Whitney,

Please don't take this as criticism because it isn't. I am a HUGE fan of yours. I believe it will come down to You and Angela Hacker or DSR. The only thing that they do that you don't is the awesome connection they have with the audience and camera. The audience there is important, but the television audience is VERY VERY important because we are the ones voting. Whatever you are singing about, portray that to the camera, make us feel what you are singing about. When Angela sings, she has these little facial expressions that make me feel like she is really feeling what she is singing about and I feel it too, she is quite a bit older than you and with age comes knowledge, but you have been singing forever, I remember you in talent contests in school. I was about 7 years older than you but I was there at the appreciation days and in talent contests in school, and heard you at river days in Saltillo, TN...I know you are THE MOST TALENTED person up there....you can win this whole thing...but just make that connection....make us feel the emotion you are singing about and you will bag this thing...Keep it up, girl, you are AWESOME!

Great suggestion. Constructive criticism is a wonderful thing. Don't be afraid to critique who you want to win. Your just helping her. I totally agree, that's the only thing I see lacking. I'm honestly a huge DSR fan, but I'm right with you on who it will come down too- DSR, Whitney or Angela.

That is great advice. Whitney...please sing your "Skinny Dippin" song. I think it is your original because I have never heard it anywhere else. That song is what made me like you so much. Good Luck next week and I hope you make it!
