Taylor is really growing on me, I really enjoyed his performance last night. I thought Katherine was good as well, and don't know why the judges were so hard on her.

As far as Kellie sticking around, MSNBC ran an article yesterday about how "white trash" is trendy right now. I wonder if that has anything to do with her appeal.

"Hey Andrea, what color is Kellie's hair?"

"Blond."

BWAHAHAHA!

I don't know why, but I found that to be really funny.

There are only certain kinds of people that should sing Unchained Melody. Kellie, my friends, is not one of them. I don't care how Leanne Rhimes you get, but it just doesn't mix. It was just DULL. I felt nothing for that song... just wanted it to end. And I LIKE that song. And the whole "pottery buddy" bit was just scary.

I like Chris, Elliot and parts of Katherine's performance. I think David Foster finally taught her to sing in the right key that is best for her. But the performance itself seemed weird. I dunno.

I would like Kellie to leave... this is about where Carmen left in Season two... so I'm hoping she'll do the same. Otherwise... maybe Paris or something.

Kellie sucks beyond belief & needs to go.


Paula needs to sober up prior to filming.

Its def Kellies turn to go. She was very bad.

My bottom 3 are: Kellie, Paris, and I really down know who else

The person I am like more and more is Katharine. I thought she was good though they tore her apart.

I thought Elliott was good but not worthy of Paula crying.

watching american idol again this afternoon I realized how good I thought Chris' performance really was. Man- i fell in love with him today listening to that song- what a hottie!

my bottom three: Kellie, Paris and Taylor?? whatever, I just know that Kellie NEEDS to go home!

Kellie is the Carmen Rasmusen of this season.

.....except 10 times trashier

Actually, I think the judges were right about Katherine... she did kind of oversing it. But she wasn't horrible or anything.

I agree with everyone else- Kellie needs to GO!

Hey, we agreed with America and Kellie is gone!

i'm sad :( but i understand kellie had to go

we all were right!!! Kellie is now gone and Simon apologized to Katharine! Chris and Katharine are my top two as well and I hope to seem them in the finale

Thank you God, my prayers were answered!! Now we can have a real compition with real singers. Onward and Upward!!

yeah :D

Thank goodness Pickler is gone! Made my night, let me tell you. I had to laugh though - did anyone else notice that Paris and Pickler, although in the same group - were standing nowhere near each other?

Thank you GOD! Kellie's elimination has restored my belief that you really do exist! :D

First time, too, that Paris wasn't weeping her eyes out at someone getting voted off the show.

Ding dong the ditz is gone!

I just dont understand why Kellie was still on the show, though?

Good Riddance..and next to go is Taylor..love the dude, but he has to go!

I think Paris may go before him, but they're def the next two probably...

I think this was just the break needed for Paris.. next week with two songs she should knock it out the park and surge into the Top 3.

But thank goodness Kellie is gone.. in a weird twist I found her endearing for the first time as she was saying goodbye

I was the same way. I was actually speechless when they first announced that Kellie was this week's loser. But then I quickly regained my mind and was happy.

I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!!

KELLIE'S GONE!!!!

I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!!
I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!!
I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!! I'm so happy!!

that guy bocelli had to be lip-singing. it was good.

the girls have no chance at this competition. people are saying that its going to be a guy that wins from day 1.

I'm pulling for Chris, Taylor and Katharine in the Top 3.

My top 2 are Katharine and Elliot. I don't know who else I'd want in the top 3. Either Chris or Taylor I suppose, even though I don't want either of them to win.

Chris, all the way. Not only did he sing my all time favorite song this week, he did a fantastic job on it. He is everything.. sexy, great vocalist, great performer. He hasn't improved as much over the season as some others, but that's because there wasn't a lot of room for improvement. He's been this good since the beginning.

Wish he was just 15 years older. I'd let him sing that song to ME.

ok i missed it tonight.. :(

Each contestant sang two songs. The first was a song from the year they were born and the second was a selection from the Billboard charts.

Didn't look to me as if anyone had a perfect night.

I missed it as well.

Anyone mind giving a rundown?

I expected so much out of this Top 5. I was disappointed
there was no best of the night.

I think Taylor was the worst though

None of them we great by any means.

I thought Taylor needed a little work. I love when he gets into the song, but he just wasn't on.

Chris was ok, just normal rocker Chris. I think he will get a deal no matter what, but I don't think I want him to be the winner.

Elliott was ok, but again not great. I liked his second song better than the first one.

Katherine is my fave, but she didnt do good on the first song. The second one I liked, but it was wierd seeing her on her kness moving around. Maybe that's the only way she knows how to dance lol.

Paris was ok too. She is my least fave and its hard for me to like her at all. She is too overdone with her crying all the time and her voice when she talks bothers me. I hope she goes home this week. I wasn't into her songs at all.

Re: Song List 05/02/06
 

This was blaspehmy!!! :mad:

it was bad enough she attempted it, but then she didn't even come close to doing it justice! She gets my vote to go just for that.

I head last year's idol final song this morning and thought:
What if Chris is in the top 2. Will they write a non-adult contemporary ballad for him?

I really do like Chris and I want him to win, but he needs to do some other songs besides the rock ones, it is getting old. I go back to last year and think how Bo was into the rock songs, but A) they were classic rock (a little bit more the taste of the AI crowd) and B) he didn't do them every week.

I really love his voice and want him to win, but sometimes I get bored with his songs because most of them sound the same!!

I knew it!!!!

Elliot is next... then Taylor....

... Then we'll be left with Bo and Carrie.. umm I mean Chris and Kat :p (although I do think Kat is way better than Carrie U)

Eh, I think Elliott really wasn't in the bottom two. They're just trying to spur people into voting for him. (I am a conspiracy theorist.)

My prediction for the elimination order:

4. Katherine
3. Elliott
2. Taylor
1. Chris

I heard somewhere that once crazy Paula cried for Elliott that one night his ratings went up and he got more votes. Did you see how she was all into his song and was up and dancing around like a fool? I swear she is on drugs...

I agree with whoever said they think it will be Elliott to go then Taylor and were left with Kat and Chris.

I think Chris needs to sing some other stuff. He has such a nice voice.

Glad Paris is gone.

I am glad that Paris is gone too- I liked her okay but I knew she was next! I would like for Elliott to leave next and then Taylor...HOWEVER, Taylor has never been in the bottom three or two! The closest I remember him being to the bottom was when they divided them into three groups of two and he wasnt in the bottom two or the top two, just the middle.

We need be careful about that- I think Taylor has a lot of fans! Hopefully Katharine and Chris have more though!

well I like elliott..

i think taylor needs to go next, and I think Katherine too.. I think she really thought that she was going to go home last night. she looked so exhausted.

personally i think chris is the most "sellable" at this point. He is good, but I doubt I would end up ever wanting to buy his music. Thats usually how I look at it.

Elliot is very very talented. I think it would be interesting to see what kind of music he put out.

As far as "sellable" singers go, the only person I would pay money to see in concert is Taylor, even though I don't think he's the best singer. Chris and Elliot I probably wouldn't even bothering listening to, and depending on Katherine's song selection, I probably wouldn't either. None of them, except for Taylor, seems to have any real personality to me.

You know, you people are making me think... Why do I even watch AI anyway? There is not one person whose CD I would want to buy, or whose concert I would go to unless it was free.
