Amanda Brown’s “Stars” was an incredible performance, but some of her song choices had much to be desired. Cassadee, on the other hand, had a heartfelt connection to many of the lyrics of her songs, and her live performances were clearly better then her recordings. Her song choices with Blake’s influence were brilliant. I think the two best artists were Amanda and Cassadee, and I also think it’s a mistake to think that Cassadee will only have a 2-year career. I think she’s going to be around for a long long time.

It is a joke that Amanda was voted off she was the best “voice” on the show period and she looks the part too. Cassadee is a ripoff of Avril Lavigne yes she can sing other people’s music pretty well but she has no staying power and apparently could not make it before. I wish these shows were really about music but it seems to be about something else. The best music is stuff you don’t even hear on the radio!!!!

Amanda is very good and should have been in the top 4 over Nicholas or Terry but no way has she been better or more consistent than Cassadee.
When the show is over Cassadee will have a much better career going forward than the rest.

Amanda should not have been sent home last week. As far as performances go, and just by rating last monday’s performances, I think Melanie and Terry should have went home. I mean Melanie sang a comercial jingle for goodness sakes and Terry missed a lot of notes. I love Terry but I think Amanda is more versatile has a wider range and offers an element of surprise. She is simply amazing and is a singer, a performer, an entertainer…Amandda is the whole package. I adore Ceelo’s nickname for her; My favorite mistake… poetic justice at it’s best. I know he was as shocked as the audience to see Amanda go and just as upset.

Totaly agree with the amada lovers. It doesnt matter lets vote for the guys, dont let cassidy when. Terri, also i feel that we should drop there rating really low because of what they did. This is horrible that she is gone, she like another beyonce. So lets try an drop the rating never watching this show ever again just voting for Terri

I agree with Jonathon – I think the real problem here wasn’t the voting – it’s the itunes multiplier. It’s going to cause an issue where people will now have to pick songs that will sell well on itunes vs just great performances.

Because honestly Amanda was by far my favorite (and let’s be real I don’t think she sang off key once all season) BUT do I really want Natural Woman or Here I Go Again on my iPod? Not so much. I bought Here I Go Again b/c I liked her take on it but in general it’s not what I’d download. (Stars, Dream On, and Someone Like You – different story). (Also unrelatedly the studio recording of Melanie’s Seven Nation Army is SICK). SO yes let it count as a vote if you download it but it certainly shouldn’t be multiplied by 10 because it hit top 10.

Also – Christina must just be jealous because Amanda Brown is seriously talented and picked Adam over her. Not to mention Christina’s career is tanking and Amanda’s is about to take off.

Lastly, Amanda’s probably better off not making the finals – she’ll probably get a better record deal this way.

The vote multiplier is rediculous. I don’t want to spend money on covers. 10x the vote is way too much. 25% increase is much more reasonable. Now to win you have to choose a song that people will want to buy more than show off vocal talent.

The last two left should have been Trevin and Amanda Brown. Week after week they’ve blown the competition away. I can’t believe more people voted for Nicholas David than Amanda Brown. My jaw dropped when they let her go.

Amanda Brown was and is the all around entertainer. Not just the superb vocals but the whole package. Why on earth she was voted off is beyond me.
Like Aien said “Were the votes counted properly?” Christina going on and on about Cassadee Pope was too much for this viewer. Anyone watching the show knows that Christina constantly came out with negative comments regarding Amanda. Maybe the Christina fans just followed what Christina thought were good vocals. She sure does like Cassadee Pope. Just another pop singer to me. One of hundreds.
So sad Amanda is gone
