    Lakisha had thrown "down the gauntlet" according to Simon Cowell. We got to vote for Houston's own.

    Of course, I am biased. :) She is a part of my church family, Abundant Life Cathedral.

    1-866-436-5712 to vote for Lakisha. Lines are open until 11:00 PM CST.

    Man, she tore it up tonight. I honestly thought no one was going to top that first chick, but she did.

    "heavyset"? So, would that make Chris Sligh "husky"?

    She just moved to Flint in July, but was a receptionist at our church and sang in the choir for years. We had a special viewing at the cathedral to view her. We still consider her family.

    She has an increadible singing voice. Blows everyone else out of the water. If she doesn't win, it will be a travesty.

    Was she this good when she went to your church?

    I knew the name sounded familiar when I read the thread title. Her voice was NOT good during Gimme the Mike. She cam in 2nd because she was CRAZY on stage and that made her live performance better. Her voice was all over the place, though. Based on the Youtube clip she is amazingly better.

    I think she has a great voice but really didn't do "I'm not going" the justice that she could have.

    She is good but Karen Clarke Sheard is a little bit of a stretch...for now.

    I love her story and humility and I truly hope she does well.
