"And of course they're gonna prolly fuck Bo over once he makes it to the big stage and they make him sing R&B & Soul, Big Band, etc. and claim he can't "adapt" or some bullshit but I think he can...and I think he will and if they like him then as much as they like him now...they're gonna love it. I think he has the ability to bring it. He's got more experiance and knows his voice."

I couldn't agree more. Just from the bit we've heard thus far, I believe Bo has the ability to cross-over to both R&B and Country fairly easily. I think Showtunes or Barry Manilow-type songs will give him the most problem.

I think Constantine sucks vocally, but he's definitely the favorite of every woman watching over the age of 28 (although Bo may have won some of them over last night).

At this point, the competitions seems to be between Bo and Mario. It'll be interesting to see whether Mario can go outside of his disco saftey zone. I'm certain he'll do will with the showtune and pop formats, but Country may be problematic for him. And if Bo and Constantine stay in for a while, who knows, maybe they'll have a hard rock format one night? I'll bet Mario can't pull that off very convincingly.

What I fear is the "Show Choir"-like singing and dancing numbers that they make everyone do at the beginning of the finals. I reeeaaaallllyy do not want to see Bo wave his hands over his head singing "This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius..." Yikes.
