I think so. I just bought some on Intrade at 5. I don't think she can beat Melinda BUT she sings way better than Jordin and Blake so I'm figuring I'm getting about 4-1 odds on her outlasting those two. I think her odds are better than that.

This does not seem to be like last season where certain contestants locked in steady fan bases. This season it's a week-to-week contest based on the performances that week. Lakisha was great last week and has the potential to be great again.

I admit Lakisha needs help in the form of bad performances by Blake and Jordin. But Lakisha also is the only true underdog in this competition, she's got the best backstory and I think more people might be rooting for her than we think.
