AI Season 8 Who's your BET?

I have been watching American Idol just only last season but I'm pretty much updated of the past, past seasons of this huge American singing contest. Last year my personal bet was David Cook and luckily he took home the crown (but in fairness, Archuleta is really good and very commercial)

This season 8 I wonder who's your personal bets...? Me? i have few "hopefully strong contenders" for top 5:

Lil Rounds: her name itself is already an advantage because of it's high-recall factor. Well this woman can really sing like a pro and last night she sang almost like Mary J. Blinge. Her advantage: BIG soulful voice and big butt???just kidding...

Scott Macintyre: He may have the lack in vision but it doesn't stop Scott to pursue his dream and passion: to sing from his heart. He may not have the perfect vocals but he sure sings from his heart which i think the real essence of good singing. His advantage: Not the disability but his genuine musical talent will win America's heart.

Kris Allen: My first personal favorite. I am such a fan of his rendition of Man In The Mirror a Michael Jackson original. I was blew by his performance, his vocals and his charming face...whew! lolz! The name has a good recall too! I remember Paula Abduls comment on his performance: You nailed it! Yun na! I hope we could stay longer or if not win the contest! hahaha!
Danny Gokey: I have been reading many good reviews about this guy on our local blogsites. His performance of Mariah Carey's Hero is excellent and inspiring. However i am not blown away by his performance. But still i consider him a strong contender for this season and i guess he can make it through atleast on the top 5 or more...Well... he's also cute btw!...

Adam Lambert: His rendition of Satisfaction is a blast. The judges was blown by his wide crazy vocal range, very rare for male singers to have that wide. It's too early to judge him wether or not he can sing from the heart. I guess it's really important that when you sing, you sing it from the heart and the message of the song will really be felt. His advantage: great vocal calisthenics and good looks too!

Actually there are some other equally talented contenders that may able to make it through but i have to choose only five..Now, list down your favorites too!
