No

Well, and herein lies the other issue that I've had with AI for a long time now. I tried to vote. My daughter tried to vote from her dad's house. Neither of us could get through after trying repeatedly. If you can't ever get through, then how can you vote? Only by text message and sorry, but Cingular isn't getting any more of my money just so I can vote for AI. Wayyyy back when Ayla was kicked off, my daughter had tried to vote for her repeatedly too and could never get through. Makes me wonder if E19 deliberately ties up phone lines to make things interesting and shape the results.

American Idol all of a sudden is lame. Chris sparked my interest in the show once again for the first time since season 1. Who is this Elliott guy? All the contestants left on the show are definitely weaker than Chris. Katharine is the only one with potential left. Taylor looks and performs like sideshow bob, and I don't know how Elliott still remains in the comp.

America! You blew this one!

This is the best thing that could've happened for Chris. Chris' voice and style is best as a frontman of a rock band. If he won, he'd be singing cheesy pop/rock songs like Bo. This gives him the chance to do his own thing without being a slave to 19E forever.

Personally, I like Elliott the best but I don't think he has a chance of winning. He doesn't have the "look". If only they could take Ace's face and body and put it with Elliott's voice, they'd have the perfect American Idol. Milli Vanilli anyone? :)

He would be a great frontman for a rock band, but who's to say that the American Idol isn't supposed to be in a rock band? They could have created a band around him, or he could've been a rock solo artist. Regardless, everyone left on the show isn't nearly as good as Chris.

the phone system does just suck.. i can never get through when i am calling for elliot. a lot of people were complaining about this in richmond.. calling the tv station, phone companies.. soo...

a few places, even a phone company, have set up in richmond where they have phones for speed dial or something like that. i think cingular has set up where you can even come into their store during the time period and text message for free. the deal is you can vote for anyone you want, but its so people can get votes in for elliot..

each week more and more things are taking place to get people to vote for elliot and tomorrrow they are having a whole day of events planned bc American Idol is coming to tape him back here in richmond

Same goes for Taylor here. He's even giving a concert tomorrow @1:45.

I'm going to have to agree with ZTAngel on this one.

We all said the same thing about Bo... how it would be awesome if he could get a rocking band to back him.

19E produces the next hot one minute item. And if Chris got a band... they'd probably make him sound more like Matchbox Twenty (no offense to the fans) than Fuel. The producers and subsequent label doesn't provide that kind of support. And the contract is HORRENDOUS. (Give us your first born, that type of isht.)

Chris is better off. He wouldn't have to wait 7 years or 5 albums to have a say in his career now.

And he seems to know TOO much about the industry. 19E likes 'em dumb.

No offense to you meant. I'm just saying 19E ain't the label for Chris and I'm glad he's gone... for his own good.

I am sad that he is gone, but I do agree with this statement. He will get a contract no matter what and I think he will probably be better off.

I am rooting for Elliott from now on!!

FUEL WANTS CHRIS

Fuel wants Chris. Watch Extra tonite

I tried to vote for Chris on Tuesday and couldn't get through at all, on either number. I am bummed that he's off - I really thought he was going to win!

If Katharine wins, AI is dead to me.

I hope Chris takes Fuel's offer. I am done watching AI this season.

Chris would be smart to take that offer. He'd have the chance to join an already well-known band, and make it better, IMHO. I think he'd be awesome as Fuel's frontman.

*hijack*

What happened to Fuel's old lead singer? I thought I heard something that he passed away, but I can't remember.
