    I prefer Blake - love his style, originalty and respect his talent (that arrangement of the Bon Jovi song was excellent). But Jordin was a good choice I think. She has a good voice is sweet and pretty and I think she'll do well. Plus it can't have hurt that she looks like a normal teenager!

    I think we did well without this raunchy sexiness that pervades the music industry. I'm a 25 avid music listener and am TIRED of it. And Sanjaya was the worst thing to happen to that show...a boring & tiresome gimmick with hardly any talent.
