1. I'm afraid that Elliot might go home
but I think that Katherine deserves to go home.

2. I agree
I am for Taylor - he's the most entertaining. But Elliott has grown on me, and I would kinda like him to win.

I tried to call last night, but never got through.

3. Elliott - great voice! Taylor - great personality!
Katherine - good voice, but overall just so-so

12. Lately
I'm loving Elliott and wanting him to win.

I think the other two have a career regardless, but Elliott, who, IMHO, is the best singer, really deserves the backing of the industry he'd get from an AI win.

He seems so real, as does his family.

No offense towards Katherine, but she's too much like Kelly Clarkson and as dim as Carrie Underwood, rootin' for the boyz this go 'round :hi:

On edit: clarify Katherine goes home :)

9. LOL!
:rofl:

howdy Catchawave!

Elliot just won my vote if he makes it to the finals! He was hugging Tim Kaine!

" "American Idol" finalist Elliott Yamin with Gov. Tim M. Kaine and Yamin’s mother, Claudette (far left), during a visit to the Executive Mansion in Richmond,Va. Kaine presented Yamin with a T-shirt that read, "Virginia is for (Elliott) Lovers," and another to help butter up the show's most cantankerous judge: "Virginia is for (Simon) Lovers." "

25. Definitely rooting for Taylor now.....
He's definitely more entertaining, Katherine's more a Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat "narrator" worthy touring slot. Not that there's anything wrong with that :D

21. Katherine has the best voice
no matter what you say! :P


I think I want Taylor to win it all although I could never imagine buying any of the final 3s cds.

22. Katherine's voice is more "broadway" material
and her personality is annoying. besides really young teenage or pre-teen girls, he album wouldn't sell. taylor has a GREAT personality and i like his voice. it doesn't hurt that he's from bama either. ;)

elliot was my favorite, and i imagine he will still have an album, and I'll buy it!

23. So Katherine will win a Tony!
What will Elliott and Taylor win????? :P


I like Taylor--think he's cool and funny but can't imagine ever buying his cd.

27. I think based on pure vocals
Katherine is better than Elliot. But as far as being able to control the voice and being overall entertaining, Katherine should have been voted off before Chris. Taylor has the total package. I'll be surprised if Katherine gets more than half of Taylor's votes next week.

31. I cried...
He seems like such a sweet, genuine, caring guy. You could really see what kind of guy he was when they showed his hometown video. I'm gonna miss him.

24. Woo! Ay!
I was impressed with Taylor Hicks from the start. I bought his CD ("Under the Radar") about a month ago. All good stuff.

I could have been happy with any of the three winning it all, and I still won't be upset if Katharine wins. Once Chris was gone the show was more enjoyable for me.

Win or lose next week, Taylor is going to deliver a shot in the arm to popular music, something that's been needed for over a decade now.

Soul Patrol, baby!

28. Thanks to my DU friends who admit to being AI junkies...
I admit I got hooked on the very first episode of the very first show and I still enjoy seeing the kids struggling and singing their hearts out (even the bad ones) to see their dreams come true. I missed tonight's show because I was at a high school spring football game (son in law is the coach at our local high school and it was his first game) but I was curious about the outcome.

I root for them all, but I do have special favorites. Elliot was a favorite because it is my understanding that he overcame the odds of his deafness (in one ear) and proved that he was good enough to get into the top three. I think he will be an inspiration to many kids who have hearing difficulties.

But good for Taylor and Kathryn. May they both have great success.

30. Well, I was happy
All of the remaining three were talented, but Elliott just didn't appeal to me. I got bored listening to him. The "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" performance made me proud to be a Katharine fan. She's lucky she's still here, because some of her choices and performances haven't been up to par lately. Next week will be the only week I'm not voting for Taylor - I like him almost as much as Kat, but I want Kat to win. I think Taylor will still be the favorite, though.

Those American Idol boards have annoyed me with their "Kat is stuck up" arguments. She's just confident IMO and has said she has battled insecurities.
