Nicole will not win.
Chris and Casey are 100% better

Even if she doesn't win first place, she still has 2nd or 3rd and that's nothing to gripe about. No matter what, she is still a winner with all of us here. So...if you don't like her, stay off her board.

AMEN to that!

Nicole,

I'm so sorry that several people have been so ugly and has bad things to say. But I wish all three of you the best of luck how ever the end turns out. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

Casey fan

she shuld have got the boot weeks ago

true how true!!!

Best of luck to Nicole,

can't wait for the summer tour, and to see you open for Lonestar in May!

You Rock!

Ok, I am trying my best to be nice to Nicole and her fans! Nicole may have a chance at winning at this point who the heck knows, but Nicole has got this far, so I guess she must have something!

I am sorry too that people have no class and keep posting mean things.

That wasnt mean was it? Ok here I will fix ,Nicole must have something that I am not seeing, her fans seem to like her! She is just not my kind of singer, but I give her credit for trying and getting this far!

Koodos to you...you have been a very classy poster...while we know you are not a Nicole fan...you have handled yourself with dignity...very appreciated by at least one Nicole fan!

I DON'T KNOW I THOUGHT THAT THE WRONG PERSON WON LAST YEAR,AND SHE LIVES NEAR A PRETTY BIG CITY. THOUGH i DO AGREE CRIS AND CASEY ARE 100%BETTER

I do not understand why people have to be so hateful to anyone, it is completely uncalled for. If you don't like someone, that's fine, but why come to their "home" (online or otherwise) and be downright nasty? Why not just be quiet and go to the board of a person you do support and sing their praises, without tearing someone else down, instead?

I am so sorry for all of Nicole's fans who have had to put up with all of this abuse. By the way, she absolutely ROCKED "Sin Wagon"! The Dixie Chicks themselves couldn't have done it any better.

Meri:
I certainly agree with you. I can't image how painful it must be to read this board! My mama would have slapped me into the middle of next week for talking to someone the way some folks here have talked!

I understand being disappointed if your favorite is voted off. I will be heartsick if he doesn't win, but I Won't be mean and ugly! That would be black-eye for me and my favorite.

Whether my favorite wins or not, I believe he will one day have a National Recording contract. I want his fans to be known as Fanatical, Enthusiastic, maybe even, Wild and Crazy Devotees. But above all, I want his fans to be known as kind, respectful and just good folks!

I wish Nicole the best. She deserves it, especially after being publicly abused.

I look forward to hearing all four of the top contestants on tour, 'cause I wouldn't miss it!

And Nicole...I've heard the Dixie Chicks perform Sin Wagon live...you nailed it!!! Congratulations!

What kind words you had to say. I know all of Nicole fans appreciate the positive comments since so many other people have said some really horrible things to say. All three deserve to be there. And it's each finalists fan base has got them to the final three. Good luck to ALL three FINALISTS!

I say "anything is possible"...They are our finalists and I respect each of them. They must have done something to get this far wouldn't you say?!!!

I hate that such "awful things" have to be said about any of the contestants. I think a lot of opinions ended up "crossing the line".

My best wishes to all 3! AND the final 4 when they go on tour this summer..should be pretty awesome.

I am a big Chris Young fan after having him on our TV show a couple years back. I am positive that Chris would NEVER talk about a fellow artist the way some here have talked about Nicole. In my humble opinion Nicole has a very good voice and a great stage presence, she is in the top THREE for those that are throwing insults!! I have no idea who will be the top vote getter tomorrow evening but I can tell you one thing, all three remaining artists are top notch. I feel that each one will be getting a contract from someone in the near future. OH, by the way, my Momma would have slapped me more silly than a run over dog had I spoken to someone the way some here have spoken about Nicole. Best of luck to all three finalists!

To say Nicole sounds likes the Dixie Chicks is not saying much.I Don't know how she made it this far. She is the worst female they had on here this season. I guess evereryone feels sorry for her because she is a mom

Obviously, there are MANY who feel differently from you. You are entitled to your opinion. I, for one, love her sound and style, and it has nothing to do with her being a mom. What I DO wish is that those of you who support another contestant didn't feel the need to try to pull others down in the process to give your support to another contestant. You like another contestant, well, good for you. Go support that contestant you like, but don't try to drag another contestant that is just as talented down in the process, it only looks bad on all of you that support that other contestant and actually looks bad on the person you're supporting. Yes, it's very true that YOU are reflecting badly on the person you are supporting. I have not been impressed with some of the actions that I've seen here on this board, and actually some of what I've witnessed in-person at the show. It shows nothing but low class, poor sportsmanship and lack of character. Unfortunately, I can't control any of it, but I CAN stand up for somebody that I believe in. I not only like Nicole's voice and her style of music, but I like the person that she is. She's got a lot of heart, and obviously, I'm not the only one who feels that way. Say what you will because there's not anything I can do about it, but just know that your hateful, hurtful words don't reflect badly on Nicole, the only person that looks bad here is YOU and others like you who feel the need to tear others down for their own benefit. Think about that for a while...

I wish ALL of the contestants good luck tonight. I hope they are all able to continue to follow their dreams and continue on their path of music. They all have something to share, and isn't it great that they are able to share their God-given talents with us all? I'm glad they've all had this opportunity to help their careers. I think they should be admired for the strength and determination they've shown to get them this far. Whether you like Nicole or someone else in the competition, realize that these are all just people like the rest of us who have been given a special talent and they all want a chance to pursue their dreams. If you like what they have to offer or not, just realize that art is always going to be subjective and one person's taste is not necessarily another's. We're all very different on what we like or dislike. However, appreciate the fact that all of these contestants have talent and would not be up there if they didn't. There are many factors that go into making a "star", not one particular quality. For each of these contestants, there are many people who see those qualities in them. Anyway, my point is to respect the feelings of others, don't try to drag down one contestant to give support to yours, just enjoy the music and the unique qualities that each of these contestants brings to the table. Respect the fact that they all have the guts and determination to get through the competition each week, and that they have each connected with people to be able to advance this far. I wish them ALL the best of luck tonight. Of course, I am pulling for Nicole, but even if she doesn't win, I will be happy for the winner and I know that they each have gained something really good from this experience. I just hope that they all are able to continue to follow their dreams, and don't they each deserve their chance without having to listen to all of the negativity? Isn't it hard enough on them all as it is to get up there and do what they are doing? Give them all respect because they DESERVE it and each of them DESERVE to be there.
