I noticed that in the Judge Cuts they didn't get that much praise from the audience. I think it was because of the song choice. I'm Catholic.

There may be atheists but there are far more religious people watching the show. It's the religious people that took Jimmy Rose, Marty Brown, and Benton Blount infinitely further than they should have gone. They also saw Jesus whenever Kevin Skinner or Neal E. Boyd sang so that's how those two won.

But then again, the gospel choruses never seem to make it past the Quarterfinals. But who knows, maybe there's a deeper reason for that.

With Edgar it's up in the air. Early on I predicted they would make the Semis, at least.
