I'm gonna have to go all Simon Cowell on everybody and disagree with the Mandisa sentiments. She was bleh, IMO.
Katherine McPhee, on the other hand, was incredible. And she's just so gosh darn purty!
Chris Daughtry definitely gave the best performance for the men last night. Awesome rendition of Bon Jovi. I voted for him three times.
Bobby Bennett reminds me of Homer Simpson. Simon hit the nail right on the head during his audition, saying he reminded him of a drunk at a bar.
Ace did incredible last night, too.
Taylor Hicks would have to be my sentimental favorite. SB is right, he is soooo not American Idol, but my God, can the guy sing or what?
Here's my breakdown of personal favorites:
Girls Katherine McPhee Lisa Tucker Ayla Brown
Guys Chris Daughtry Ace Young Taylor Hicks Elliot Yamin
Who should go tonight?
Girls Brenna Gethers Heather Cox
Guys Bobby Bennett (d'oh!) Kevin Covais (great voice for a 16 year old, but too one-dimensional)
