Pickler's gone! I'm not nearly as torn up about that as I would have imagined I would
have been if I knew that 3 months ago. She came across as way too ditzy and not nearly as innocent as we had all
originally thought. Plus, I've heard she's absolutely hell on wheels in real life. Oh and her singing yada yada yada,
but let's be honest, that's not what this competition is about. Come join me and the rest of the American Idol
fanatics tonight as we chat live during the show. As with all of our chats, you must have AIM or a compatible chat

Taylor is my favorite, but he looks more like the illegitimate son of George Clooney evey week. ;)

Shame on Paris! She gave Prince all the credit for "Kiss" but he released it in 1986. It was TOM JONES who charted with it in 1988!
Shame, shame, shame!

I just watched american Idol. No song change. Got last spot to sing, and Taylor Hicks kicked ________. See if they let him be what he can do . He was great. I will watch both of those performances over and over again. His fans went crazy for him. Personality, personality, personality.

Taylor kicked butt tonight! He was in the zone!! "Play that Funky Music White Boy" was perfect for his voice. His shirt was great and he delivered. The best part was George Harrison's song. Taylor really showed off his vocal ability!
Last week was a little bit of a let down but for those of you who don't know, Taylor's song selection was changed the day before his show by AI leaving him with only one day of preparation.
I thought Elliot sounded great and so did Kathryn. Paris will probably be the one going home on Wednesday. I like Paris and she will have a great future ahead of her now.

Taylor rocks! He is has true showmanship, personality and likeability than any other contestant. The others barely shine in comparison to all the talents this one man has, he should be our next American Idol hands down!

Kathrine should sing: "Here's That Rainy Day". It has a great melody and lyric, seldom heard, and really tells a story that connects with an audience. Would have everyone coming out of their chairs.

McPhee really is so full of herself that is sickening to even watch her. She is pretty and sings good, but not good enough to get past the attitude. The guys are all very unique and humble. Go guys - bye bye McPhee.

I think that Chris was the best that American Idol Has ever had. He was very unique to the show and had a star quality about him. Katherine or Elliot should have gone not Chris. How is America voting???????

OMG........Idol just ended and can anyone tell me what the hell just happened??!!?? I can't even express how upset and,to be very honest, confused I feel about Chris going home! Does anyone else have a problem with this? Katharine is sweet and does have a good voice, but let's face it...she sucked last night and deserved to go home...even she knows that. I am so disappointed...I was 100% sure Chris was gonna win this thing. Sorry to complain so much on my first post, guys...

Chris dumped? Cannot believe Chris was cut tonight. Wasted all those evenings for this type of results. Something is very wrong. As of now, I shall no longer waste my time watching that show. The remaining 3 are not "special" enough to be the American Idol. What a travesty!

I think Chris getting voted off really sucks! He has been the most original and talented this season...I think he will go far and I know I'll be watching for his CD....As for McPhee, she needs to go....her voice is okay, not something that I would pay $60 a ticket for.....maybe enjoy it in a Disney movie....The guys really rocked this season...who ever voted needs a reality check if they didn't vote for Chris!!!

Chris voted off before Katherine!?!?! She stunk up the place last night. I surely thought the top 2 finalists would be Taylor and Chris. I have always thought Idol was rigged, especially after Fantasia beat Latoya 2 seasons ago, but now I'm sure of it!!! If Katherine wins this thing...I will never watch this bogus show again!

Chris has the entire package, stage presence, enormous talent, and the look. To have kept Katherine, who on multiple occasions could not remember her lines, and sent Chris home, just confirms to me that this show is a gimmick, and not worthy of my time.

I can't believe what just happened. Why would America vote for Katherine instead of Chris? I'm sorry to say, but Katherine sucked last night. She jumped around on stage like an idiot. This is what America wants as the next American Idol. She even messed up on the words. Come on people!!!! Katherine better be gone next week. I hope Taylor wins!!! Actually, I like Elliot too. Please no Katherine!!!!!!!!

UNBELIEVABLE... A complete travesty! We have watched American Idol since it began, and I have seen some votes that I didn't agree with, but in the end the true star always won. We were totally shocked to see the end of what was to be the best American Idol ever.
Not sure if I want to waste my time on this show again.
Katherine knew she should have been the one to go...
all you had to do is read her face. Even she thought it was a bad joke. Make a CD, Chris... to hell with John Q Public.
