It's Idol Time Again

[Eliza]

And I almost can't watch. They're BAD...and I think the judges got meaner. Even Paula actually said the word "no" *gasp*

Is anyone planning to watch this season?

~Eliza

[maddy]

I'm watching it this evening... and I've got it set to record to the DVR for the season... I'm hopeful they will find some good talent.

[bare4you]

I'll watch the first hour with my kids - we love to laugh

[Steph]

Holy crap! I can't believe it's been on two hours! I thought it was only an hour. I swear I'd watch this for another two hours!

Chicago rocks! I loved the two black women bitching at each other.

I had goose bumps a coupla times, I shook my head at the mother/daughter combo. The suntan!

LOL... The tan!! And her Mom was worse than her! Looks like she's going to be back again too... OMG they let Dave through!!!! ???? LMAO I actually kinda liked his song. But he looked like he was posessed.

[Lilith]

Should be fun! 2 sets of twins and sisters

[musicman]

love the auditions - not sure about the season yet

[imaginewithme]

It was strange.....

[FallenAngel5]

I agree with iwm...

[dreamgurl]

My Idol was found and there will never be another Clay Aiken...........actualy that show is begining to get annoying, and i don't have the attention span anymore.

[Lilith]

They showed a lot of the bad stuff and the insults but I'd have liked to have seen a glimpse of the good ones who may make it to the show.

[Aqua]

I actually watched a bit of a it last night. I wish they would have showed more of the good then the bad too. I loved how Dave just shrugged off Simon's comment with a smile and an 'Alright'.

'Can you feel it?'

[LixyChick]

I'm IN!!!!!!!

Mr. Lixy started to protest but I told him it's "the auditions" and he relented. He'll be in all season now. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...gotcha babe!

WTF was that OMG sweet, dark haired 17 y/o kid/guy? Fuckin YUM! Paula was swooning, eh? His eyes knocked me over...and I loved his "crooning". That they told him to update himself was so funny! Harry Conick, Jr. is peeing his pants, I'm sure!

The tan chick and her mom were the talk of the radio talk shows I listen to every day. The "bleeps" were soooooooooooooo fuckin funny. She hardly got an actual word in. Even her song was bleeped for language content. And then for her to get indignant...ROFLMFAO! Would LOVE to be a fly on the wall as she views this at home with friends and family!

The two sets of twins....MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

As I said...I'M INNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

Where's SS????? She usually checks in on this kinda thread!

[Eliza]

I shot the sherif.... but I did not shoot the deputy.















































IIIIIII shot the sherif...... but I did not shoot the deputy. :D
LMFAO.... Okay... I'm in too Lixy. This show is adictive. I LOVE the rock guy in the cowboy hat. Adorable and I like his style.

[Lilith]

He's my new Marty :D

[Steph]

IIIIIII shot the sherif...... but I did not shoot the deputy. :D


ROFL He was too good! I didn't think he'd stop!

[imaginewithme]

I LOVE the rock guy in the cowboy hat. Adorable and I like his style.

uh huh!!!! :p

[Lilith]

so the twins from Tuesday Terrell and Derrell seem to be in some trouble with the law. Good thing there is another set afterall.

[maddy]

I caught that snipit in a news preview, but missed the actual news story.

I thought for the most part the Denver auditions seemed more successful than Chicago.

[Steph]

Twin jailbirds (http://www.wsbtv.com/news/6237172/detail.html)

This report says they're 28. I thought the age limit was 26?

[txgrneyes]

My daughter loves the show. She will even get off the phone with her best friend to watch the show...which is saying alot.

I really dont get into it until they get to hollywood. Then I start watching.

Cant wait to see it get actually going.

[maddy]

It's group night - anyone watching? The Terell and Derell twins (sorry if I've misspelled their names) really are starting to grate on my nerves.

[imaginewithme]

I watched and yes, they are on my nerves too.

[Lilith]

They should not have allowed them back.

[Steph]

Yeah, letting them keep going was annoying.

The grey-haired cutie is moving ahead, that's all I care about right now!

[maddy]

I just adore Taylor the grey haired guy... he screams deep south to me.... he was so fun tonight... something to look forward if you are on the other coast.

[Steph]

I just adore Taylor the grey haired guy... he screams deep south to me.... he was so fun tonight... something to look forward if you are on the other coast.

I was out!!! I'm glad you loved him!!! Tell me more. I'm PMing you!!!

[imaginewithme]

Wasn't too crazy about it tonight.......not sure what it was......a few good ones tho.

[Steph]

I just caught the last few minutes & was surprised to see it was all women. Have they done that before? I'm just watching to cheer on Taylor so the all women show disappointed me.

[imaginewithme]

Maybe that's what it was. They said tomorrow night is the guys and then Thursday night are the vote offs---thats what I understood.

[Lilith]

They are kicking off 2 women and 2 men

[maddy]

I think they did it this way last year as well. They do the single sex shows until they get to 6 of each then they rejoin and it becomes fair game as to who gets kicked off.

[Lilith]

I am in lust with several of the men. Chris, Ace and Taylor.....yum

[Steph]

Taylor's song didn't do it for me but he was still good. The Jackson 5 guy & the cutie before Taylor were pretty sexy for young guys, too.

[Lilith]

They are my favorite young ones too.

[imaginewithme]

Did you see this (http://tv.yahoo.com/news/ap/20060223/114071664000.html) on the twins? Are they beautiful or what??? Mr. IWM said "OMG SHE HAS A TWIN"

[maddy]

They flashed the "twin" in the audience on Tuesday night - they are beautiful ladies.

I'm enjoying the season thus far - so many talented, beautiful, and like-able folks... I don't have a clear favorite but enjoy numerous contestants.

[imaginewithme]

WOW--I'm pretty surprised at one of the ones voted off.

[Lilith]

I was not at all and there are a few more I could send too and just save us some time :p

[imaginewithme]

I was not at all and there are a few more I could send too and just save us some time :p

Amen sister.

[Steph]

I was out last night and missed it. What surprised you, IWM?

[imaginewithme]

I figured one of the girls that were voted off would have been kept around because she was so pretty.

[Steph]

I figured one of the girls that were voted off would have been kept around because she was so pretty.

Oh that one who was in Maxim? I haven't seen the women sing in a while.

Thanks for replying! :)

[imaginewithme]

yeah, shes the one.


Ok, is it just me, am I the only one with this freakin' song in my head.........


at the copppppppaaaaaaaaaaa

[Eliza]

yeah, shes the one.


Ok, is it just me, am I the only one with this freakin' song in my head.........


at the copppppppaaaaaaaaaaa


LMAO... don't even get me started!

I was okay with the ones they kicked. I'mm with you Lil.. they could have taken a couple with them... That bitchy girl for one. Brenna? I have no patience for her. She's just there for the drama!

My picks this year I think are Chris (swoon) and Kellie (?) Pickler. But there are others I just love to see have made it that far. Mandisa for one. And Taylor. I don't want to like Ace.... but he can sing. So I have to.

Anyone else freaked out by Paula and her strange wax job on her eyebrows for the one episode that she then covered up with bang the next? (no? just me? lol.)

[Lilith]

Not just you, I saw them and even Mr. Lil commented. I don't want to like Ace either due to his "pretty" factor but did he pick the right song or what???

[Steph]

Dan said, "Private surgery much, Paula?" but I thought she looked different because of her hair (which I liked). I missed the brows! Damn!

[maddy]

The judges are rough this week... well so are some of the performances too... But I just got through watching Bucky, and I really liked his performance - he's not one of my favorites... but he was on tonight.

[Steph]

There's a good documentary on CBC that Dan is watching so I've been missing it . . . My silver fox performed well at the opening, I know!

[Eliza]

Bucky did great. And I loved Taylor as usual. A lot of them were off. But Chris ROCKED! I'm totally voting for him.

[maddy]

I missed Chris' performance while I was loading up the dishwasher but caught some of the judges' comments.

[Steph]

Hi Eliza, fellow Taylor lover! I hope you've been well!

[Lilith]

Chris is my stand alone favorite too. I don't think he will make it to the end though. Which may be good contract wise for him.

[Cheyanne]

I missed Chris as well, but they played a portion of what he did on the radio this morning and I was blew away! OMG! He is awesome! I have to agree with Lil though - I think that he will do well from the exposure, but can do better (if agents are smart) outside of the competition.

[imaginewithme]

I think American voters did well for tonights show.

[flutelady]

There are a couple of men as well as a couple of women that I like. My early-in-the-season picks are Chris and Mandisa.

I hope the girl with the attitude goes home tonight! Brenna?

[imaginewithme]

Chris Rocks!!!!

Taylor Rocks!!!!

[maddy]

I've picked my two men to go home this week. I didn't watch the women that closely last night.

[Cheyanne]

I have also picked my 2 to go... the ladies were so-so, but Mandesa did well! :D

Ace was terrible tonight... Bucky was good... Taylor was awesome and Chris was also excellent! : )

[imaginewithme]

Local news just showed Taylor Hicks family at the bar he performs at, with tshirts that say "Soul Patrol"...... fun!

[imaginewithme]

Well, whats everyone think of the ones voted off?

[Lilith]

They are all people I expected to be off eventually. There are still some left I'm not crazy about.

[imaginewithme]

Anyone wanna go ahead and say who they think will win???

[flutelady]

I think the right people got voted off, although I'd have sent Melissa home this week and maybe Ayla next week.

I think it'll come down to Mandisa and Chris.

[Lilith]

I hope so^^^. I have to tell you that I love the dude with the ears too. There is something about his grin that makes me wanna hug him or chain him to the dungeon floor :D

[flutelady]

LOL.... "the dude with the ears". I know just who you mean and I think he's got a great voice. It'll be interesting to see what they do with him now that he's in the top 12 and will have a stylist working on him. Should be interesting to see what they do with Bucky and Kevin, too.

[imaginewithme]

I wasn't too surprised about last nights kick off. I was more surprised at the "bottom 3" though.

Anyone else watch?

[maddy]

I watched... why can't Kevin go away? I don't think he is that good. I was shocked at the bottom three, but also didn't see all of Tuesday night's show.

[flutelady]

The bottom 3 surprised me. I expected Melissa to leave soon, but not quite yet. I was SO sure that it would be Kevin/Chicken Little on the plane home.

Go figure.

[calihotguy]

I am pretty confident about my picks for the final six.

Girls: Paris Bennet, Katharine McPhee, and Mandisa

I would say Paris is there definitely, but Kellie Pickler might sneak in just because she has that giggly southern blonde thing going and some guys might fall for her Jessica Simpson impersonation even though her voice is no where near the best. If Kellie sneaks in, I think Mandisa is out because she seems too professional to me....I think she has the best voice, but it is too practiced (she is 29, the oldest, and always reminds me of a professional back up singer for Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston). I don't think the audience will connect with her enough for that reason.

Guys: Taylor Hicks, Elliot Yamin, and Chris Daughtry

These guys are locks. Bucky has no range and is limited in song choice. Kevin's voice isn't special and the innocent look can only get him so far. Ace is all show, no go.

Top Two: Chris Daughtry and Paris Bennet.

Elliot doesn't have the right personality and Taylor sometimes won't be taken seriously. I have already said my piece about Mandesa and Kellie, but I don't think Katharine will make it because she lacks personality sometimes and can come off as fake a bit. Paris seems to becoming more and more confident in interviews to match how she is when she is singing (which is better than Fantasia in my opinion). Chris is just great.

Winner: Chris Daughtry
All along it seems Chris has set the bar. Although he only sings a rock style, it just seems right because he is original and makes you feel like you are watching the next rock star.

Now if only I was psychic and these predictions would turn out right...I'd be in Vegas right now.

[Eliza]

Hi All.. I'm pretty happy with how things have progressed. Except for Chicken Little. I used to think he was cute. But he's just annoying now and getting mouthy.

I think it will be down to Mandisa and Chris..which I think is awesome because they're so different and rock at what they do.

[flutelady]

She^^^ can come sit by me! ;)

[imaginewithme]

Ok...what do you think of tonights show?

I have no clue. I still love Chris and Taylor. Not tooooo crazy about any of the girls.

[maddy]

The only one I saw tonight was Taylor. And my very first thought was "he looks a tad like George Clooney". So I found it entertaining when Ryan said he looked like a cross of George, someone else, and Phil Donahue. I could totally see it.

[imaginewithme]

Yeah, is it just me or is he looking better now? Not sure what they've actually done to him.

[maddy]

They styled his hair differently... it's got more of a side part vs the just sort of shaggy fall where it may. I also believe he's now in full stage makeup. They might have groomed his brows some as well.

[Steph]

when Ryan said he looked like a cross of George, someone else, and Phil Donahue.

Jay Leno :)

They all get better looking as the show goes on. Even Chicken Little (someone said that to me but I don't see it)!?!

I thought Paris was the best last night but she had already performed "Fever" on a previous show.

It also showed that Manilow is a musician's musician.

[Lilith]

Elliot looked better too and they are shooting him from an angle that is much more flattering.

[calihotguy]

prediction.....

Bucky gets the boot tonight.

[imaginewithme]

aaaawwwwwww

[flutelady]

I agreed with the bottom 3, as well as with the bottom 1.

[Sugarsprinkles]

I'm IN!!!!!!!

Where's SS????? She usually checks in on this kinda thread!

I'm here, I'm here..............and where the hell are you?? LOL

I've been watching from the start. I just finished reading the thread and see I'm in the majority. Chris and Taylor ROCK!! And Paris, Mandisa are excellent too.......although I do really, really like Kelly.

I had the bottom 3 picked last night.........even wrote down what I thought. But I was surprised at which one went tonight. I totally expected it to be Bucky. I like the kid, but I don't think he'll be around much longer. He doesn't have the range. That was obvious when he, and a few others weren't familiar with Stevie Wonder's music.

Anyway, I'll be checking in again on this one. :p

[Lilith]

PM me please. I was at the beach and missed who got kicked off.

[Eliza]

I completely agreed with the bottom 3. Lil did you find out who it was? I suppose it's safe to assume it's been long enough not to spol it.... I did want to see him go. But I really thought it would be Bucky this time. I thought he was the worst that night. Although overall... America mad the right choice.. in my opinion.

I really can't say enough about Chris though. His rendition of Walk The Line was awesome. I'm hoping he releases it.

The are al looking better. I know what you mean Lil about Elliot. I think he's adorable But he gets this chin thing going on when he sings. They're tring to shoot him so it's not so aparant.

Good to see you SS! Haven't heard from you in awhile!

~Eliza

[Lilith]

I hope Bucky goes next. I want to practice reproduction techniques with Chris. ;)

[imaginewithme]

Anyone disappointed in tonights looser? I missed this persons performance the night before.

[Lilith]

I was not at all surprised

[Sugarsprinkles]

Neither was I. However I had Kelly in the bottom 3 rather than Catherine McPhee. I did have Ace and Lisa. I think both Kelly and Bucky are REALLY going to have to pick up their game if they want to stick around much longer. Next week is Country music, so maybe they'll do okay. It's gonna come down to song choice for both of them. Country music may be problematic for Elliot....and maybe for Ace too. The rest, I'm sure will do great. Just my .02 for whatever it's worth.

[flutelady]

Yup, the right person went home, I think.

I still think it'll come down to either Chris or Mandisa. I also think that if they can "cute" up Elliot some, it'll be a good thing... but I like him just the same and he's got a very good voice.

[Sugarsprinkles]

Was anyone else shocked by who went home tonight??

[Lilith]

Wow! I just looked it up. Well it is a popularity contest, and obviously that part has taken over at this point. It does every time eventually.

[maddy]

I had to look it up as well. I missed the show last night.

[Sugarsprinkles]

Wow! I just looked it up. Well it is a popularity contest, and obviously that part has taken over at this point. It does every time eventually.

True, but I honestly thought she was more popular than that. I was 1 for 3 as for who was in the bottom 3. I had it as Elliott, Bucky, and either Ace or Catherine. The only one I was right on was Elliott.

Next week they will be doing songs by Queen. I think the only one with an obvious advantage with that one, is Chris. He should really shine, in my very humble opinion.

[flutelady]

Was anyone else shocked by who went home tonight??

I was completely floored, I didn't expect my girl Mandisa to be out so soon! I honestly thought it was time for either Ace or Taylor to go.

I guess I ought to start voting.

[Steph]

I was completely floored, I didn't expect my girl Mandisa to be out so soon! I honestly thought it was time for either Ace or Taylor to go.

I guess I ought to start voting.


That's the thing! It's really disappointing when people are 'forgotten'. I missed her performance but had a feeling she wouldn't have the country vibe.

[Sugarsprinkles]

Actually she did a pretty good job. She sang Shania's "Any Man Of Mine". I thought she was much better than Elliott this week. I've been voting, but it was hard this week....kept getting busy signals. Only got two votes in before the time expired.


Has anyone been watching "Nashville Star" on Tuesday nights on the USA network?

[sexychrissy]

I loved Kellie Pickler she is so sweet and i just think she looks Innocent!!!! I didn't care too much for Ace or Taylor this week

[flutelady]

Has anyone been watching "Nashville Star" on Tuesday nights on the USA network?


I've seen some commercials for it but haven't watched the show.

[maddy]

I don't recall their being a show like tonight's in previous seasons ... I boo-hoo'd.

[imaginewithme]

Yeah, it was different!

[Sugarsprinkles]

Next week Rod Stewart will be helping out the contestants with singing the "old standards". It may be a tough week for Chris, since they are pretty much limited in how much they can "adjust" the song to suit themselves, but I'm sure he'll find a way to shine. It should be a good week for Elliot and Catherine.....and probably Paris too.

[imaginewithme]

I was SHOCKED at the bottom three!!!!! Not too surprised at who went home tho.

[Lilith]

If Chris gets dissed I'm going postal :D

[Eliza]

Me too! I was stunned to see him in the bottom 3! I was okay with who went home. But Chris and Paris did not deserve to be there.

Eliza

[Sugarsprinkles]

I wasn't surprised to see him go either. But we've just about gotten to the stage where no matter who goes home it will seem unfair, because they're all so good.

[flutelady]

I'm no Ace fan, but I think he did a better job than Kellie this week. My opinion is that based on the performance, she should have gone home. That having been said, I was not surprised to see that she wasn't in the bottom three.

[Sugarsprinkles]

I like Kellie a lot.........that being said, I honestly thought she would have been the one going home. I think she gave the weakest performance of all the contestants. I don't believe that Chris deserved to be in the bottom 3. I think that happened only because there is probably a certain element of voters who expect him to do hard rock every time and were disappointed that he sang something entirely different. They probably didn't stop to consider just how limited he was by the "theme" of the week. He'll be limited again next week with the theme being Love Songs. I'm not crazy about Catherine, but I have to admit she did a bang-up job this week.

[Lilith]

Elliot and Chris my new 3 way fantasy

[imaginewithme]

HOw was tonight, I missed it :(

[Lilith]

Chris was dead sexy and Elliot was awesome.

[maddy]

I personally did not care for the theme and think it should not be done again. They seem to want to groom the contestants to be pop stars but then pick a classical singer for them to work with? Thus, I had the show on, but really struggled to give it my attention. I know the judges praised Elliot but I was just bored with his song and from then on my attention was lost.

Did anyone notice Kat's near "wardrobe malfunction" as the slit of her dress popped open one more button?

[imaginewithme]

Chris was dead sexy and Elliot was awesome.
damnit! I hate I missed that!!!! http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/inlove.gif (http://www.millan.net)

[imaginewithme]

Well, were you surprised tonight?

[Steph]

Well, were you surprised tonight?

I was glad, to be honest.

[Lilith]

Me too. She was more whiny than cute.

[Steph]

My mind was made up when I read this a few weeks ago:

www.votefortheworst.com/pickler.html

I like the new trend. Celebrities like Reese Witherspoon & Pink are saying, "Stop pretending you're stupid. Stop!"

[Cheyanne]

I had been saying for weeks... can someone really be that stupid? Sheesh! That may work between the ages of 1 and 10, but.... :give me a break smilie:

I look for Paris to be gone next week. Elliot needs some personality injections....he is awesome as long as my eyes are closed. Catherine is too icy... Taylor, well he is just so cute in a teddy bear sort of way.. and Chris - :D those M&M eyes.. :D

[imaginewithme]

Well.........what did you think?

I've been missing the performances because I have class on Tuesday night but I get to see who gets the boot on Wednesday's.

[Lilith]

Thank heavens!

[LixyChick]

Thought I'd check here to see who got booted last night. Couldn't keep my eyes open.

Anyone else thinking Catherine is trying to act like she's not "effected" or full of herself...but is sooooooooooooo effected and enchanted with herself? I'm surprised she doesn't insist on being surrounded by mirrors!

Oops! That ^^^ reads a lot more catty than I mean it. The girl is gorgeous...no doubt! I'm just surprised Simon let her get this far without mentioning how into herself she is. He is usually telling the contestants (specially early in the show) how effected they come off.

Oh...so as to who got booted last night? Guess I'll find out at work.

Have a great day all!

[Lilith]

Have I mentioned that I would like to coat Chris' shiny bald head in cunny juice?

[Eliza]

Lil... where to sign up for that? I must have missed the sign up sheet...

This week I was so on the fence. I'm sorry to say this.. because I know he's popular... but Taylor is working on my nerves. The last couple shows he just hasn't lived up to his potententional for me. I honestly think he should have gone. Little Paris is a powerhouse singer. And full of personality. Sometimes she sounds kind of off to me... here and there. But on the whole I think she's better.

I'm glad to se Kellie gone too. She was annoying and working on my nerves too.

My prediction (now that Mandissa is gone) is It will come down to Chris and Catherine. I do like her.... She's beautiful..has a good voice.. entertaining.. BUT.. can someone tell me why she knelt through her preformance? It was distracting.

But... then again Taylor has a lot of fans. It's all about popularity now. Not so much talent.

[Lilith]

I think the goal was to have her interact with the cool drums but well it didn't quite go like that.

[Cheyanne]

I still think Chris will take it. Elliot was awesome - he even looked cute and his eyes sparkled! Catherine - I don't really care for her - too icy. Taylor - I agree, he has been off - needs to get back to his McDonald roots... lol

I would like to see Chris and Elliot as the final two! :D

[imaginewithme]

OH MY GOD!

I JUST WANNA QUIT WATCHING IT NOW!!!!!!

I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT!!!!

[maddy]

The voting population got it WRONG tonight.... I was awestruck, as was the audience, I think.

[Lilith]

I predicted this. It was the most horrible day today and I told a co-worker, "the only thing that could make this day worse is for _____ to get kicked off idol." BINGO.

[musicman]

it's Constantine all over again

[maddy]

So do I have to blame you Lilith? I knew you were a powerful woman, but I didn't know you were this powerful.

[Lilith]

I have had the day from hell. If I don't go to bed someone will lose a limb I fear.

I feel really bad now too. Stuck under the American Idol contract so they can't just go it alone. Un freakin believable.

[Sugarsprinkles]

I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!! UNREAL!!! They really got it all wrong this time. It wasn't my very favorite, but I honestly though this person would at the very least be one of the two finalists, if not the overall winner. How could this happen?? The one that should have left didn't...........and that person really did deserve to leave......not the one that did. I'm totally dumfounded!!

[imaginewithme]

How about the way they told the person....."you were one of the people expected to win, but you're going home" was the person lookin' shocked or what???

Rigged!

[NirvanaJane]

I can't believe Chris got booted. Kat should have gone... she's been struggling for a couple weeks, and he's been thriving.

I can't fucking believe it.

[Cheyanne]

Recount!!! Recount!!!!

[Steph]

It looks like Taylor is unbeatable.

I haven't watched any television for several weeks but I still stand by my first love of that dude. I just loved his smooth style & I think a lot of people like him because he represents "the anti-Britney/Jessica/Lindsay/Paris, etc. "

Also, my jaw dropped during his audition on the first show because of his smooth, old-school influences. I think he could really give a good jam night somewhere. The rest of them always seem so stylized. Sure, the guy's a bit jumpy or something but he is something the music industry hasn't had enough of lately, IMOSHO

I'm off to look for online video of him. :D

[LixyChick]

I'm done! I can't watch anymore! I don't care who wins now...I just don't care!

[Lilith]

He was superb and always true to his self. Btw I think he has the perfect rocker name too.

[maddy]

Didn't Simon say something to that nature Lil? It was in the farewell video too.... of all the AI contestants you are the only one that refused to change? ... it was something like that. I just adore him and his story. I'm not always a fan of what he's singing, but recognize that he does sing it well even when I don't like it.

I have to agree with Steph though too ... I adore Taylor. He's got some strange movements, but also has a very unique style and has seemingly refused to bend from his personna.

[Eliza]

Horrible. I can't beleive he's been voted off. In my opinion the others don't hold a candle. He was effortlessly tallented. Being on a stage seemed like second nature to him. I loved Kelly Clarkson. She was fantastic too. And I've not liked a single American Idol as much as her until Chris. I'm not saying that the others aren't tallented. They are. But Chris was the entire package. I truely hope he gets through the "American Idol" web and goes on to totally kick ass on his own or with a band.

*getting off my soapbox*

Eliza

[Sugarsprinkles]

My favorites were Kellie and Taylor. I was disappointed when Kellie left, but she had two bad weeks in a row. I saw it coming and she did deserve to leave. As much as I enjoy Taylor, I expected that Chris would beat him out. I honestly thought it would come down to the two of them. As much as Elliott has grown, he's nowhere near as good as Chris. Katherine really did poorly this week and she deserved to go home. Even she expected to be leaving. Did you see the shock on her face when Chris was told he was leaving? This is truly a stunning decision. And again, as much as I like Taylor, the show won't be nearly as much fun now that the real competition is gone.

I predicted from the start that it would come down to Mandisa and Chris. Goes to show what I know... :rolleyes:

I think of the remaining 3 that Elliott has the best voice. I also think he's not going to win. I'd go to a Taylor concert in a heartbeat because he's such fun to watch. Mainly for that reason, I think he'll win... even though several who have gone home have better voices.

[imaginewithme]

You guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't watch it on Tuesday nights anymore........c'mon give me the updates........how was everyone??? Who's going home next?????

[Lilith]

I liked Taylor tonight. He sang Dancing in the Dark, You are so Beautiful, and Try a Little Tenderness. 3 superb choices.

[jennaflower]

Taylor has been my favorite from the beginning... altho I thought the final too should be Chris & Taylor, Chris leaving prematurely (in my opinion) only made it more likely that Taylor will win.

I would like to see Elliott go to the final two with Taylor because doing so will only solidfy Taylor as the winner. Katherine still has a chance.

Personally, I didn't like any of the songs that either Elliott or Katerine performed last nite.

[imaginewithme]

hhhmmm..... close race tonight! :(

[Sugarsprinkles]

Extremely close vote tonight. It could have been any one of them. I was still a bit surprised. Not upset, just surprised.

[Lilith]

Katherine to me belongs on Broadway not on the Pop charts.

[Sugarsprinkles]

Hopefully that's where she'll end up. She's got a big, strong voice that's just made for Broadway. I still think the final should have come down to Taylor and Chris.

ahahahahahahahah..... someone kicked some serious ass tonight as far as I'm concerned. It was a good show and I'm anxious to see the results tomorrow night.

[Lilith]

I think so too. Anxiously awaiting the finale but I have to say I'm not as excited as I would be if my Chris were still in it.

[txgrneyes]

For a finale I was not impressed tonite.


My vote would go to Taylor.

who? who? who? I was at classssssssssss :(

[imaginewithme]

OH BOY........I'm soooo glad!

[Lilith]

It was the only choice left.

Btw my skin crawls when I see Chris doing the "Idol" hokey shit.

But as one friend put it he does "System of a Nickelback Creed" well. :o


I cannot believe the guy who gave me shivers at the auditions won! I thought he wouldn't have made the Top 10. I can't wait to see what he does in the future!

[Steph]

And what about Mr. Aiken's first appearance since the stupid scandal?

I thought he looked a bit too brown for me but it was a definite hit for the normally cynical Intraweb users I know.

[Lilith]

The funky strainghtened bangs were too much for me. Someone needs to take away his chi.

[imaginewithme]

It was the only choice left.

Yeah, HE even looks like it bothers him.......damn he's still so freakin' foxy!!!

Hopefully, we'll see him (Chris)skyrocket and do wonderful!

[maddy]

I'm irritated that I missed the ending and my tivo wasn't picking it up either.
