These two guys (John Stevens & JPL) were grouped with Fantasia in Sundays show, so it's obvious that they are both getting heaps of votes. To me the novelty of having them in the finals is wearing a bit thin - yes they have talent that in time they could improve on, but there's something missing with both of them. I sort of see that for some they have appeal outside of their singing abilities but their performances are woeful - especially compared to the likes of Fantasia/Latoya/Jennifer/George.
Each week when the bottom three are announced, I am surprised that neither of them are there - is it just me who can't work it out ? Or is there something I just can't see that others can ?

somebody is spending up big voting - must be every irish person in USA for JS because he definitely doesn't deserve it and he knows it. It's all comparative isn't it - jjpl isn't very cute, but if cuteness is what you want - he has no competition. it's all pretty boring.

JPL is extremely talented and I have been his biggest supporter since watching his first audition. I see something in him and I think he is just fantastic, extremely unique. He deserves to be where he is. I've noticed a few people who used to be huge supporters of his slightly losing interest lately because he isn't doing his "crazy dancing" anymore as the judges told him not to. However, when it comes to the judges they keep changing their minds and now they're basically saying that they think his "crazy dancing" was better. I think that this Sunday A LOT of his old supporters are gonna be right behind him again. Know why? I just downloaded his performance for this week and it looks like the old JPL is coming back... ;D ;D ;D

I thought 'She Believes in Me' was a good move, just showing off his voice, but 'Rocket Man'... nice song, but not very exciting. I was hoping for him to belt out 'That's Why They Call It The Blues' of something like that. Crazy dancing this week? sounds good.  I'm still hoping for air guitars at some stage. |

sounds like the 'Guy' scenario again - 'adorable' played a big part in his win, but of course guy is 1,00000000 times better!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Thanks everyone - it's good to put a query out there and not be shot down in flames by fans of JPL & JS. As I said I can see the appeal they would have - maybe a bit like Millsy on AI. Frodo, I agree - Guy is adorable +++++ plus all that great talent !  |

I have been a JPL fan since I saw him asleep at the auditions, lol! He certainly has that X factor. And I love his voice. But...I have to agree that when you get right down to it, he is not right up there with the likes of Fantasia, Latoya, etc. I think he has the potential to be, but he just isn't there yet. I agree wholeheartedly with Paulas comment last week that he hasn't yet found his style. But I still find him dreadfully appealing! John Stevens I also had a soft spot for, since I saw him at the auditions. He has a great voice for singing golden oldies, and I applaud him for doing somethign different. However, he should have left last week, if not the week before. He is well and truly out of his league now.  |

I think JPL is like a young Ben Folds, or an older Ben Kweller.
