המתחרים מהמרים לגבי מי יזכה השנה
מתוך הניו יורק פוסט- תרגום קצרצר: קארי, אנתוני ונאדיה מהמרים על מאריו. קונסי וסקוט מהמרים על בו. מקיילה מהמרת על נאדיה. אנואר מהמר על מקיילה. ג'סיקה מהמרת על אנואר. March 11, 2005 -- IF you ask the people who really know — the 12 fi nalists on this year's "American Idol" — they'll tell you the winner will be . . . Mario Vasquez. Minutes after the final 12 were chosen on national TV, we asked the contestants whom — besides themselves — they thought would come out on top of this year's competition. Every year the producers say this is the best "American Idol" field yet. But at the halfway mark of this year's "Idol," it really does seem true. The voting among the 12 finalists confirms that any one of five or six singers could be the next "Idol." "If I had to pick, Mario," says Carrie Underwood, the blond finalist with a strong preference for country music. "Mario's great," says Anthony Federov. "But I really don't want to answerthat question." (Too late, Anthony.) Nadia Turner, the Miami torch singer with the smokey voice and an early favorite, also picks Mario. Who does Mario like? "I'm not gonna answer that," he says. "I think anyone here can do it." There is a three-way tie for the No. 2 spot among: * Rocker Bo Bice ("He's always consistent, even in his lesser performances," says finalist Scott Savol). * New Jersey music teacher Anwar Robinson ("He's so humble," says finalist Jessica Sierra.) * The exuberant Mikalah Gordon (who is Anwar's choice). Interestingly, Mikalah picks Nadia. And Constantine Maroulis, the Long Island rock singer whose toe-to-toe competition with fellow long-hair Bo is one of the show's most promising stories, picks — drum roll, please — Bo to be the next "American Idol."
