I wouldn't normally bring this up, but this year I have a relative that has made it to the top 16. Now I think he should have been sent home after the last performance, and I thought I'd get some unbiased input from y'all. His Name is "Sanjaya Malakar," and you can view his video here.

The contestant I think is likely to win is a fella named "Chris Richardson" ( go here to view ).

Thoughts?

I remember watching this young lad on the US Idol in the UK, when he says his sisters is better than he is. I disagreed and after watching his video I still stick by my guns, hopefully he will go all the way..

there is a lot of potential in that young man!!! i think his voice is to young for the old songs he sang. i appriciate the fact that he did Bennent and he did a fine job with what he has to work with at this young age but his voice isnt ready for that on a big scale like this show. i dont think he should never try again, i think he should strengthen his voice, get a little more confidence and try again. it was obvious he was nervous, or very shy or both and to be a star you cant be either. like i said, there is a great deal of potential there, he just needs a little tweeking and he'll be fine.
