American Idol

[KMan101]

Taylor is not a shoe-in. I'm predicting an "upset".

I'm just laughing that everyone is so shocked and disgusted that Chris was voted out. It's not the end of the world so stop acting like it. Katharine and Elliot easily have better vocals than Chris. And Mike, I dunno why you call Katharine "fake and phony" you don't even know her as a person, so...

Instead of it being Taylor's to lose, IMO, it just became Elliot's to lose.

[darraholic]

I'm not a fan of Katharine at all. I think she way too overrated.

Hopefully, Elliott wins now.

[GHmin]

I really hope Elliott wins!! Or even Taylor!!

I am not a Katharine fan...she hits this horrible note in most of her performances which makes me cringe. Besides that bad note though she's not bad.

I have to say I was shocked Chris got voted off, and it looked like HE was shocked too. But, I can understand why....he hasn't sung his best in the last couple of weeks, so it was his to lose.

I really liked Taylor at the beginning of this, but not so much anymore, so I'm hoping he's the next to go.

I really like Katharine, but think Elliot is a better singer, so I hope Elliot takes wins.

ICAM! And speaking of Joe Cocker, a great entertainer, he too moved as if he was about to have a seizure on stage. I don't know if he had any physical ailments, but I loved it! Now Taylor makes me want to smile, laugh, dance and sing along with him all at once... Now that's the mark of a true entertainer IMO.

Actually, no.

Chris does have better vocals than Kat.

Kat actually is not talented vocally. Kellie, Mandisa, and Paris all were better singers than Kat. Besides hitting a quasi-good note at the end of every song that makes America wet their pants, she sucks. She knows she sucks the most of the four. She was expecting to leave, as she should have expected and as she should have. And the look on her face when Christ left was nothing but guilt.

Taylor IS a shoe-in to win. And I am hoping for an upset, as well, if he is up against Elliot.

And yes, I do believe she is fake and phony. That's my opinion, and I'm entitled.

I really thought that Kat was going home, it should hvae been Kat. Chris was great, and I was sad to see him go.

As for Taylor and Ellit, I really don't like either of them, so now I am rooting for Kat to win, but I think she is going next week.

[DaysnPassionsFan]

I still think Chris sounds like a goat sometimes

[Daphne]

I refuse to step on the McPhee Love Train. Katharine is OKAY, but hardly anything special. As much as I've criticized Chris in the past, the one who should have gotten eliminated last night was Katharine. I hope she goes next week.

I have my problems with Taylor as well. He's too damn theatrical. I can't fawn over him like those in his Soul Patrol do, but I do believe that Taylor at this point is untouchable. Katharine can't beat him. Elliott, who I am rooting for 100%, cannot beat him. Taylor Hicks will be the next American Idol. And this has nothing to do with talent (not implying he isn't talented). But Taylor's fan base is friggin' huge

[King]

Anyone hear that Chris is going to make a "big announcement tonight on Leno?"

Fact or fic?

Chris Daughtry Voted Off 'Idol' But Won't Go Home a Loser

May 11, 2006

Studdly rocker Chris Daughtry got the “Idol” boot on Wednesday night, after being deemed the odd-on favorite winner for this installment of the hit FOX reality competition.

While Chris won’t walk away a winner on “American Idol,” his dreams of rocking out forever will still come true.

On Thursday’s “Extra,” Daughtry will get an offer to front a famous band. The surprise will unfold on the “Extra” set, as the band members will appear to make the offer.

And “Extra” can promise, this is an offer that simply can’t be refused! See who wouldn’t let the rocker go home empty-handed!

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's fuel!!!!!!!!!!!!

Confirmed on Extra's website!

Awesome, Chris! He SO deserves it!

[tina m]

I was shocked about Chris, wow. I hope taylor or Kat win

[alwaysAMC]

I just found out as I was gone last night...but this is BULLSHIT!

Chris was the best contestant there. He was the most marketable, the most talented, and the best all around. I guess since I didn't vote I shouldn't be able to say anything, but there must have been too many Chris fans like me. Anyway this sucks and AI sucks now IMO.

I guess I'll root for Katherine even though she doesn't deserve it. Elliot might be good, but he's not marketable and if he wins you won't see him in the mainstream. Taylor...well I just don't like him or think he's that talented.

[PhoenixRising05]

I agree it sucks but big congrats to Chris. He will be awesome. I am going to root for Kat and Elliot. I don't want Taylor anywhere near that finale unless he wows me but I doubt it. It's fine for him to dance but vocals need to be there too. If I get a good vocal performance, I will be the first to come on here and eat crow but I just don't see him impressing me.
