I completely agree. Has to be one of the most unique performances I've seen on Idol this year. Kudos to Katherine. I hope it's enough to give her another week.


By the way, I hope no one took offense to my comments above about Paris trying to be black. My attempt was not to be racist. I was just stating the obvious.

Results from tonight: Kevin Covais and Anthony Federov returned and sung a duet as the 4-eyed clan! Both replaced Chris and Taylor who were voted off tonight.

Okay, totally joking.

Bottom 2 was Elliott and Paris.

Paris left tonight.

You are not right, Patrick! Silly boy!

So glad it was Paris who left tonite. Did anyone notice her speaking voice was considerably lower and less "babyish" when she talked to Ryan this evening?

And, I was happy to see that dialidol was wrong about Ms. Kat! She was NOT in the bottom two after all.

I wondered if she was going to shed a tear or two. When other folks have been voted off, they've shown her and she's always shedding a tear.

Okay, folks. I've decided. Do they allow write ins for AI. If so I think we should all vote for Paula.

So who watched and what'd you think?

I think Simon was extremely hard on Katherine tonite. I still think she's great, but she just didn't do that great with Elvis songs...not her genre.

Elliott looks like an elf. The guy has a great voice, but I just cannot get into WATCHING him perform.

Chris was great as usual...especially the first song. Taylor had a great time and I loved him too.

Paula is a freak and I don't understand why she still has a job.

As much as I like her, I think Katherine should go home after tonight. In the first song, she couldn't even remember her lyrics. In her 2nd song, she struggled to reach the high notes. It was horrible. As much as I think she's a good singer, I just don't think she should stay based on tonight alone.

Chris, Taylor, and Elliott all had flawless performances.

I think Elliott and Kat will be in the bottom 2. Who gets voted off is anyone's guess.

I think Katharine is up on the chopping block because of her poor performance tonight.

The other three did have flawless performances, so it is anybody's guess at this point.

DialIdol predicts that either Chris or Katherine is going home.

1-2Taylor Hicks61.9431.697-

1-2Elliott Yamin60.2161.735-

3-4Katharine McPhee54.1361.863-

3-4Chris Daughtry53.421.877-

It'll be Kat. We'll see, though.

I can't imagine Chris being voted out.

I can't either. Regardless of what DialIdol says, I still think Katherine and Elliott will be in the bottom 2. At this point, anyone could leave.

Well, the votes are in, and Dial Idol was correct. Taylor and Elliott were in the top 2. Chris and Kat were in the bottom 2.

And Chris left us tonight.

I'm really shocked.

Nnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!

Did you vote Karrie?

Man, this things gotta be rigged. This ain't right.

The only negative I have to say about Chris is that all of his songs sounded the same. It got a little old for me.

I am really shocked, though. I couldn't believe it...

Taylor still holds his record of never being in the bottom 2 or 3. INTERESTING.

You know, it's interesting that you mention that sweetdaisy. I told my wife last night that the reason Chris probably got voted off is because people were getting tired of the same old rock songs. Seems like when he started the competition he sung a variety of songs, and in the last few weeks he sung nothing but rock songs. I think maybe he needed to go outside the box a little.

One thing you have to realize, more people tend to like pop music than hard rock.

The advantage Taylor has is that he's sung a variety of songs, fast and slow. I think that helps him. Same for Katherine.

I personally think Katherine is a babe. That's why she will win American Idol. Just like Kelli Pickler shoud have.

GROSS. She's icky.

Looks like the results from Dial Idol this week are too close to call and the bottom 2 is within the margin of error. I really don't think it matters because Taylor is going to win it all anyways.

Taylor still reminds me, as Simon said, of a very good karaoke singer. And he physically works harder than any other candidate to distinguish himself. I still don't know who Taylor's fan base will be, but obviously some people are voting for him.

I think DialIdol has it right, and that Elliott will go. He's got vocals, but I don't see any marketability. He's not quite Michael Buble or Darryl Hall.

Simon lofted the perfect ball for Kat to hit out of the park. I knew her rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow was special, and the judges confirmed it when they said it was the best performance of the season.

Taylor and Kat in the finals, with Taylor winning.

The interesting thing is that all 3 judges said on different TV programs this past week that Elliott had the best vocals and was the best of the 3. Simon said this on Oprah, Randy on The View, and Paula to the general media.

I do think Taylor has a unique voice, but as far as vocals go, I don't think he's better than Chris was.

Overall, I still think Chris was the best of the 4. I think he got robbed.

I think Kat should still get voted off. People are quick to forget her performance last week. It was the worst of anyone's.

Kat's my favorite, but I agree. I think AI thought he would finally be the rock guy they could place.

My problem with Kat is that she needs to wear a bra. I'm tired of seeing her boobs shake.
