I'm an Elliott fan, but I think he'll probably be leaving tonight.

Well kiddos, looks like things are set up now for a landslide Taylor win next week. It's been speculated that most of the Elliott fans will vote for Taylor. Several from the news media have already called it a win for Taylor.

And the winner of 2006 American Idol is.....Drum roll please........

Taylor Hicks!

Oh I sooo hope not! This is one person not on the soul patrol. Never did get in to just the sound of Taylor and watching him is like watching a spastic crazy wildman...just makes me uncomfortable.

My votes, as many as I can get through, are going for Kat.

I think Mandisa had the best vocals of all this season. My personal favorite is definitely Chris. As far as the finale next week goes I hope Kat wins. I think her and Taylor both have, for the most part, given it their all to make it to the top 2.

At this point I really don't care who wins, but I just predicted a Taylor win because all of the news media organizations have already called it, and Taylor has always been #1 in the voting, and has never been in the bottom.

It's all up to the public though.

Strangely, a white guy has never won the competition.

It will be strange if Taylor wins because of his dancing and not totally his voice; yeah! I think the frenzy over him is his acting.

My votes go to Kat. By the way, her not wearing a bra does not hurt her in my eyes.

LOL! True! By the way, welcome back Oki_Man. So are Ace and Kellie together now? That's the new rumor, anyhow.

Man, I still don't know where Taylor is getting the votes. His prancing is winning the votes, not his voice. I agree with the others, though, he'll win. Kat has the superior chops, but she shoots too high with her songs. If did all of next week's songs gently and on the floor, she might have a shot

Last night's close percentages I think came from a lot of Taylor fans voting for Elliott, although it still may have humbled Taylor a little bit.

Yeah, Taylor has the competition in the bag. He may not have the best voice, but his voice is different. It will sound good on record.

Well, the votes are in, and the winner is..............Taylor Hicks. It didn't surprise me, however, I really did want Katharine to win.

Soul Patrol!
I'm really glad Taylor won. Very humble and fun guy!
