American Idol

I like eveyone that is on the show this year. I told my ds that I would feel bad for whoever got voted off. I really like Kevin but he was the right one to go next.

Thought for sure Bucky would be in the bottom three this past week. Surprising to see Katharine.

I had a feeling that Lisa would be going home though.

[ShainaT]

Dang it!
I was sad to see Mandisa go! She is so talented!

[rafala]

who do you think is going to make it the farthest? I think Chris and Elliot will make it far and I think Kellie has a following becuase of her innocence and tough childhood so i think those 3 will make it to the end.

i really liked mandisa. sad to see her go. i think kathrine has to go next. she bugs me for some reason. bucky isnt my favorite either so i wouldnt be too sad to see either of them go.

Bye bye Bucky. I was actually thinking Ace would go tonight. I guess you never know.

Rafala-I think you are right about Chris and Kelly but not sure about Elliott. I really like him (Elliott) though. Taylor seems to have a big following too.

[ShainaT]

Bye bye Ace. He was just out of his league.

How did Kellie make top 3? This show is such a personality contest!

It is TV free week this week and my kids decided to participate but i told them they could have a 1 hour pass to watch one tv show, I figure they are really minimizing the amount of tv they are watching and 1 hour is really no big deal. so my daughter, 9 years old, had to decide on American Idol and survivor. When I told her AI was going to be love songs, by some guy I had never heard of, she chose survivor. good choice I think. she goes to bed at 9pm so she doesnt get to see the elim round so i always tell her who the bottom 3 were and she checks on line as soon as she gets up to see who left. so she wont miss too much really.

enjoy the show.

It isn't just young people who watch because I've been hooked since it started! I was pleased to see Ace go, and tomorrow I have a feeling it might be Kelley, but who knows? It's anybody's guess. My disappointment so far was Mandisa losing, but I think she'll still get something from it. Right now my feeling is that Katharine will be the ultimate winner.

[ShainaT]

I think a guy will win this time.
I don't know about Kellie going home....she and Taylor have NEVER been in the bottom 3 even. I don't know why she wasn't in the bottom three last week.

rafala- your daughter made a good choice.
I'd pick Survivor any day of the week. (Now if I had to choose between Survivor and "24", then I'd have some problems!)

I watch it with my kids - of course they're zeroed in during the tryout weeks, but lose any interest once the real talent is targeted. I think Chris & Elliot are really talented, and Katherine as well. Although, I don't see Katherine doing much pop. However, it would be nice to have a female "crooner" around these days!
As for personality, Taylor's got my vote. What a sweet guy he is.

Mandisa was a fave, but she's got an awesome singing career already, with Beth Moore's conferences.

(I was so happy to see Ace leave!)

Rafala, I think Andrea Bocelli is the guest advisor this week. They aren't doing his songs, but he is giving them direction, from what I understand. You've no doubt heard him, just don't remember his name. He is an amazing opera singer.

If last weeks performance didn't get Kellie in the bottom three, I'd hate to think how she'd have to sound to get there. I don't think Kellie's going anywhere anytime soon. She seems to have a really large fanbase. Paris is really talented, but I don't think she has a big fanbase. I think Paris may be the next to go.

Thought I would pop in-Have been watching Idol every week. I think the fans have voted well the Final 6 IMO deserve to be. Seems like the Judges were pushing for a Female to go this week..Paris seems vulnerable just because of her age factor. The interesting part is whether Chris or Elliott would depart before Taylor-my thinking is that you would think Chris & Elliott are drawing from a similiar taste of voters while Taylor's voice is more like a Ray Charles type of singer with a Southern Twang. Anything about the rumors which seems to happen every year in regards to ballot box stuffing(phone) with folks voting for Kellie? I believe last year when the rumors reached a peak that person was voted off. I'm hoping for either Chris or Elliott to get knocked off tonight, but my gut says Paris.

It's really a guessing game now, don't you think? Tonight I thought it would be Taylor because of the placement on the stage. I was wrong--again! Did anyone hear what the song selection is for next week?

[rafala]

songs from the year they were born or top songs from now I think is what I heard for next week. No special person coming in to help them.

Good choice to go last night. i am always surprised when Paris is in the bottom though. I think she has a wonderful voice and her age shouldnt matter.

From the American Idol website:

The Final 5 will be performing two songs each – one from the year they were born and any song from this week’s Top 10 Billboard Charts
