Who is your vote for the next American Idol this 2011 season?

I love watching AI this season cause I have watched them from the start, meaning I knew the stories of the different contestants based on what they show in the television and that makes watching it more interesting cause by knowing them it gave me an inspiration to a certain level. I think all of the participants especially those who made it as finalist are very much deserving. I don't have a particular bet at the moment maybe I'd still wait for the top 12 before making my choice, but as early as now I'm rooting for Thea Megia and Clint Gamboa since they have a Pinoy blood running into their system and I also like Scotty McCreery. But I might change my mind so let us see what happens next... :)

i was sorry to hear about James going home. he should have been in the top three. i would like to see scotty mccreary win for this year 2011.

I like James as well. I think this boy needs a break and he is a good ambassador for all those kids that have some sort of medical condition. I think he has Turets Syndrome. I am in Australia and not up to you guys yet so I am not going to read the rest of the posts here as I do not know who in in the top 10 . Cheers Sue

dude dont vote because he has gone through so much adversity. seriously, thats like give him pity. i also vote for james durbin. he is talented! i like him he has great voice. but... i think lauren alena will be the winner in this season. she's... well i say so talented.

My choice is rather unpopular but I will go with Paul for the boys since I think he has a unique voice that will set him apart, plus he has great performance quality that makes him look like a star already. For the girls, I like Lauren and Thia because she has a lovely voice and of course, she's a Filipina :)

I do have a few people in mind. But I really like that girl Thia and Lauren and for the guys, Brett, Casey and Paul. I'm still undecided who will win. It's still early at this point of the competition but definitely a lot of them are really good.
