I called all 4 cuts this week (ask Missy, I annoyed her with my "declaration" that I was right). In my opinion, those who got cut before this week wouldn't have made the Top 12 anyway.</p><p>I agree the "sing out" is too tough, especially for the girls and the guys who "wear they hearts on their sleeves." That said, it's a tough profession, so if you really want to make it, you better learn to handle singing in the roughest conditions.</p><p>Prediction for next week--Kristy Lee Cook or Chikezie go home (They were the guy and girl I thought <i>could</i> go home if one of the 4 cuts from last night made it through.</p>Matt F.Fri, 07 Mar 2008 18:50:40 -0000
