IDOL THOUGHTS

One question... Just where is that picture of Pickler everyone's referring to?

PG -

I didn't have the courage to ask that question because I didn't want to be accused of being a drooler like rz1 and Beezer

Can't think of anything to describe Katherine

"Katherine...phone book singer extraordinaire"

As far as I'm concerned, it's not necessarily "who" but "why". Apparently, if you're of the female persuasion, it's ok to find a male American Idol contestant "charming". But if you're of the male persuasion and indicate that a female American Idol contestant is "cute", then you get a . They're masking their drool behind "objective appreciation" and simply not willing to admit it.

Most likely on page 2 of this thread.

Beezer....I'll tell you what I'm willing to admit....I'm married to the most handsome, wonderful and charming man in the world......and while I do find Taylor charming....he can't hold a lick, spit or drool to my man.......

...that said.....don't bother checking out page 2....the thread is out of commission....probably too many hits......or flooding.....

For those that missed it...the wheat was spectacular!

I still think the best version of the "first cut" was the original by Cat Stevens

Is this it?

You don't have to vote, lol.

Ahhh...there's that wheat...it's in fine form!

Thanks FrankF.

My wife likes Pickler the best. (thinks she's cute)

I like Chris the best.

Does that mean we are ***?

Everyone has opinions but does anyone really vote. I never have.

PG,
I've heard people hang on the phone for hours casting votes. It's an obsession, an epidemic,...are there re-runs?

I'm here in infamous Cook County Illinois and I've scoured twelve cemetaries for votes so far...only twenty more or so to go...I'm not telling you who I'm selling the votes to though!

Chris just nailed a Brian Adams song

If he doesn't win, I don't know what people are thinking.

CD - I agree - his performance was awesome! I also enjoyed Elliott tonight. Thought Katherine's was a bit disappointing compared to what I saw last week.

Chris was my favorite tonight!

Have to agree CD.....Chris was fantastic....I also loved Elliott. Unfortunately my favorite, Taylor, was a disappointment tonight.

Can't wait to hear Andrea B****lli sing tomorrow night!

luvbb.....show won't be on here for a couple of more hours.....did Simon, Randy and Paula give Taylor a bad time? Was he all that bad?

We are looking forward to the show....but a little preview doesn't hurt.......

Tough nite for all of them

For me tonite
Chris # 1, Katherine # 2 and Paris # 3

I see Pickler leaving tomorrow night !

Chris was the best tonight. Great song to sing.

Katherine was Katherine. She's gorgeous and she'll be a star down the road.

Paris is a mini-pro. I think it will be Katherine and Paris down the road.

Pick the Pickler and Taylor and Elliott...any one of them could be gone tomorrow.

LadyNmom:

Since you asked...

Taylor did just ok. The fellow on the preview, when Taylor was working with the pros, said Taylor probably has the most charisma out of all of them...he said that was a good thing.

Randy did not like the performance or the song choice...Paula was luke warm, but commented on how handsome he looked...and Simon compared Taylor's performance to the ubiquitous lounge act...Paula tried to drown Simon out at the end of his commentary...Simon didn't finish...too bad...his criticism is professional and if taken to heart can help each contestant.

Here is how I’d rank em.

1 – Chris (by a land slide)
2 – Katherine (think she’ll come back strong next week)
3 – Elliot (though I can’t see him winning it)
4 – Paris (sings better than she talks)
5 – Pickler (great song, wrong singer)
6 – Taylor (Mr. Excitement was extra boring tonight)
7 – Paula (Did Elliot’s performance bring anyone else to tears?)

Taylor should bite the dust tomorrow. Still can’t believe Chris was in the bottom 3 last week. He is the best and most unique singer in the contest.

PG

Yea what was with the tears? Too many pain killers again?

Chris is the guy right now-- hopefully Taylor gets thru this vote and regroups next week

Ladynmom....funniest moment of the night....make sure you pay attention to Simon after Elliott's performance when Paula is CRYING because she was so MOVED by the performance. Pay attention to Simon cracking up right next to her! Second best moment of the night...right behind Chris's great performance.

I think Taylor just didn't pick a good song for him tonight. I didn't feel that he felt comfortable with the song. He wasn't himself. But I think (hope)he has a big enough following
to get him thru til next week.

Found it disturbing that the judges busted on Katherine for singing a Whitney song....but didn't say anything to Paris about attempting a Barbra Streisand song. IMO Katherine did better job than Paris did.

I kind of forgot just how great Whitney Houston's powerful voice was until I heard one of her songs on the radio last week.

Too bad what happened to her. One of the greatest of all time IMO No one should sing her songs on the Idol.

Thanks for the preview guys......sounds as if Paula stole the show! Looking forward to seeing it all.....and sight and sound unseen...I know from your posts that Chris must have really delivered the song tonight....but I'm still voting for Taylor......

Soul patrol, baby! Yeah!!!

Im with the DBAT on this one for sure ! Soul Patrol In Taylor Hicks ! PEACE, Shep

LadyNMom - You'll like Chris' performance - trust me!!!

Luvbb - Simon was so funny! Didn't you feel like cracking up too watching Paula. I appreciate her tenderness with some folks, but crying????? LOL I didn't think Katherine was very good tonight and that song was a poor choice. However, I'm not a big fan of Paris' anyway, so I did feel Katherine did better than her.

Don't believe the quality of performances-at this point-are going to be a factor. I imagine most minds are made up at this point and it's a popularity vote regardless of
each weeks' performances.

If there were professional judges each week it would be a different story-sure am glad that Paula and Randi don't have a say. Simon is abrasive but probably tries to be objective, although at times I think he's been way off(he originally didn't want to let
Taylor even go to Hollywood).

IMO opinion after tomorrow night(assuming Pickler is gone)they all would be quality choices for #1 although I DO have a favorite.

I think Pickler is as hot as any other normal red blooded American male, but her innocent country girl act is wearing thin, as his her talent. Time for her to GO!

I have to admit, Kellie wasn't too good last night. That didn't keep us from voting for her for two hours, but...

I thought Chris was awful too, but I guess I dont' know what I'm talking about. I thought Katherine was terrific, but I must have been wrong about that too.

By the way, accoridng to dialidol.com, Paris will be going home tonight.
Kellie did do a great job of setting herself up to be the next Bachelorette. That could be a very funny show.

Pickler's problem last night was her "hairdo"....

Something straight out of the '40's.

IMO, Kellie was the worst last night - but I am betting that her fan base will rush to her rescue and keep her around for another week. Paris will be the one headed home...

Been....Kellie's problem last night was that she opened her mouth and sang....had nothing to do with her hairdo...and I think the "dumb act" is over...did you hear her use the word "robotic" during her practice session? This from a girl who had trouble with the word salmon?

Taylor remains my favorite and I thought he did well....but Elliot was the best. If he only had some of Taylor's personality....he would have been a top contender all along.....

and.....don't forget we are three hours behind you Easterners.....so feel free to post early tonight....I hate suspense!

I'm not surprised...

No tears this time...

Well, wrong again... I think I am 0-7 in picking who goes home...

Kellie...she dripped with savoir faire, sang with cultured sophistication, and bordered on being absolutely regal.

She was way over my head...out of my league completly...

"The world is Kellie's oyster...and I'm her pedestrian variety plankton"

I will bow down to Kellie as she bows out...

Wheat will I do without her?

Will Houston ever be able to get clean?

Kelli played the game the way the Fox plays the game, she found a nitch and took advantage of it. Some say she was putting on an act, but, isn't that what the entertainment biz is all about. She was the worst of the rest, but she will do fine on her own. I think behind that cute persona is very calculating young lady.

Does anyone doubt that this competition is as much about the judges and the host as it is about the contestants? Ratings Baby!

She will do fine...along with a bunch of the others who are no longer around. They're all very calculating...that's what it takes to succeed...anywhere.

Well....I presume you Pickler people are pleasantly pleased with her premature and perhaps pointless departure.
