Actually DialIdol predicted Kat and Elliott as possible B3 with Paris or Kellie going home. They are 85% accurate for the season.

Let's just hope they are correct again this week so the one trick pony Chris will finally be booted. Go Elliott!

Here's the final #s

1-2 Taylor Hicks 29.75

1-2 Elliott Yamin 29.18

3-4 Katharine McPhee 25.62

3-4 Chris Daughtry 25.24

Really? You think Chris is the best? different strokes I guess lol

IMHO he sings in the same key on every song, no vocal range at all, and he's cocky. Tonight, he took A little Less Conversation and turned it into a sexual camera [!@#$%^&*] song. But, he would be the perfect lead singer for a rock band. :lol:

I like everyone but Taylor. Kat and Chris have been my faves though but if I had a choice I would let Kat go. Chris going would be a travesty-it would be like the crappy season that was season 3. If I remember after Latoya got voted off the ratings the finale of AI were the lowest for a finale they have had. If Chris gets knocked out I think there will be a similar result.

If dialidol is right, I can't understand how people would find Taylor that good. His little drunken bar dances need to go-I am sick to death of him getting by in this competition on his dancing and "soul patrol" crap. I let it go until now because he is a great performer but its all about the vocals and this guy has not and will not cut it and that is the truth.

GRR if Chris goes tomarrow I am going on a tirade :angry: .

No way Taylor or Elliot will win this.

Katherine and Chris are more marketable.

I think Chris will win beacuse 'rock is in' again and the Idol producers will want a different kind of winner this season and to make up for Bo Bice losing to Carrie. This year the rocker will win.

Chris was good last night but actually a little boring. I think Elliot or Katharine will still go, regardless of DialIdol's numbers. Elliot owned that show last night, so he does NOT deserve to go. I'll be so sad to see him eliminated.

I want Katharine to stay too though. She was okay last night. Not fantastic. Taylor did well, I actually really like him now, but he's like Chris, boring in his performances now. Those two look like they are asleep. Katharine and Elliot genuinely look excited and have a good time each week, I can't say that for the other two.

I frankly do not see Chris going, as much as it would thrill the hell out of me. He's a good singer but does NOT need American Idol. He'll have hundreds of offers, so... Elliot or Taylor would benefit the most from winning, IMO.

It will be so ugly if Chris is voted off tonight!

Some good soap opera like drama that's for sure.

Chris getting voted out tonight would be comparable to a Frankie Frame or Maureen Bauer or Gabrielle Medina write off.

Everyone would just [!@#$%^&*] themselves. The [!@#$%^&*] heard round the world. lol

I think he was the worst singer of the night and he should be kicked off because of it.

Everyone I talk to about American Idol always says Chris will be the winner. For months now I that's all I have heard. I really like him too. I do. But I think he looks and sounds like all the other sheep out there to me.

He is forgettable to me. He would be good in a band. Like a Soundgarden or a Cake...but I see nothing original with the guy. I've seen it all before. I've heard it all before. I swear Chris has sang the same song like 11 times in a row this season.

I really enjoyed Taylor and all his Taylorisims this year.

It shocks me that I say that...but I did. Great voice. Scary to watch at times. Love the guy

I also found Katherine to be very good and unique at times. Very sexy and smart. Love her too.

But I said way back when to all my friends that the final 6 would be Chris,Kat,Taylor,Paris,Elliot and Mandisa (Damn that pickle girl)....

And the winner would be Elliott.

Everyone was like all "eww" and whinny about it. But I have stuck to my choice for months now.

My boy Elliott has grown and blossomed into an excellent performer. He has really been working hard and kept his game going strong. I love his style of singing. His voice moves me...not in a Paula "You Moved Me" kind of way...but I feel his music. Elliot's CD will be the first American Idol related CD I have ever bought.

I like Kelly and Fantasia but I have no desire to buy their music.

What happened to all the Rufus Wainwrights? The Bob Dylans? I'm not saying Elliott is in that league but more like that those guys are not the normal type of artist. I want something unique in my winner this year. I don't want another blandness marketable walking and talking plastic sheep action figure. All together now. Bhaaa. Bhaaa. (Like RENT's Jump Over the Moon) Enough is enough!

I remember thinking to myself "that Amish looking guy has something there" back at the start of all this. I still think that...except the Amish part. He looks pretty good now. He looks good with the goatee and a good hair cut. Never use a salad bowl to cut your hair. lol

What makes him really hot is that the guy is humble and seems very genuine and down to earth.

He is what an American Idol winner should be. If he doesn't bring home the win I will still see him as the winner. He is a great find I think.

Didn't that nerd kid Clay Akin lose...but still seem like he won? If that piece of [!@#$%^&*] can 'win' (yes Claymates, that piece of poop) then Elliot should be able to have a long and successfull career road ahead of himself.

Go Elliott!

omg! I just thought of E.T. and how he says Elliott.

I'm gonna have to now chant and annoy the hell out of some of my friends with that E.T. voice if Chris gets his walking papers tonight. And I'll make sure to bring a roll a toilet paper for it all.

I picked Chris from the auditions and I actually have always picked the correct winner early on and stuck by them. Elliott has always been my second favorite even though I never thought America would vote him this far. But as the season has gone on, Elliott has gotten better and Chris has gotten worse in a way. He has picked up some of Ace's staring into the camera and his choices have been a bit off. I thought last night both his songs could/should have been better. It's almost like he's tired of Idol.

I'm still rooting for a Chris/Elliott final and hope it's Kat that leaves tonight.

But if it comes down to that, I may be rooting for Elliott in my heart because I think he would benefit the most from winning it all.

I feel the same way. I know it may sound childish and I know we have to vote but there is something wrong with the system of Katherine doesn't get the boot tonight, she was the worst of all of them. If Chris, whom I think should win this thing, goes home then IDOL just blows and it would prove that season five had to have been the nail in the coffin because the show is not producing what it set out to. If Katherine wins this thing then it would be worst. Katherine is good but she is not the best and the last thing the show needs is another Kelly Clarkson.

There are talented people who get passed over every day in the world for less talented. But singing talent is very subjective, at least with these four. I know people who love all four so who is right and who is wrong? America has to decide. No matter who your favorite is, if they don't connect with America as much as someone else, they won't win, regardless of talent.

Agreed on all accounts. Taylor is good when he isn't acting like a drunken fool. Too bad he is 9 out of 10 times. He stinks. This is coming from someone who used to love him.

I was hoping that. Chris is probably the only person whose CD I'd ever buy from any Idol season. But dialidol.com is almost never wrong.

And there is *ALWAYS* a huge upset in the final four week!

I would love to see the vote totals from every week for the top votegetters. It would probably give us a lot of insight on trends and how popular someone like Taylor really is. I kept hearing about Pickler being incredibly popular but then two bad weeks and she was out.

Has anyone else played Taylor Pac-man yet?

This is interesting...

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,194812,00.html

This was written yesterday so I don't know what this means. Either AI knows Elliot will go out no matter what since he was far behind the others in votes the last few weeks or something or someone is being an idiot and just guessing. I know Kat and Chris always do well in text message votes so I wouldn't knock one of those two out yet. If there is any justice Taylor will go and that would be a shock too and would make me very happy.

If Chris goes tonight you will be seeing me venting here tonight :angry: .

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
