ARE YOU KIDDING ME? CHLOE MAKES IT AND LUCY DOESN’T? GIVE ME A BREAK!
May 2nd, 2008 at 2:32 am
Chloe is too “off key” too often & simply too weird. With a little work she should eventually be heard from again.
Jesee”s like his Dad, a 1-trick pony who has little vocal range, but will probably produce a hit & fade away. A Rocker needs to produce a hit ballad to make it big. Didn’t see that.
Crosby writes his own music & has a CD out entitled “We All Go Home”, with his band “The Light”. Straight from his mouth, following a concert I went to see where he was the opening act for Joe Bonamassa , a superb Ryhtmn & Blues guitarist, he has gone OUT OF HIS WAY not to get his fathers help to kick in doors in the music biz. That’s why Kenny Loggins has’nt appeared till recently. Crosby insists he’ll “do or die” on his own.
Of the three finalists, Crosby Loggins has the most overall musical skills & widest vocal range.
May 2nd, 2008 at 2:44 am
I said this on another page, but it bears repeating (at least I think so). Jesse is an amazing front man. He has a great voice, works the stage and the crowd like no one I’ve seen in a long time and he is smokin’ freakin’ hot as well! I can’t imagine that anyone watching him perform tonight didn’t get an adrenaline rush. That guy is a rock star and I would buy his cd’s and go to his shows any day of the week. Crosby and Chloe are really good, but Jesse does it for me by far.
May 2nd, 2008 at 3:41 am
Jesse has a lot of nerve taking a shot at Belinda. The Go-Go’s were pioneering with the original punks in the late 70’s. Joey Ramone was among the first to call the Go-Go’s to give his congratulations on their sucess with Beauty and the Beat. Just like Green Day, the Go-Go’s went main stream, but they originated from punk. So that little “punk” Jesse does not know what the @#$!#!$##&*!!! he is talking about.
As far as his performance goes, I would vote for him if this was a gymnist competition. Entertaining yes, but real musical talent???
I’m going with Chole, I love here dark ,gothic style, and her voice. She is original.
May 2nd, 2008 at 4:04 am
Honestly, i was hoping for Lucy to win with Jesse as a very close second, and Chole as third. I love Lucy’s voice and im very sad to see her go…Jesse is amazing!! and Chole is very talanted!! I love her dark, sort of gothic sound…she is truely original!! As for Crosby…eww…i really dont like him nor his singing voice!! and omg he looks like an old man…i really hope he doesnt win!! Congrats to Jesse and Chole for making the finals!! =)
May 2nd, 2008 at 4:05 am
It was good to see that an ego as big as Lucy’s got knocked down and she, UNLIKE a lady, had to get a word in while being shown the door.
Chloe is visual, artistic and different - moreso NOT AFRAID to be differnt and original. She got shuvved a Britney tune and actaully made it enjoyable. She should have been rated on that because she proved /passed the test - jump out of a flying plane and she succeeded. I can’t believe that I enjoyed a Briteny song!!!
Her 2nd song was OK.
Jesse prides himself on showmanship, but U are right, - he’s as good w/ or w/out the MUTE button on. It would be fun to see if he writes and performs his OWN tunes - I think he’d lose alot of fans as peeps would wake up and realize it is not all about trying to be a teen pin up.
Loggins - seems sweet, but yawn-o-rama. too “coffee house”
I will vote for Chloe.

This is not the end of the world competition, but I had to smile when egotist, “nasal extrodinaire”, Lucy left. I ONLY say this because she thought she was better than she was.
Look how nice Lara was when she didn’t make the finals - she was a sweet, gracious human being UNLIKE Lucey.
The three that remain all have something different to offer but if it is artistry, emotion talent and passion … then it is Chloe - hands down.

May 2nd, 2008 at 7:07 am
It was really sad to see Lucy leave the show. And Chloe? Please what a cry baby. She’s cried on every show! Boo-hoo somebody told me the truth. She sounds like she’s singing under water. Jesse is the real deal. He did great with anything he sang. He really has a lot of range! It was nice to see Crosby loosen up and work it too! Jesse has my vote all the way!
May 2nd, 2008 at 9:38 am
I loved “Toxic” by Chloe. I think Chloe is awesome and she could take “Mary Had A Little Lamb” and it would be the most emotional, theatrical, different song that would have people on the edge of their seats.
She IS gonna rock. Win or no win on Rock The Cradle.
She’s a masterpeice.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:30 am
lucey? sinus surgery first, then stop trying to emulate stefani, scarlet jo’ , and lita ford from “foxes” nothing ever original an pitchy to the max do u remember her True Colors” horror? BTW fist she acted like she hated Jesse and now “….vote for Jessse”? she was a very sore loser….talk about needing to grow up? Lara was lovely - sweet thing.
Jesse ‘ songs were nothing different than what he was used to, he got off easy w/ thejudges picks WHY it was nothing challenging?
Chloe is way unique, left feild, and is true to the core…don’t care what you say, her voice is gorgeous and intriguing …guess who i am voting for
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:14 am
Lucy is so overly confident, telling the public to vote for Jesse, how lame and unprofessional is that!!! Sad to see Lara go, she has potential. Jesse’s a good performer & really gets the crowd going but wouldn’t be interested in buying his cd. Crosby’s a better musician than a performer. Chloe is original, distinctive, alternative style and voice, win or lose I hope she goes far, specially when music and singers sounds so generic & over produced these days.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:39 am
I love Jesse! He totally embodies the mission of this show! When I first heard of this show, performers like Jesse were what I had envisioned. Jesse is the complete package.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:45 am
Lara epitomizes grace. I’ll be following her career for sure. Jesse’s full of himself, but, DAMN! he’s an entertainer!
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:04 pm
I agree with Peter and Edie!!!! I loved Chloe’s version of Toxic and her stage performance was awesome…she’s got the talent just needs someone like Larry to show her the way to stardom! Jesse is truly entertaining to watch but close your eyes and listen to him sing…would you really buy his CD? Crosby is talented but his appeal is to a different audience and I think he wil have a successful career in the music business. VOTE CHLOE TO WIN!
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:06 pm
I think Kenny Loggins paid the judges to give his son high scores. Crosby looks so out of place on the stage and performing. He should get an office job somewhere.
Chloe is the best and most original “artist” on the show, hands down! So what if she’s dark. A lot of us like goth.
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:19 pm
Chloe amazes me…with how much she SUCKS! Really, it’s quite incredible how much one human being can be so talent-LESS. Her pitch was all over the place in Toxic,
and in First Cut is the Deepest she sounded like an elderly cat getting its pancreas torn out.
Jesse just seems like a total jerk.
Crosby seems genuine, and really does seem to have worked hard at his craft. I think I’ll vote for him.
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:19 pm
I think anyone who believe Chloe to be talented should open their ears! She is horrible! She is off key entirely too much and just sounds ridiculous. I cannot get over the fact that Lucy gets sent home and Chloe is still standing!
The winner without a doubt should be Jesse Snider…he is a true frontman and sings songs that “rock”. Isnt that what the show is about? Lets bring rock back into music and move on from this pop/wanna-be music that is currentl out there!
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:26 pm
I’m voting for Chloe. She has an amazing, unique voice that I Love. I bet that Chloe wins a Grammy within 3 years. She is that good and has something to say with her music.
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:37 pm
OMG…these Chloe fans must be her friends and family because she is HORRIBLE. That voice is a train wreck. Tone deaf…ridiculous over the top vibrato. This is a popularity contest, not a talent contest.
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:43 pm
If you want to talk about CLASS, look as far as Crosby Loggins. He’s never put anyone else down or taken a cheap shot. He’s there as a serious musician with more talent in his little finger than any of them. Jesse calling Crosby a “cheat” for being untouchable last week is rather hypocritical since Jesse himself has ridden on his own untouchable status through the entire show! For those complaining Crosby is too “coffeehouse” get a grip! Look at the top sellers these days and tell me which of the 3 finalists fits popular music today? Can you say Jack Johnson, John Mayer, Rob Thomas? Crosby DESERVES to win this thing, hands down.
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:47 pm
As judge Belinda said to Chloe, she has a “unique voice.” Yes, she is unique…uniquely BAD. She has a false and strange vibrato and sings very off-key. But her bad singing is not the only reason why she shouldn’t win. She shouldn’t win because she still needs to work on her inner “issues.” Although she claims that she no longer has an eating disorder, she certainly has a problem with her looks. At such a young age, she has altered her face with botox or some form of cosmetic surgery. Young women already have enough problems with body image and appearance due to heavy media influence. We shouldn’t reward someone who looks unhealthy, inside and out. She should consider eating more healthy (be fit like Madonna or her mother), stop the cosmetic injections/procedures, write poetry and songs to heal her wounds, go to therapy, take professional singing lessons and come back at a later date for a reunion or ‘where are they now’ show.
May 2nd, 2008 at 1:04 pm
Chloe is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Crosby is absolutely amazing also!!
JESSE!??! is a joke!!!!
Get it right people! The talent lies within Chloe and Crosby!!
May 2nd, 2008 at 1:05 pm
Jesse is by far the best all around talent on the show. Chloe is by far the worst on the show and it’s amazing she got this far. Lara has an amazing voice and we will hear from her in a few years. Crosby is BORING. When I watch a performance I want to see just that…A PERFORMANCE. Jesse gives us that plus he can sing. Chloe doesn’t move and when she does it looks awkward and uncomfortable to watch. Jesse ALL THE WAY and let’s bring back BIG ROCK-N-ROLL.
May 2nd, 2008 at 1:07 pm
Gosh I’m in love with Chloe and Crosby!!!
May 2nd, 2008 at 1:07 pm
I have truly enjoyed watching this show! It has been like watching the last Super Bowl, the unbeatable Patriots vs the Under Dog! Now its Chole vs the Patriots…Go Chole! It was wonderful to see a lighter side of Chole and WoW she certainly knows how to shake her grove thing! It was also very entertaining to see Jesse eating humble pie! I think that all the contestants have a future, no doubt…but, Lucy honey…get some class!
May 2nd, 2008 at 1:15 pm
I bet you anything Crosby will be around for the rest of our lives.. the talent and sincerety just comes flowing out and it is truely amazing. He will be a common household icon for years to come!
Chloe! I absolutely love you! Your style is so beautiful!! I rewind your songs over and over again! Amazing!!!
Niether of you believe anything bad! They absolutely have to be haters!! You two are on fire! and the public is hearing you!!
May 2nd, 2008 at 1:27 pm
I’ve been reading some of the comments, and respect that everyone has a preference for one of the remaining three performers. That’s why they are here and made it so far. Don’t let the editing of the show trying to make Jesse look like the “villain” fool you. This is a reality TV show and when he said some things in a joking manner and they show you snippets of conversations like that it makes it look like he walks around in life as an over the top narcissist. He is actually a really nice guy with a good sense of humor. He is confident, which is what a frontman needs to be. But he’s not a jerk. He did apologize to Belinda for the comment about the GoGo’s, and he seememd humbled by it. You should vote for the performer - not for your percieved notion of their personality. Jesse is a complete and total package. He is a rock star and he should not be discounted just because he can do backflips. That was the whipped cream on top of the performance - but his voice and his presence alone was enough to make me love this guy! Don’t hate just because he’s hot.
May 2nd, 2008 at 1:29 pm
I don’t understand while Chloe is still in this competition. Yes she is unique and I see a lot of people calling her goth. She has a long way before she is even worthy of that title.
As far as Crosby, I still think he is struggling with his stage prescence. He seems to be coming out of his shell but he doesn’t look 100%comfortable when he’s performing.
I still think Jesse is the overall best performer. It’s not about being the greatest singer in the world, it’s about having the complete package. It’s about working the crowd. There are a lot of great singers, however if you don’t have the stage prescence to back it up, hang up your mike.
May 2nd, 2008 at 2:06 pm
Jesse? …he’s like a charicature from the “rockumentary “This Is Spinal Tap”.
The unfounded arrogance! Who is fueling him on? His parents? Let’s be honest,but not mean, dad was only a gimmick act for a very short while inn the 80’s or 90’s (can’t recall). Have he taught his son that this is what music is?
The judges should made him sing something out his “element”. Instead they gave him another loud head banging selection that didn’t test him, but looked like a repeat of all other shows.
I am sad to see little Lara go. Lucie was consistentaly whiney/nasaly and never got called to the table for it.
Chloe is unique and SO empassioned. I dig her voice. I wish she would not get so stressed. Her detractors should recall a time when Annie Lennox (and more like Chloe), Kate Bush, were also called freaks. Time has proven them to be true artists!
I hope her dad’s tee pee has wireless, so he can rightfully vote for his amazing daughter !

have stuck to the key and should
May 2nd, 2008 at 2:38 pm
Chloe can’t hold pitch. She is all over the place. The vocals are just NOT good. I have been a fan of her mother, but Chloe needs vocal lessons. Get control over that crazy vibrato.
May 2nd, 2008 at 3:28 pm
Excuse me Anton, but if you had correctely read my paragraph, you would have seen that I chose Jesse, Lucy, AND CROSBY as winners. If Chloe is an example of the “music” to come, heaven help us all!!! Oh, and Anton, my tastes are for “real” music, not garbage.
May 2nd, 2008 at 4:00 pm
I think the judges chose Jesse’s song correctly. I found it ironic that the lyrics made him call himself a BRAT. He is BRAT, a SPOILED BRAT.
Crosby has my votes!
May 2nd, 2008 at 5:21 pm
you want nasaly?? what about crosby? i like the guy, don’t get me wrong, but he needs to work on ENUNCIATION. if i didn’t already know the songs, i wouldn’t know exactly what the words were that he was singing.
jesse, jesse, jesse…i go back and forth with this one. he’s an ass but that’s his thing. he has a decent voice, even though the range isn’t totally there…but then he did a punked out version of ring of fire…has no one ever heard the totally awesome SOCIAL DISTORTION version??? puh-lease.
and chloe…i’m voting for her BECAUSE she’s a trainwreck…as is this whole show!!
May 2nd, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Chloe does have a unique voice, but unique does not equate to good. She is painful to listen to. Save the vibrato for the opera, not rock and roll.
Jesse is just trying to ride his fathers extremely short lived coat tails with his mama molding him into what she wants. He needs to get away from the apron strings, become his own man and get his own style, not imitating others.
You can see where I’m headed with this. I’ve been a fan of Kenny Loggins and when I heard that Crosby was making music, I checked it out, but with skepticism. I was very pleasantly surprised. He has his own style. It may not be “rock and roll” but it’s his and it’s good! He is the only one of the 3 who has been a “musician” since he was a child. He writes his own songs as well. Check out his CD. He has also repeatedly said that he wants to make his own music and not ride the coat tails of his father. I think he will be very successful. He’s got my respect and my vote!
May 2nd, 2008 at 6:40 pm
CHLOE YOUR VOICE IS UNIQUE AND RICH. Ignore those who love the boring & predictable “run of the mill,” “dime a dozen!” I look forward to hearing lots more from you. I LOVE how you interpret everything you sing and we belive in your honesty! YOU HAVE MY VOTE!!!YOU are by FAR the BEST of the three Believe in yourself and BRING IT!
May 2nd, 2008 at 6:46 pm
I cannot believe someone actually grouped Chloe in with the likes of Annie Lennox and Kate Bush what an insult to two phenomenol women.Chloe, I’m sorry she should not have made it past Jessie Money I know several people think Jesse Snider is an ass, maybe he is, but the boy can ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!! He is the total package!!
May 2nd, 2008 at 6:53 pm
First, why everyone seems to be hanging on the name of the show as evidence that Jesse is the only contender is (IMO) off their rocker! The name is no more than a play on words. Yes, Jesse can rock and has stage presence and charisma. But if I want to listen to real music and buy real music it’s Crosby I’m going to be tuned in to. Back flips don’t sell records. And as for “icing on the cake,” I’m far more impressed by Crosby’s ability to play multiple instruments and sing from his heart and soul - that, to me, is what “presence” is all about. If I can feel the music, the lyrics and the true artistry of a performer then that is TRUE Talent. And so I repeat: VOTE FOR CROSBY!
May 2nd, 2008 at 7:00 pm
CHLOE and CROSBY!!!!
May 2nd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
I hope cockiness (J’) and MOR( L’) have seen their day. Kudos to the remark about Jesse w/ the MUTE button on. Mr. Crosby - you seem nice, but you don’t spark interst.
Miss Chloe is one unique, talented chicita. She tore the heck out of TOXIC just as she did with her own moodier choices before that. Her only minor “trip” was the first show/song. Thereafter, she’s shown that she can create moods and feelings with whatever she sings.
I will vote for her and I don’t think the Lennox /Bush reference was that far off. Just because she doesn’t fit a “paint by numbers” expectation, doesn’t meean she’s not talented.
I want to see and hear more from her.
One vote for Chloe
May 2nd, 2008 at 7:48 pm
sorry for the typos n the above..hard to type with a kitty on your lap
kitty says Jesse is “wannabe”, Crosby is “boring” and Lucee, what’s her name was not at all graceful when she lost.
I’ll vote again for Chloe because kitty backed that thing up on the keyboard and accidently voted Crosby …BAD KITTY … and good Chloe
People, it is not the cure for cancer - it’s a pop talent show. HOWEVER, Chloe Lattanzi seems like she’d make music I’d want to hear and I’d go see her perform in a club too.
May 2nd, 2008 at 9:12 pm
Chloe was incredible last night. I think she made both songs pretty damn cool! What are we in for on the final night?! Will the parents appear on stage with their kids…who will pick the songs? Will they let them do an original song…that would really showcase talent. Stay tuned! CHLOE ROCKS!!!
May 2nd, 2008 at 9:15 pm
Craig, maybe do a little research. Not only does Jesse write his own music, he is in a band called Baptized By Fire and Has been performing in clubs/venues for years. By the way, the music is actually very good!
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:14 pm
Wow I can’t believe the show’s almost over! I love it!! With the remaining 3, my vote goes to Chloe. She is funky and twisted and her version of Freak on a Leash was great (the judges hated it). Jessie Money has a great voice. I saw her perform with her dad at BB Kings in NYC a few months ago and she kicked ass!!! Can’t believe she went after the first show…I’m hoping MTV does a round 2!!!!
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:40 pm
I have never responded to anything online before but this is just too ridiculous. Chloe cannot sing, she cannot even speak the words in tune. She is completely tone deaf and I am amazed she continues to progress through week after week. She, or a relative (other than the obvious Olivia Newton John, of which I am a fan) must have some connection with the production of this show. Belinda Carlisle who is pretty harsh and I cannot believe she sits there each week and claims to be a fan, as do they all. Each time I hear Chloe sing, I just sit there in amazement, she doesn’t even sing, she speaks the words, off key and it is horrible. I feel like I’m in an alternate universe each time I watch the show.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:42 pm
CHLOE ROCKS!!!…. I LOVE HER!.. SHE IS UNIQUE AND WONDERFUL! YEAH JESSE’S GOOD TOO. BUT SEEN AND HEARD IT ALL BEFORE. ROCK THE CRADLE CHLOE! THERE’S NO ONE LIKE U!!
May 3rd, 2008 at 12:05 am
I’m glad that I’m not the only one that thought Lucy’s voice was like nails on a blackboard. Her nasal tone and her over pronounciation of “R’s” was driving me nuts. Her attitude was the corker though- what a brat! Jesse’s a little full of himself isn’t he? Sure he can rock-but he’s copying his dad, and that was so yesterday. Crosby is incredibly talented but he just seems to be so uncomfortable on stage. If he’d loosen up he’d be great because he is really good. Poor Chloe…everyone who picks on her because they don’t understand her style will be eating a huge plate of crow when she wins this thing-even if she doesn’t win it, I think she has a good chance at a great career because she doesn’t SELL OUT like all the rest of the phony artists do these days.
May 3rd, 2008 at 1:03 am
Sorry, but I don’t think Crosby comes across that nice after all. I saw him on Good Day L.A. and he seems really stand-offish and not that friendly. But we are not voting for a personality contest, are we? So lucky for him. He does have talent, of course, but I don’t care for his voice. It doesn’t do a thing for me. But everyone is entitled to their favorites. Just because Jesse is outgoing and has a wicked sense of humor does not make him a bad guy. Oh yeah - but we’re not supposed to be voting on personality. Jesse is extremely talented and a very exciting performer. That is what rock and roll is all about. Jesse is a true rock star.
May 3rd, 2008 at 1:37 am
-Jesse Blaze Snider is an extremely cocky person. All he can do is take off his shirt and scream into the microphone. You can’t even hear his voice. GIve him a slower melody, then we’ll see just how talented Mr. Snider actually is.
-Chloe Lattanzi does not have a “unique” voice. She is just OFF-KEY!! Can I go on TV and sing off key to win a record deal?
-Crosby has real talent. He has a good voice, and can perform different genres.
I can’t believe BOTH Lara and Lucy were voted off. This show is ridiculous. The winner should be the one with the most talent, not the one who can be the biggest show off or sex symbol (ie: taking off shirts & strapping guys to chairs).
I would have voted for Lara. Now I don’t even want to watch this show anymore.
May 3rd, 2008 at 3:23 am
Chloe is out there, unique and YES she CAN sing - she is real in her art and her humilty.
She deserves to win, but life isn’t always fair and she’ll find success with or without this show. Nonetheless, it’s just a TV show to gain exposure.
I won’t share any negative thoughts on the others, however I will say Lara was so sweet and I also thought Akibo,(sp)left too soon.
You can guess how I feel about the others, especially those “blondes” in need of colorists
May 3rd, 2008 at 4:15 pm
CHLOE is my favourite and I hope that she will win this contest…
