AI is a machine and in it to make money from viewers & ticket/album sales, they want Lee...and out of the 3, he's clearly the most marketable.
I feel the exact same way. Simon even said something along the lines of, "You were working in a paint store, just waiting to catch a break." Like we are supposed to pity him because he was working in a paint store. Everyone has a story, yet they only want to hype up Lee's.

Personally, I think Chrystal has as good of/better of a story. Small town girl performing in the local pub who wants to make it for her child.

How badly does Crystal actually want to "make it" though? Didn't she already try to leave the show b/c it wasn't for her?

If any of the last three will sell records and concerts it will be lee.

Crystal is good...but she is a person youd love to sit back and relax, in a small venue, and watch her perfrom and enjoy it but not on a wide range of music and big concerts.

I think lee is very good. I said early on to a friend when we pick our favs that if he gets a personality he could be a star.

Not surprised that Casey went home. I think Lee will take all of his votes, and Lee will win.

I know that the winner has a preagreed to contract with the record label and everyone else is signed on for a year or whatever it takes for the concert tour, but I've always heard it's better to finish 2nd due to being able to negotiate your own contract.

I wonder if that factors into the contestants minds at all?

He would also have to get a voice as well. Seriously, he's not that good.
