Bo Bice vs. Carrie Underwood

Wow. Are you guys excited or what?

The odds-makers are now placing Bo Bice as the winner, although its a close race with Carrie Underwood. I think it's more 50/50, only Fox knows for sure on soooo many levels.

Both Bo and Carrie are also being rumored to be sick leading to tonight's show! Carrie has allergies and Bo has a sore throat. I hope they get better! It cannot be croak Idol tonight.

My own tracking on this site shows that interest in Bo has climbed significantly and is now neck and neck with Carrie. Carrie still leads in search requests overall but only slightly. Overwhelmingly however, more Bo fans want to listen to his songs. So it is apparent that there are new fans watching the show right now leading to tonight who want to listen to what this Bo guy is all about. Now that's not from thin air. I may have unreliable and skewed data but at least its something I can base judgment on. Haha. Which only cements my other theory that Carrie fans have been here for the long haul and know what to do. I don't know if the "new" Bo fans will realize that voting 10 times for him will be enough (which it isn't).

There will be many lines open, so hopefully, not too many busy signals. If you really want your Idol to win, then vote non-stop until the bitter end. It's the only way to go. Good luck!

P.S. Wednesday is shaping up to be a great day for all the fans, as the Idols will be singing with some famous people. We know about Lynyrd Skynyrd and Rascall Flatts, but Anthony with Kenny G? Really? Constantine with Aerosmith? Is this true? I'm excited!
