I missed why they had such (relatively) obscure songs. Also, maybe it was our reception, but I just could not hear Bo sing. I could hear the music louder than his vocals.

Leads me to my conspiracy theory - it was fixed to make Carrie win. Her performances were flawless and especially the third song…like Simon said, she may have done enough to win it all.

I on the other hand feel that Bo was made to give it up. His life is set anyway. Not much to lose.

Another thing that fits with my theory - someone on the radio pointed out that the American Idol CD has Carrie’s song listed first, followed by Bo, and then Vonzel, etc. Is there something we don’t know that the Fox execs do??
