 Another one of my picks is the girl with shoulder-length dirty-blonde hair in a stylish-cut, who was wearing the cargo-type-pants last night who sang in the same group as the foreign-16 y.o-chick now living in Seattle.  She was sassy.  Final 5 for her.

 Marque is great from what we've seen, but he is in a tough group.  I think he'll be great, but I just hope he makes it.
The OM decided that of all the people he knew were going on, his barometer was the kid in the maroon fedora.  We'd seen him exactly once.  Nice voice, nice manner, great ear.  His name reminds me of Devante Swing -- Erskine, maybe?  Anyway, he's in that group along with the super cute 16 year old and Fantasia and Jennifer (I want to say Holliday, but that cannot possibly be right).
