Let's face it, if you're from the North, New England especially, Nashville doesn't take you seriously, even if you've made the commitment to live there. The fact that Tim's fans weren't allowed to vote is a DISGRACE !!!!!! WHY POST THE PHONE NUMBERS IF THE VOTE DOESN'T COUNT. SOMEBODY SHOULD SUE !!!!!!

Don't give up, Tim, the public knows talent when it sees it. Use this show as a springboard. You have a very important quality that is essential in a performer (and missing from many of the other contestants), you are likeable on stage. You also are genuine, without the "dig me, I'm great" look of many of your competitors. Hang in there, you'll make it!!!
