Have you picked the final 2 yet?

I’m waiting a bit longer…before I pick…
I can’t get the final 2. But the final 2 men - Chris and Taylor. Final 3 women - Mandisa and Katherine and Kellie

Too early for me to narrow it down further. I’m glad I’m not the sole judge, the anxiety would kill me.
 
I would like to know what (what is his name?)chicken little’s parents are thinking… having American Idol portray their son in such a “sex symbol” manner when he’s only 16. I’d be a little offended.

Secretly… I’m kinda glad Ayla got the boot. I just didn’t care for her. She was alright. It’s the first time I saw someone actually be that upset at having to go home. I agree with one of the other posters that said it might have been the first time she’s failed at something. And ya know… that’s a good thing to learn. She did alright in handling herself though. But I did feel bad for her having to sing that song… any song is hard to sing through tears.

I still hope it’s a toss up between Chris and Mandisa. And I think Chris will get it…

I’ve voted in the past two seasons but not on a regular basis. I was mad when Diana Degarmo didn’t win… but was very pleased with Carrie.
 
I don’t think anyone could successfully portray chicken little as sexy. I wouldn’t be worried if I was his mom.

Ayla is so pretty and tall, she is going to get a modeling contract out of this, just watch.

I have to admit I am not a fan of Taylor Hicks. I am also not a fan of Jow Cocker, so there you go. I really like Elliot Yamen, but I guess that talent isn’t enough. I think Chris will win, he is talented and the most marketable. I can’t imagine Kellie getting too far along, she is so cute, but no Kelly Clarkson.

Actually, the only reason I added Kellie to my list is that the AOL poll has had her in the top 1-3 positions pretty steady. I don’t know what to make of her. She has marketability, and probably will have some type of career. I can’t tell if she is as “golly gee” cute as she appears, or if it is an act. I still believe Mandisa is the talent to beat for the females.

Unbelieveable that AOL had her top 3 in a poll.
It is the dumb blonde factor and thats it. She is cute, and can sing a bit… but she aint that good. :twocents:

What about Ace? He has all that X factor. But for some reason he just gives me the ‘ick’.
I think his X factor is due mostly to the fact that he’s a looker … his vocals can’t match Chris and Taylor. That time when Ryan asked him to look into the camera ‘for America’ - I couldn’t help but break out in hysterical laughter!! He reminded me of Derek Zoolander’s Blue Steel!

This is about music, right? Looks shouldn’t be the definitive factor … I mean look at Mick Jagger, Phil Collins, Joe Cocker et al.
 
Can’t believe I’m joing in. I’m not too interested this season and I watch on and off.

I think that young girl Paris is talented, but I think she’s putting up an act. She acts all cute and innocent, but I think I heard her say at one time that she was the best in front of the other singers. Then on the red carpet she talks about how important it is to be humble.

I’ll watch on/off.

I don’t like the ones who seem to depend on their looks to get them the votes. It backfired for Constantine last year big time. I think Ace needs to come through in the vocals if he has any shot at all. He has talent, but not like Chris or Taylor, I agree.

In the beginning I was really liking Paris, I thought she was extremely talented for her age. I agree with you, she seems to act a little too confident or cockey, like she has it in the bag or something. She comes from a musical family, a famous grandmother or something. Maybe she thinks she has an edge.

I hope Kellie will stay in a little longer…altough I don’t think she will win. I disagree with the judges and think she did well last night …considering it wasn’t her style of music…

I really think Chris is becoming my fav…by the next show I’ll know for sure…

Its time for the young guy…Kevin? to go…

I think the top ones will be…Chis , Taylor, Mandisa,Katherine

WOW!! What a performance last night!! He really rocked!

Katherine did an excellent job with her song. I didn’t know she could sings those high notes so strongly!

I think you’re gonna be right.

While I like Taylor … I have a funny feeling Chris will win. He’s got Simon on his side (Simon’s a pretty good gauge) AND he’s more conventional and has more star like qualities compared to the other 3. But man … I hope Taylor wins!

As for the judges … we should just remove Paula. How objective can she be if she’s standing and dancing during the performances? … she’s got praises for almost everybody, she just gushes and gushes … she should just move to the groupie section!

So who do you think is going home tonight?

I think it will be Kevin…
To me it’s a toss-up between Kevin and Kellie…quite possibly Melissa (tho I really like her a lot)
 
Taylor’s performance was the only one that made our house want to get up and move and groove right along with him, that’s the sign of a great performer. I love that guy. 👍

But, I also love Chris and Mandisa and Katherine. I am with you all on that one. I’m going to have a hard time voting when it comes down to them.

I agree, it’s time for Chicken Little, uh, I mean Kevin to go. He is cute but not even close to the same league as the rest. He should have been gone last week instead of Gideon.

Was anyone else annoyed with Paris’ little stunt, showing off her voice with Ryan after her performance? I don’t think Paula or Simon were impressed with her after that. They showed their faces and they were not happy. :mad: The singers get one shot and one shot* only* to sing and that’s it. She stepped over a line.

Just an observation from someone who thinks she thinks too much of herself at this stage. :rolleyes:
 
Yeah, Chicken Little; aka the sex symbol; aka Kevin has got to go!

‘Cute’ as he is, I am not sure how he made it through to the top 12 with that nasal voice.

I agree… how he even made it to Hollywood is beyond me. And I couldn’t believe that Paula said he kept in time to the music… I didn’t hear that at all. And his song choice… Part time lover? Ick. He looks like such a “boy” to me & I don’t want to imagine any child as a lover - part time or otherwise.

Having said that… I think Melissa will go home tonight. Even though she sang much better than she had in the past… Kevin has all those young girls voting for him.
 
#1 - Chris
**#2 - Taylor **
#3 - Katherine

My favorites so far, in that order.

Paris is annoying me.
I just don’t get Ace.
Elliot needs to get a little better.
Mellisa bores me, so does Lisa.
Mandisa is good, but an AI?
Bucky is not doin’ for me.
Felt bad for Kellie - she stunk it up.
Chicken little gets the boot tonight.
