I've been watching when I'm home. (gotta go watch the tapes from last week) Have liked most of Will's performances... well wasn't so crazy about last night's but still good. he's definitely got the pipes... and gives it all. (I really appreciated that he's not much of a screamer)

Harriet, I actually enjoyed Will's performance of "Love Me Again" by John Newman. There are two reasons why Adam Levine chose that song for Will to perform. Reason #1: The song is right up Will's alley and it was an opportunity for Will to make the song his own. Reason #2: The song has enjoyed major success overseas, but hardly anyone in the USA knows of the song, so the song hasn't had a chance to blow up the charts here. Televising the song being performed by Will, was Universal's way of introducing it to the American market in the hopes that the song would chart here. Here is the music video of the original by John Newman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfihYWRWRTQ

Great to see your friend doing so well .. Must be even more exciting for you to watch, seeing your friend in the spotlight I didn't see it this week. Hope he's still in! What a great experience! Best, Joanne

My favorite contestant from the start has been Caroline Pennell. She sounds like Ellie Goulding, but she has her own unique style that I really like. She's different and doesn't hit you over the head with "oooo look at me, I'm going to hit a G5 as loud as possible just because I can" vocal acrobatics. It's just really relaxing and beautiful to listen to! I REALLY hope she wins, but we'll see..... Here's one of her recent performances of the song "Wake Me Up": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0MleFG5CDwAnd another of "We're Going To Be Friends": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPcDUSVGv-8Unfortunately, quirky people don't always make it very far. A few seasons ago, I really liked Lindsey Pavao but she didn't win.

I loooooooove Caroline Pennell!!! I'm a fan of hers for sure. I'm glad she's made it as far as she has, so far. :-) I was a bit surprised when she was in the bottom 3 last week and had to be twitter saved in order to continue moving forward.
Unfortunately, the decisions are so hard because they're all super talented in their own right. No matter who wins, or who goes home, from the way I see it, there aren't any losers here. It's really a tough competition when the votes could really go either way from week to week.
I am crossing my fingers for Will Champlin still. I want to see him make it as far as possible, but we shall see what America wants.
The suspense is killing me!!!
