My Picks for the Final Fab Four on American Idol

Why can't we just skip a few weeks and go directly to the only four contestants who have consistently showed they get it and should indeed be recording artists?

Since the very first show, we have seen Crystal Bowersox out perform all others. She has known who she is and what she does from the very beginning. This is your A.I. winner right here!

Next, in order of how I see them winning, will be Michael Lynche, in spite of the fact that he would have been gone if not saved by the judges. The save is actually what will wake his followers to call and vote for him every week.

Third, and this is a close call for second place, will be Casey James. Casey is as natural on stage as Bowersox. He knows what is does. He has gained confidence that he needed and has marked his place as a recording artist. I believe Casey would could have claimed second place, if it were not for the Michael save.

Fourth from the top is Lee Dewyze. Lee is the last only remaining natural talent, but he did not have the inner confidence as quickly as the others. Lee will find his place as a recording artist and who knows, he may out sell all the others once he begins his own career.

The remaining contestants are talented, with the exception of perhaps one or two, and will likely go on to a degree of personal success, primarily due to being in the top ten finalists on A.I. However, they lack the true natural talent that the top four have. They possess talent, but have no idea who they are or why they are there, other than wanting to be successful.

It should be fun, once we only have these top four, to watch them push themselves to their highest levels of performance as they feel the competition.

No matter who wins, these four will continue to bring us good music from this point on.
