Just for JG...



:p

You know what, I think there's a good chance Elliott makes it to the final next week and here's my reason...

Katharine, in the last few weeks, is coming off like a whiney baby. Every time, EVERY TIME, the judges have something critical to say to her, she makes faces/eye rolls/comments that I think will turn off the voting public. It's as if she finds it so unbelievable and incredulous that someone would even think about criticizing her singing.

One of her comments last night - "You guys have been really hard on me the last couple of weeks."

Well then... SING BETTER!

DialIdol has Katharine and Elliott in a statistical tie as to who is leaving.

My thoughts on last night (aside from my comments above):

Elliott - I liked the Clive Davis song choice, not so much the other two. Elliott had an OK night.

Katharine - Aside from the eyerolls and snide comments, I thought she did a tremendous job with "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." The other two songs were blah. She oversings and effects her song too much, which the judges have been saying over and over. It's time for her to listen.

Taylor - The Clive Davis song choice was a bit boring. The last two songs were entertaining and I thought his version of "You Are So Beautiful" was every bit as good as Katharine's "Rainbow."

I'm hoping for a Taylor-Elliott final but it's probably going to be Taylor-Katharine.

I voted like a madwoman for Elliott last night. I know that he didn't do his best job, but I honestly just love his voice. If you average Elliott's three performances with Kat's three, overall Elliott did better. Katharine's first and third were inferior, IMHO. Although she did very, very well with Rainbow, I have to agree with DS here that she still could get voted off.

Man, what I would do to make a Geoffy sandwich outta that! Just gotta gag the Pickler first!

DAMN

that taylor guy went to my school in hoover, alabama

Wow, Was that close ? Who will get Elliot's votes?

UGH!! My Elliott is gone!! I am amazed that it was that close, though. The vote was almost evenly in thirds. I predict a win for Taylor, though.

JG, just as a side note, I accidentally double-posted in another thread the other night, and when I tried to delete it, the little check box to delete the post was not there and there was a message that said that only a moderator could delete a post. Just an FYI!!

Oh yeah, I forgot about that...
My bad! Thanks!

I was thinking that to but now I am not so sure. Chris was way better than her but she is still there. I never thought I would be saying this but, I will be voting for Taylor for sure Tuesday night.

Katharine just sang Black Horse and the Cherry Tree. She did well, but is that winner material? No. It was fun, it was pleasant, but more than that? I don't think so.

Wow, thanks for reminding me! I was watching the NYY/BOS game and forgot about AI

What a butchered version of Levon...

Me, too. We're flipping back and forth. Wright is actually pitching well! REALLY well!!

Yes, I thought that Taylor blew Katharine off the stage with his first song. However, I was a bit disappointed in Levon. Katharine sang Rainbow beautifully.

Oh, here comes the AI song about puppies and rainbows and flowers and love that they make every finalist sing. My Destiny. Not loving her opening. ZZZZZZ

Oh, man, that was BAD. Horrible, horrible, performance, off on some notes, sharp on others. Sucked. And could they please NOT show her father crying anymore???

The judges are out of their minds!! Kat totally screwed up most of that single -- almost always flat, missing notes left and right... and Paula calls her brilliant??? Too bad I missed her first two songs...

He was crying because he knew she blew the song.

That's probably why they took him out for The Proctologist so early... (He may've been bruised by that ball in the 1st inning or something...)

Taylor's last song was ugly, too... I cringed at that one note he missed. I only caught 3 songs, but they all sucked. I'll catch the beginning of this monstrocity on DVR tomorrow...

P.S. Man, I guess all the judges are deaf tonight...

I sort of liked Taylor's song. I thought he was far superior to Katharine, but then I've liked Taylor from the beginning. I also wanted a Taylor/Elliott finale, so maybe I'm prejudiced. Soul Patrol, indeed!

I think half of Taylor's appeal is that he's so Anti-American-Idol. I mean, the American Idol as a pudgy, white-haired man? That's just too funny!!

taylor hicks is my best friends cousin. Taylor is an idiot you should see the kid act around his family and friends like a jerkoff

Btw, why did they change the format this year? Didn't the two finalists always sing the same song?? Anyone know why it was changed this year? I know that last year, both Bo and Carrie had to sing Inside Your Heavenly Hoo-Hah. I think it was more fair (is that grammatically correct?) when they both had to sing the same song.

I liked Taylor's 1st & 3rd performances. I really wasn't impressed by any of Kathy's performance. Take your crying daddy and go back over the rainbow. I will be voting for Taylor since the ones I wanted to win was voted off. Anybody else voting for Taylor?

I've been dialing for 5 straight minutes and only got through once, Mig. But now my laptop battery is at 15%, so I'm going to shut down and watch the last inning of the Yankees/Red Sox game. The Yankees are ahead 7-4!! YAY!!

A little late here, but Taylor out performed Kat.

Kat, why those reruns? You have no imagination girl. She needs a wardrobe manager and a producer.

Taylor, you are everyman who wants to be on stage.

Those two songs that they finished with were crap. Taylor pulled his off. Kat bombed.

In all fairness, Mandisa was the best female vocalist. Too bad she didn't have a stage body and she dressed worse than Katherine.

I happened to like the closing songs they did. I just happened to like Taylor's more. I voted for him. I managed to get in 4 votes.

OMG, I thought that dude was gonna faint when Clay came out!!

PS - Why was Clay dressed like a Beatle?

AND THE WINNER OF THIS SEASON'S AMERICAN IDOL IS..........
