American Idol

Taylor or Elliot should win.

Chris is good but he bores me because he ALWAYS sings the SAME song. I mean this week it was like the exact same type of song. PICK SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

Katharine is my underdog. My girl. I agree she seems a bit snobbish, but eh ... lol.

Chris and Elliott have always been my faves but several weeks ago I didn't think a final between them was possible. Now I do. I'm hoping Elliott has two great performances next week.

Elliot fans, vote like YAMIN it!!!!!!!!!

I think Elliot is next. Kellie and Paris were bottom two last time, with Kellie going first, and now Paris.

I don't know how people can say Chris always sings the same songs-he has sang ballads/slower songs like 3 times this season. If anyone should be accused of singing the same songs all the time its Elliot. I like him don't get me wrong but he lacks a great deal of personality and stage presence. His vocals are amazing but he also has no fanbase-he will be gone next week for sure unless someone really stinks next week.

Taylor is good performance wise but his tricks are wearing thin with me. His vocals leave alot to be desired and are good enough for top 3 but not to reach the finale.

Katherine I can't see as snobbish but as taking what the judges say with a grain of salt. In the beginning, she listened to them and wasn't cocky but lately the judges have been out of it when it comes to judging her. Last week they all bashed her and then apologized for wrongly doing so and this week Simon didn't even know what he was saying and had to go back and explain himself. She probably figures they don't know what the hell they are saying so why bother The snobbish argument was used a great deal with Carrie last year too because she did come off like that since she was always perfect vocally with a little mistake here and there. Katherine hasn't been perfect but she has been consistent with a bad song once in a while but her vocals are fantastic and, like Simon said, they are so good I think people get turned off by them. She deserves to be in the finale with Chris-both of them have the criteria of what makes the American Idol: the look, vocals, stage presence, comfortable on stage and on camera, consistency, can sing more then one genre (yes Chris has proven that), and there are no gimmicks (*cough* Taylor *cough*).

If its not Chris/Kat in the finale then AI once again missed the boat after having it right last year.

Sorry to see Paris go! Taylor (the ol' drunk, lol) or Elliott ( I like him but this was his worst week so far) should've gone.

Katharine is not snobbish at all. I don't see that at all. She admitted she didn't do "Against All Odds" very good. A snob would've said they did it great lol!! Just because you don't like a performer doesn't mean you have to make things up about them.

EXACTLY!!!!!! Great post Phoenix!

[RogerNewcomb]

I don't get all the Katharine love. She is not as good Paris IMO. She made Scott Savol's version of Against All Odds sound like a masterpiece. It's one thing to maybe do a bland version ie Elliott, but to totally butcher a song like that is not AI material.

I want Elliot to win. I really, really do. I may actually vote this week to try and keep him around, even if it means Katharine goes. I love her to death though.

I'm not really all that set on Chris winning anymore. I was okay with it for a while but now I want to see Elliot or even Taylor win this thing. Chris will have loads of other opportunities with bands, so I think it'd mean more to Elliot, Taylor and Kat.

[Jonathan]

I want Elliot to win too! He has the best voice. I urge all Yamin Machine fans to vote this week!

[tina m]

I'm rooting for Katharine. I hope she at least gets into the top 3.

[BottomGuy74]

I am delighted Paris has been sent home. I was really dreading her winning this thing. Taylor or maybe Chris will be the next american idol.

[King]

I am so sick of TAYLOR!

[alwaysAMC]

I'm sick of Taylor too - he's somewhat entertaining, but not a great vocalist.

Chris was awesome with "Suspicious Minds" - that is one of my favorite songs and he did well!

Elliot - eh, I just can't get into the guy.

[King]

Elliot was so good tonight! Best of the night!!!

[PhoenixRising05]

Loved the theme tonight-Elvis is great. Ryan is gonna get into some hot water after that Paula comment about her dancing and him offering up a dollar.

Taylor-Sick of him. The vocals suck and the dancing is same old as usual and getting old fast. That second performance was nothing amazing. Its a singing competition and he should leave but he won't so see ya next week Taylor.

Chris- Frist song was awesome and the second song had a great ending but the beginning was flat. He should be fine though-loved that he showed personality.

Elliot- His first song was meh but his second song was amazing. I have been saying for week that he needs to switch his style and he did with that second song and he finally wowed me. Best vocal of the night with that second song but it may have been for nothing.

Katherine- Her first performance wasn't horrible vocal wise but I don't think that is bad. She always sings the same thing and this was a nice change of pace to get attention so it may have helped and some may have liked it. Her second song was pretty good-it wasn't as bad as the judges said it was. The vocals were fine by me even though it wasn't her best. She is in danger though.

I came into this week saying Elliot was gone no matter what and I still beleive that. I do think Katherine is in danger though and maybe Chris because his songs weren't as big this week in terms of attention grabbing but I doubt he will go out. It will be between Kat and Elliot and I still think Elliot despite his amazing second performance.
