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

I think I heard that he's doing the solo thing now. Of course, I wouldn't be shocked if he OD'd or something.

Katherine to the finals....

She was sooooo good tonight with Somewhere over the rainbow....

She was great....

All I have to say is Taylor Hicks- American Idol 2006...without a doubt

I love him

See, I much prefer Katharine and Elliot for the finals, with Katharine being my top choice. I SO loved Somewhere Over the Rainbow tonight too!! AMAZING!!

I think Taylor is a shoe-in for the finals, but I honestly don't know who else will be there, but I am rooting for Elliott

When Taylor started his second song, I was chanting "Please don't dance, please don't dance". He sounds great, I just can't stand to watch him.

I'm rooting for Elliot and Katharine.

Chris belongs to 19E until after they do their Idols tour, so Fuel is going to have to wait. He confirmed that he has received an offer, but that he needed to think about what is best for his family and make a decision with a clear head. He seems like a great guy.

KDAngel · #**532** 05-16-2006, 11:18 PM

Okay, since I've been wondering for ages now- what in the world is 19E?

Also, I've been trying to call tonight (maybe the 1st time since season 1) and I've not been able to get through once. And my roommates who are calling for other idols can't get through either. And we've tried all the numbers. Craziness! Esp since it went off over 2hrs ago now.

From Wikipedia:
19 Entertainment, based in the United Kingdom, is a leading creator and producer of entertainment properties, including American Idol in the United States, Pop Idol in the United Kingdom, as well as versions of the Idol Series in more than seventy countries around the world.

The company has recording contracts with and/or manages or has managed former American Idol and Pop Idol participants, such as Carrie Underwood, Bo Bice, Kelly Clarkson, Justin Guarini, Ruben Studdard, Clay Aiken, and Fantasia as well as some of the world's best known musicians and other artists, including the Spice Girls, Annie Lennox and S Club 7.

And, apparently, they have changed their name to 19 Management, so you'll start seeing 19M used instead. From what I've heard, they are quite controlling with the people who do well on Idol, and even, now, anybody who shows up on TV. After the William Hung thing, they changed the contract to ensure that only they have control of these folks, even those who are just shown auditioning but don't make it, for some period of time.

But didn't he look like he was in pain during the song? He sang it well, but it was like all he could do to not bust out with the wacky dancing.

dialidol.com had it close between Katharine and Elliot, with Elliot going home....

bruinaphi · #**535** 05-17-2006, 12:53 PM

I feel mean saying this but I hope it is Elliot who goes home. I am a huge Taylor and Katharine fan and would love to see the two of them in the finals (though I will cry b/c Chris is gone).

kddani · #**536** 05-17-2006, 12:55 PM

I didn't watch last night... but I guess I want Katherine to win. I could stomach seeing and hearing her more than the other two.

I had a really hot dream about Chris last weekend... which is totally odd, because he's really not my type at all.

irishpipes · #**537** 05-17-2006, 01:42 PM

Katherine's "Over the Rainbow" was great. I really hope she takes the judges' advice and stops the over-singing. I hate it when she does that.

It will be Taylor and Katherine with Taylor winning.

NutBrnHair · #**538** 05-17-2006, 02:42 PM

I missed it last night too, but I was hearing about Taylor dancing with Paula Abdul & then just walking away from her. I would have loved that!

JenMarie · #**539** 05-17-2006, 04:08 PM

I was trying to see if Elliot sounded better with my eyes closed last night.

The guy can sing... but I'm kind of meh about him. Not someone I'd listen to on the radio much. None of them are really... but someone has to win.

And did 19E lay down the dough this season? How the HELL did they get a Bruce Springsteen song on the show? I could have sworn Springsteen said he would NEVER let AI use his material. Of course I thought I heard the same for Prince... and look what happened!

Crazy times...

So You Think You Can Dance? So ready for that! This AI season is toast.

SSS1365 · #**540** 05-17-2006, 04:15 PM

Katharine's only good song last night was Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Everything else she totally oversang.

I really don't care who wins. I'd never listen to any of them.
