Top 4 (1-4) Predictions on Amer.Idol

So I am making my prediction for the Top contestants of Amer.Idol 7. In order I think it will be:

1. David Cook
2. David Archuleta
3. / 4. Brooke White OR Carly Smithson*

1st off I said this before the season started, I believed that a male contestant would win this season. I think David C. will win because he has the most unique talent this year out of all of the guys. Plus there hasn't been a rock (genre) winner yet. But there has been a pop rock, gospel, R&B, country, soul, and pop winner. It just would fit perfectly, if you ask me. I think in a winner sense he may deserve it more so than David A., he's been doing so well, yes because he has a great voice, but also because he is this seasons "popular vote." If David A. becomes a runner up he still will become widely famous, popularly likely too. Though a mexican-american hasn't won yet. Hmmm... Makes you think! I really have liked Brooke since day 1 when I saw her, and I'd love for her to win, but again, it's a male winner year. Her style is unique, pure, and she'd be a great role model. I am putting Carly up there with her, since she has been named the best vocalist female wise sine what the top 50, 24... i mean she's good, but to me she really had her chance before. I really would be mad if she won, but again it's a male winner year.

* I am sort of torn between Brooke and Carly when it comes to the top 4, I want Brooke to place 3rd, because I like her style more than Carly's. That is why it has the slash between the two names above.

Bottom 8 (4-8) WANT Predictions on Amer.Idol

I suppose the bottom contestants of the top 8, of American Idol 7, in order to me should be (yes this is an order of how much I like these 4 contestants basically):

5. Jason Castro
6. Michael Johns
7. Syesha Mercado
8. Kristy Lee Cook

I really like Jason Castro's simplicity and musical style. Although vocally his voice is the weakest out of maybe all of the contestants, except I'm not sure how strong Kristy's is, so I guess he has her beat! I wouldn't mind him going even further in the competition but I think saying Top 5 for him, may be a bit past his range (no pun intended)! Michael may easily take over the 5th position. Then who knows really. Kristy and Syesha (Kristy more) have had a ton of bottom 3 appearances. VFTW may really be having a pull over her stay. because Kristy should have been gone at 12, shoot 16! Asia'h was way better than her. Regardless yes that is where I believe the contest should be heading, of course if I had my way! Poor Ramiele, I wanted her to be a part of Mariah Carey week : ( -though her song choice wasn't good, seriously, the only song I think fit her well, was "Alone." And the judges (Simon) Didn't even like that much!
