never expected her to win. But, yes, I do think she has a career if she wants one.
Carly should have taken it, hands down. I think the judges were harder on her because she did have a professional record that didn't do very well. That girl can sing! I would like to see her do Broadway. I think she would be amazing.
Of the singers that are left, Syesha has the most technically proficient voice. I don't understand why the judges are so hard on her. I have loved everything she has done. She could be the next Whitney.
I love David Cook because he's different. His voice has a very soulful, traditional rock quality.
And, even though we disagree, Schmo, I still love you! ;)
