I don't know if I believe those numbers. It's probably FOX trying to build to a suspenseful Finale.

Come on Mike ....

I'm not really surprised she's made it this far. I mean...this *IS* the country who elected Bush....twice.

Come on? Um, this is FOX. Are you that surprised that they would do that?

Elliott went out with class and dignity and he sounded amazing again on Moody's Mood for Love. I honestly don't care about the final two. I think the best singers are not out of the competition. I'm not interested in either a Kat or Taylor CD.

Word.

I don't plan on watching next week's. But damn straight, I will be voting for Taylor.

LOL, Mike ... We get it... you hate Katharine.

I seriously doubt FOX would risk fudging the numbers. I wouldn't put it past them, no, but I seriously doubt it.

Katharine has a shot and I'll be rooting for her!

I used to hate her. I think a stronger word would apply now.

GO Katherine!!

I hope she wins because I think she's more marketable, plus she's younger and prettier than Taylor.

I'm with Toups.

Go Katharine McPhee!

I was sad to see Elliott go, I really like him. What a great guy and singer, I hope he goes far. As for the finale, GO TAYLOR!! I love him.

I was near tears seeing Elliot go. Such a nice normal guy. I love Katharine but it would have been amazing seeing Elliot win American Idol, or at least come in second.

Yes I agree. It would have been so inspirational and emotional if he won. I cried tonight too because I didn't care for him initially but learning more about him and the last few weeks made me connect with him. He is such a nice guy and this reminded me alot of Vonzell last year who was the underdod that many fell in love with only Elliot was more of the emotional favorite.

I am with Toups and Krypton-GO KAT!!!

She would make a much better Idol and I did pick her and Chris from the beginning so one of my picks are there.

LOL KR we know you hate her but its cool. Kat isn't perfect but she is the better choice of the two because I know Taylor really doesn't fit the mold and is annoying most of the time. He has impressed me somewhat but overall I am just not into him.

Yeah, I definitely feel for Elliot and his family/mother. Not a dry eye in the house seeing his mom in that car crying during the parade. Tears of pride and happiness. So cute/sad.

I do think he had the best voice in the competition. Really stinks.

I really don't understand your strong hate for Katherine, Mike. I am not a personal fan of Chris or Elliot, but I know how to give credit where credit is due. You talk about Katherine like she's Charity Rahmer or Maurice Benard for heavens sake!

I'll be pulling for Katherine, but I highly doubt she will win. Either way I'm pleased, this is easily the most interesting top two and I'll be buying cds from both...as long as they don't suck.

I have to agree, Chris B. Katherine has "it." She's got some STRONG-ASS pipes, too. Very impressive vocals on "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." That was THE Idol "moment" of the entire friggin' season!!! That said, yes I criticized Mrs. McPhee for her foolish antics, which could hurt Kat in the end, but contrary to what some may believe, I'm VOTING for Katherine. I love that chick. So I didn't criticize her mom's faux pas to hurt her, it just needed to be said.

I liked Rahmer. She entertained me.

I give credit where credit is due, as well. You can't really find a more objective person than me. I say when my favorites suck. When DAYS sucks, I say it. When JER sucks, I say it. When Paris sucked, I said it. When Chris sucked, I said it. When people I don't like are good, I say it - Kellie, for one. Taylor, for another. "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" was really good. Her first and her third sucked, I thought.

Hey, I'm entitled. I don't like her. I don't like her singing. And she's now, undeservingly, IMO, outlasted my three favorites and stayed instead of them for the last three weeks. So, clearly, why would I like her?

You guys love her. I hate her. Who cares?
