Why pick Haely? The black-Taylor-Swift thing could really go somewhere, she's super likeable, and she could work the underdog thing hard.
Why not? Strictly speaking, she's not the best singer of the bunch. But again, I point to one Ms. Swift and wonder how much that matters?
Favorite artists/inspirations: Taylor Swift, Ron Pope, Katy Perry
Why pick Didi? Her Hollywood week rendition of Kara DioGuardi's "Terrified" was a high mark for the whole field. She's had mad screen time and a strong personal story (the dead BFF).
Why not? The personal story has reached the saturation point, and the frequent crying jags turn people againt you in a hurry.
Favorite artists/inspirations: Paul McCartney, Patti Griffin, Adele, Norah Jones, Sheryl Crow, Joni Mitchell, Sarah McLachlan, Amy Winehouse, John Lennon

Why pick Crystal? She actually improved upon Sheryl Crow's "If It Makes You Happy" in Hollywood and has thus far been pretty flawless, vocally.
Why not? Yes, it's shallow, but ... the hair. And ... the teeth. I'm saying! A cut and some whitening strips might not be the worst thing for her.
Favorite artists/inspirations: Ray LaMontagne, Glen Hansard, Melissa etheridge, Janis Joplin, Jewel, Tracy Chapman

Why pick Casey? He's gotten mad screen time for both his Kara-baiting good looks AND for his strong bleusy vocals and musicianship.
Why not? The Kara's-plaything thing is gonna wear on people, if it hasn't already.
Favorite artists/inspirations: Doyle Bramhall II, Mindy Smith, other people he's sure you've never heard of

Why pick Ashley? She has the self-possession of a Berklee College of Music student (which she is) and probably has the best shot of emerging from the pack of previously-unknowns.
Why not? We've seen very little of her, and she doesn't have a hook.
Favorite artists/inspirations: Beyonce, Whitney Houston, John Mayer, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder
Why pick Andrew? He's been a frontrunner ever since his audition, but especially since his cover of Paula Abdul's "Straight Up."
Why not? We've yet to really see how someone from his demo (neck-tatted Latino) does with the middle-of-the-middle Idol audience.
Favorite artists/inspirations: Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Jamie Foxx, Adele, Beyonce, Janet Jackson, Alicia Keys
Why pick Alex? Because you feel bad that he was subjected to Mary Powers's group round apocalypse.
Why not? Because he centered his entire Hollywood campaign around a ukelele.
Favorite artists/inspirations: The Beatles, Jim Morrison, Led Zeppelin, James Taylor, John Mayer, Colbie Callait

Why pick Aaron? He killed his audition song, "The Climb," and he's exactly the kind of fresh-faced, "I wanna adopt him" kid who always goes far on this show.
Why not? He gave a substandard performance of "Angel" in Hollywood week.
Favorite artists/inspirations: Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, Celine Dion
