Doug, I don't think I'm fully invested in any one contestant at this point in the season as I have in past seasons (Clay and Kimberly Locke in season 2, Bo and Carrie in season 4, Taylor in season 5, and Melinda and Blake in season 6). Yes, there are some good singers this season but none, so far, have given me a performance that has said "damn, I'm gonna buy this person's CD when it comes out". Maybe everyone has been holding back a bit until the Top 12. I hope to see some fire next week.
