Megan can sing, but are people going to be passionate about her a year from now.  I doubt it.  She doesn't have a memorable stage persona and isn't that interesting in interviews.

Crystal.

 

I think I liked Kree and Jena but I don’t remember them well enough. I liked what I saw of Katharine too as well as some of her post idol singles.

Let's be real though, people are rarely passionate about contestants on these shows for long, especially after the season ends.
