I have been watching this show since the second season. Some of my favorites have been Brad Cotter, Chris Young, and Casey Rivers. I just wanted to say that for me, I think that you have been the most likeable contestant that I have ever seen on the show. You always seem to have such a happy and positive outlook on things. Even last week when the judges were negative about your performance.
You have been my favorite from the beginning and I must admit that last week was not my favorite performance from you but, it was by no means bad or disappointing(Randy's comment). I could not believe the way that the judges reacted. I thought they were so unprofesional. You were not off key, pitchy, out of tune etc... like some of the other contestants have been every week and they have been getting positive remarks all season.
Don't pay any attention to the comments made about you and the way you act about your family. (I'm sure that you don't) As a 30 yr old happily married wife and mother, your attitude and pride that you have for your family and marriage is so refreshing. Your wife and daughter are beautiful and I look forward to seeing them every week on the show. Just as I look forward to seeing all of the contestants families supporting them each week. (The week that Zac's dad was so emotional when Zac sang The Whiskey song I thought it was terrible how some of the people were bashing him for his emotions.) Family is one of the most important things in life with god being the most important thing. Your love for god and your family is very evident in your life and these are the things that will carry you through the rest of this roller coaster ride.
WIth all this being said I just wanted to wish you luck. I hope that you win in the end. I love Zac and Angela also. I think that they also have amazing voices. But from the beginning of the show I have just thought that there was something so different and refreshing about you.
So GOOD LUCK and when your CD comes out I wll be one of the firsts to buy it.
