Week Three WINNER - Krista Mulpagano

Ohhhh Krista my dear. OK here let me set the tone for you if you weren't there. This chick - can't be much older than 21 - walks on stage. Quiet as a mouse, shy looking, and wearing a Victoria's Secret hoodie and jeans. It was a glittery hoodie but you get my drift. Super adorable girl, but I was pretty sure I knew what was gonna' come out of her pretty lil' mouth.

Well, I sure can be a Knowitall sometimes. I concede.

Krista is the caliber of singer that I would take with me to sing in Vegas in September. I'd be PROUD to have discovered this little girl. She can work on her Stage Presence a little, and next time I hope she dresses for it -- but when you have a voice like Krista's, your vocal scores will carry you a little bit if you falter a little on presence or attire. I'm not saying if you can sing well, you can get away with not moving at all..... she moved.... but without that superior voice she may not have beaten Mr. Cheevers. She sang "You Were Meant For Me" by Jewel, and I've said it twice and will say it again here... SHE SANG THAT SONG BETTER THAN JEWEL EVER SANG IT. Krista, we will see you at the Finals February 16th and we are all looking VERY forward to it!
