One winner will be chosen at the Stables Michigan Idol Contest on Thursday, November 19, 2009. Contestants have been battling it out each Thursday for the past ten weeks. 
Winner receives a cash prize and a spot as opening act for an upcoming concert at the Prime Event Center in Downtown Bay City.
Then, Michigan Idol takes a break for the week of Thanksgiving and then another 11 week segment will begin on Thursday, December 3, 2009.
Michigan Idol Judge, Tommy Anderson, said he really enjoys the competition. "Each round brings out so much talent that would have gone unheard had it not been for The Michigan Idol competition here at the Stables," Anderson said.
"There are a few contestants who are tops in my mind - and each one has certain subtleties they bring to the stage, but (next) Thursday's tabulation from the scores we give each week will determine the winner, Anderson went on to say."
Online voting totals through Friday night have Jessi Carrick leading th way with 23.83% of the votes. Jade Cook is right behind in second place.
The rest of the top ten vote-getters through Sunday night (November 15, 2009, 7:45pm) are: (Over 15,000 votes have been counted.)

It is way too bad that this Michigan Idol had to be determined by "hotness", not talent. Next time try and get a female judge in there so the competiton can be fair. It's pretty sad when a minor that sings karaoke and flirts with the judges before the competiton beats a girl who writes her own songs and mezmerizes the audience. Jessi had way more talent than anybody there and it's too bad that the judging was rigged. Proof is when the one judge said to Tommy that he could tell that he wanted to change his score tonight after Jessi was done, which meant he wrote it down even before Jessi finished her song. I even think Hillfigga should've been number two.

I only made it to the last idol finals, however I would have to agree that a female judge would have been nice to hear what she thought as well. Maybe, once a contestant "wins" they should not be allowed to enter the contest again?

I honestly think that the best performer won. She has worked harder than anyone else and has put more time and effort into this competition than anyone else. So no one really has room to talk.
