I respect your opinion. I think the problem is, is that American Idol is big on “big voices.” Anyone that doesn’t have that big voice or wide range is considered beneath those that do. Every winner pretty much has a voice that soars. What I like about Haley is that she has a good range but she never over sings the songs. I actually do find a lot of emotion in her performances, mainly “Missing You” and “True Colors.” I find her to be completely humble and genuine, much like Elliott Yamin from last year. I’m drawn to people like that. I know Haley won’t win but I don’t care about that, I like her.
