Amanda Overmeyer

Anybody else out there like Amanda? I think She Rocks!!!! I hope it's her and Brooke in the finale. With Brooke winning of course.

I like Amanda. Not as much as I did in the beginning, but I still like her. I like rocker chicks and we don't see enough of them on Idol.

I actually tend to not like rocker chicks but for some reason find Overmeyer very interesting (in a good way).
Anyway there isn't that many of them. Last year had Gina, so at least they had a rocker. Where as last year they had nobody country until Phil switched over in his last week or so. I think they need more country guys. Bucky was the only country guy that was country while he was on the show that I can think of. Now only if the country guys from the auditions made it. One was a really Randy Travis/George Jones/Johnny Cash type of singer. He made it to the top 50 but obviously didn't make it to the top 24.

Yes. Country Guys. There were many in the auditions that were good, but surprisingly never made it kinda bummed about that.

I don't usually like rocker chicks or rockers so much, it depends, but I do like Amanda but just not as crazy about her as I was in the beginning.

Here's an article I found on Amanda

When Ryan Seacrest revealed that Amanda Overmyer was going home, Amanda handled the news with calmness and gracefulness. When asked about her good natured way of handling elimination, Amanda said, “Yesterday wasn’t the most dramatic thing that’s happened in my life. You know, I just got voted off of a TV show, and I was thankful to be there and privileged to have that many millions of Americans vote for me just to keep me on until eleven, and for someone like me who’s completely different. You know, I’m kind of out of a different mold than everyone else in the competition. I found that very warming that I had that much support.”

Even though Amanda Overmyer gained the label of being the rocker chick, she didn’t feel that helped her in the competition. Amanda explained, “Being my own personal style helped me as far as being the quintessential rocker chick I guess, but as far as the competition itself, I wouldn’t say that it necessarily helped me, because young kids are not going to relate to me as easily as they do the other ones.”
