"American Idol" has sent home Sway, Brenna, Heather and David, and the competition is heating up. Who's your favorite? Least favorite? And who do you think could win it all?

Here are some of your comments.

See ya, Brenna
"I definitely think that it was time for Brenna to go. Having to see her consistently obnoxious personality week after week was ruining the show for me. I thought that Sway should have stayed, but the others leaving were no surprise." -Kay

"I am so glad that Brenna is gone. She really irritated me with her conceited attitude. I was surprised about Heather getting voted off so soon. I haven't determined a favorite yet since there are some very talented people on both the boys and girls team. I need more time to choose my favorite." -Linda

"Thanks goodness Brenna is GONE. Her 15 minutes of fame was 14 3/4 too much for me to stomach. The only way is would have been better would have been if she were let go last week! Mandisa and Ayla are my favorites. This week was a no brainer, except for Sway." -Janet

On the money"The American public nailed this one. Those voted off had to go. Who should go next? I don't get the Elliot thing, I just don't see the talent that is supposedly there. Chris is intense and should be the next idol, although I love Kellie's personality." -Jaycee

Enough with the aw, shucks
"I like Bucky and Kellie but I think they really need to stop with the naive about the world beyond their own backyard thing because it makes all Southerners look dumb. Please . . . " -Von (from Texas)

She'll always have Paris"Paris is an awesome young singer and I believe she will make it all the way. For 16 yrs. old, the girl has it all, talent, charisma and can definitely sing." -Diane

Oh, Paula"Frankly I think Paula needs to be voted off !! What was with that absolute horror she portrayed last night ?? Certainly not the same standards that the contestants themselves are expected to hold up to!!!" -Melanie

"What was Paula Abdul smoking??" -Marty

Not Heather!"I don't think Heather Cox deserved to be off. I don't think she got a fair shake. She didn't seem to connect with the judges. I think they make the final decision. I think it's more about ratings now than who's best.' -Edna

Not Sway!"All of the above should have been voted off except Sway. I think that the Clay lookalike should have been voted off. He cannot sing!!! Chris Daughtry rocks and should win the competition and Mandisa and the two young girls behind him." -Carol

"Brenna and Heather, yes, they needed to go. David and Sway I really liked. I would have rather seen Kevin Covais (albeit cute, just not a "star") and Bucky Covington go home. I liket them both, they seem like sweet genuine people but just not enough to win this. This is Chris' competition!" -Leigh

Daughtry's growing fan base
"Brenna's performance and attitude were poor, David chose the wrong song, both Heather and Sway chose songs much bigger than their talent. My pick to win it all is Chris Daughtry. He's got the talent, the right attitude, and the camera loves him. I think he's great!! GO CHRIS!" -Sanntay

"Chris was very impressive! He is an amazing singer. I think David Radford and Ace Young will be the 2 to go. They did not have a good night. Kevin is going to have to make a lot of changes if he is going to stay in the running. He can't keep going on his 'cuteness.'" -Carol

"I basically agreed with the way the vote went, except I thought Sway did a very decent job with the Stevie Wonder song. I think Chris Daughtry is going to win it all. While some of the women in the competition are pretty good, Chris has knocked it out of the park every time he has been on the stage." -Sheila

No love for Kevin"I cannot stand Kevin Covais. His voice is bland, and I wouldn't be able to tolerate seeing his face posted everywhere ... Chris Daughtry's performance was exceptional and I would love to hear him on the radio anyday. I believe he will be the one to take it all." -Brandi

"As usual America and Simon got it right. Next should be Kevin and Bucky and Kinnik and Lisa. At this point in the competition I don't have a clear choice But Chris, Taylor/ Eliot and Ace are my favorite guys and Ayla, Mandisa, Katharine and Paris are my favorite girls. Still a rather long list I know but they're all really good in their own way." -Sandy

"They all deserved their exile last night. Kevin should be next to go. My co-favorites are Paris and Mandisa, slight edge to Mandisa." -Maurice

"I think Kevin's somewhere in between Clay Aiken and William Hung — he can't sing, and he sure doesn't look like a pop star! My vote is Chris, and always will be." -Brandy

Taylor is tops"The best in the competition is Taylor. Not only is he talented, he seems like a nice sincere guy. Paris is good but comes off as arrogant. Kellie is not a good singer and extremely irritating. Ace is decent but is really sailing through on his sex appeal. Gedeon is good and likeable. I hope the final two are Taylor and Catherine." -Jennifer
