I'm watching the DVRed episode of the results show but I had heard on the radio that someone had dropped out of the competition. I guess I'll find out later but who was it?

ETA: I guess it was just a late recap about the rumors of Stephanie leaving unless someone know's something I don't.

Tonight's Show.

Any thoughts?

Elliot did very well, IMO.

I am too through with the girl that forgot the words to "Lately":rolleyes: :confused: :o

Is it me or is the talent lacking this season?:(

I like Paris, she looks like a cute little baby doll but has an amazing voice.
The other black girl did ok tonight, im not sure what her name is. However, no one has been able to send chills up my spine like Fantasia. I was hoping for a lot since it was Stevie Wonder night but no one did it for me.:(

Mandisa is the other girl that performed. I agree, she was just ok. Elliot to me was what the leading performer of the night. Bucky singing Superstitious.:eek:

Okay, so Allison was destined to go home. How can you mess up the lyrics to a Stevie Wonder song standing in the man's face?:confused:

Hey Ladies (been more than a minute since I've been on GC)

Alas, it's AI5 so I've gotta throw my two pennies in!

Kevin: I'm personally offended that that lil chicken lil kid, Kevin is still in the competition. I was too through when he was chosen over Gedeon. Please tell me why he's still here?

Ace: I think he's ever sooo cute. Him real seshy for a white boy. Will he be the next AI? extremely doubtful.

Chris: AWESOME! I predict he'll be the next AI, afterall they've never had a white male to win. So... but aside from that, dude can really blow and he definitely has the IT factor. Wasn't feeling him this week with his SW selection (forgot the song) but he's still the bomb!

Paris: My favorite next to Chris, she gives me more than chills. I actually teared up Tuesday night. She's so highly favored. God has truly blessed that chile!

Taylor: Love him, but realistically he won't be the next AI. He simply doesn't fit the profile but he's enjoyable to watch!

The other folk are talented but those are the only ones that stand out to me.

Kevin, pleazzzz carry yo tail home. It's sooo long overdue.

Was it me or was Stevie a little reluctant when they asked his opinion on the singers' ability and whether he thought they had a future super star in the group? He was like "well...I heard them...and I have my opinions..." LOL

Blame it on the Sun is a very important song to me, for personal reasons, so listening to Kellie Pickler destroy it like that hurt my soul. :(

Pickler needs to go.

My favorites: Elliott, Mandisa, Chris, Taylor, and Parris.

Lisa reminds me of (the late) Aaliyah.

Mandisa would have done better by singing Susperstition, imo.

I agree. I liked Kellie at her audition. Even though she has more of a country flare, I thought she had a very strong voice. Rattler, does that refer to Florida A & M?

Damn skippy! :D

Aww man..so you guys don't like Katherine..that's my favorite this season so far!

My other 2 cents!!

Paris: While she is awesome to be so young I think America will view her as another Fantasia and might want something "different" this season..

Lisa: Is fading away which is probably she was in the bottom this week.

Mandisa: She's good I missed her performance this week but she does pretty good usually.

Bucky: Umm and you're still here because???

Chris: I like him too.

Elliot: The boy can sang. But umm if you win make sure u set aside some $$ for the grill..

Taylor: I love his spirit!

Steven (?) Chicken Little: Yeah he needs to go.

Ace: While he is very attractive and can sing I need him to bring more than his looks next week cuz he's fading as well.

Who else did I miss? If I missed 'em it's probably cuz I don't remember them and they need to step it up!!

ETA: I left out Kelly but I actually like her cuz she's a ditz..it's funny listening to her and she can sing.

I need them out- Kellie, Ace, Kevin, Bucky

I need them to step it up- Mandisa, Lisa, Elliott

I just dont get the hype- Chris

Good last night- Paris, Taylor, Katherine(except for the shrill high part)

This is the worst season by a mile... I frankly dont care who wins.......

Note: Gedeon would have rocked Stevie Wonder

I'm originally from Tallahassee however, I graduated from that other school on the other side of the tracks!:)

Paris has done it again!!!!! Elliot is getting ready to bring the house down once again.:D

from TWOP.. It kinda sums up my feelings

It's 1950s night, and Barry Manilow, Ryan Cabrera, and Constantine are all in the house. Okay? I'm not sure what's going on, exactly, but I won't rule out a zoological event of some kind. So, but except for the many rodent-like facial qualities that Barry possesses, he's also chock full of shit-talk and even a truly committed Pickler gag, and who knew I'd end up kind of liking him?
Anyway, Mandisa does her hair up all big and beautiful for her version of Dinah Washington's "I Don't Hurt Anymore." She renders the judges incapable of words, except for Simon who manages "stripper." Strangely enough, he's not wrong, and it is awesome. The theme with the judges this week, by the way, is "The Vocals Aren't the Best, But…" To wit: Bucky sings Buddy Holly's "Oh Boy," and he sounds like no fewer than three different singers, none of whom I'd really care to hear again. His hair is back to looking like he slept in a back alley somewhere, though it's still slightly poofy, enough to make you think the alley is behind the unisex salon. Paris is resplendent in yellow and we finally get to see her do "Fever," and it's great. She's pretty and the performance is on point and she manages to not be an asshole even once, so we're cool for this week, I guess. Chris performs "Walk the Line" in name only, let me tell you. It's the Stappiest version of a country song you could ever possibly imagine, and the light show is frankly embarrassing, but I admire Chris's fierce devotion to subverting the show's actual rules and regulations, whereas somewhere in America, Jacob's head popped clean off his body.

Kat McVee McPhee has some giggly harsh words for too-cool-for-school Simon, before knocking Ella Fitzgerald's "Come Rain or Come Shine" out of the damn ballpark. Vocally she's playing catch-up a lot, but girlfriend knows how to move about a stage and is one of the precious few who looks like an actual performer in her own right. She's gorgeous and wonderful and her free-wheeling boobs make Ryan so very nervous. Not even Barry Manilow is safe from Taylor Hicks's in-your-face brand of jackassery, and he sings that song that sort of sounds like "Hand Jive" and sort of like "I Want Candy" but is actually "Not Fade Away" by Buddy Holly. It sounds both like Taylor and yet also like nothing at all. It disappears from your ears the second it hits them. Additionally, it sparks a Watts-level riot amongst the judges, for whatever reason

Lisa ("Why Do Fools Fall in Love?") and Kevin ("When I Fall in Love") both take it to the high school musical revue place, and Simon calls one of them on it. He also goes for the reverse juju on Kevin like he should have been doing for a couple weeks now, so we'll see how that works out. Elliott absolutely hates Barry Manilow and isn't afraid to say so. I was not expecting that. Ryan tries to bail him out for a hundred hours, but Elliott's sticking by his profound distaste. Guess we found someone he won't be crying over, eh? He sings "Teach Me Tonight," and it's once again brilliantly sung and boring as sin. Everybody's so elderly this year! Young ones, old ones, dumb ones, cute ones, they all grew up inside their grandparents' record collections. Kellie Pickler set her own personal make-up gun to "corpse," I think. What the holy hell is going on there? Barry makes fun of her totally hardcore, and it's lovely, and then she sings some Patsy Cline in her usual shit-kicker bar style, and I've heard worse, but I am not kidding when I say that she looks like the Grim Reaper's court jester. Finally, Ace sings a "jazzy" version of "In the Still of the Night," and all the things he's good at, he does well. "Singing" not being particularly one of them, but that has never really mattered in the slightest. He's also got a bit of the "open casket Irish wake" thing happening, but I'm sure some of that is his usual perma-blush.

Well......Chicken Little (Kevin) is gone.:( I'm just glad he didn't get emotional about it. Nice kid but, I think he just doesn't have the image of an American Idol. He's just a little boy!

I know but he is such a cutie pie :(

Paris Bennett has done it again!!! She and Elliott were by far the best tonight. Taylor........ well Taylor was himself as usual. I was a little disappointed with Mandisa tonight but over all, it was a good show.

American Idol Is FIXED!!
 

There is no way that Paris, Elliot and Mandisa was the bottom three!!!!

MANDISA IS GONE!!!!:confused:

They are really clearing the way for a white male idol!

Chris (I wouldn't mind him), Taylor (which I wouldn't mind, either), or Katherine (NOOOOOOOOOOOO!)

this is the worst season ever AND they doing Queen next week.. WHY????

If they just have to have a white male I would go for Elliot. I think he has a lot of soul and a nice personality on top of it. I didn't know he's a diabetic who wears an insulin pump.

I like Ace as well, he's rugged. But, for some reason I believe the public is REALLY feeling Chris.

I can't put my finger on and YES I think he can sing... but Elliotts voice bothers me for some reason

What's wrong with Katherine?? I love her!!

for me she is incredibly painful when she goes for high notes... I think she can sing though.. she just goes there sometimes

PARIS BENNETT WAS AMAZING LAST NIGHT..... it was "almost" a SUMMERTIME moment

Another great night for Katherine..

I really do love her!!!

WTF, Paris Bennett goes home!

We're not surprised. But you know what? She has some serious stuff in the works, and I bet she will have a more successful career than any of the other contestants--even the eventual winner.

True, but I am still done with watching this season. I was only watching, at this point, because of her.

I stopped watching months ago but just read of her elimination. She will be very successful and well embraced. Idol just gave her exposure and added to her fan base. :D

I also stopped watching months ago. I agree with everyone has said so far. I'm actually glad that she was eleminated, because there is a good chance that she won't get signed under Simon's music machine and that she will wind up with people who can take her carrer to the next level. Rumor has it that it may be Beyonce's father.

Did anyone notice why Kelly did so successful with her latest album? Because she let Simon go!:)

I actually liked her Prince rendition.. it was playful and fun after she was singing seriously for the last few weeks... I'll probably finish the season out.. since I'm so invested right now.. but NC is getting ready to welcome another American Idol winner...

They will certainly hold auditions in NC next year:cool:

Paris is very talented for her age and will go a long way with out American Idol.
Good Luck in your endeavors Paris.
No need to watch AI anymore; I've lost interest.

So....Katharine or Taylor..

I think you already know who I'm voting for but let's see what America says...I wasn't real pleased with anyone's last song or the run backs..

Taylor Hicks, hands down. Kat to me is just another Christina Aguilara type. I think America is so used to her type. We need something completely diffferent. Plus, there's never been a white male Idol thus far. I think Taylor will win. Taylor seemed more confident than Kat on their last song.

GO TAYLOR!!!!!! :cool:

I pick...
 

I pick Taylor.

I didn't vote last night, but I would say that Taylor will be the new American Idol.

Cat was just wack...I crack me up! :D

I picked Taylor..........
 

From day one, till I heard CHRIS!!!! Chris sounded like a professional singer, I know he will go far with his vocals!!! He should have won this HANDS DOWN!!!! BUT...since he didn't I will go back and say Taylor Hicks!!! My mom thot I was crazy when I picked him as AI when he first appeared ,,,she thot he looked too old, but I thought he had a lot of SOUL and was different from everyone else!

I REALLY loved him when they told him he was in the top 12 and he walked out playing the harmonica....MAN that was CLASSIC!!!! So looks like my mom owe me one if he wins......
