I really like Elliott the best but I think Taylor

will win. I just think it's a shame if Kat is in the final two. I think Elliott completely deserves to be at LEAST 2nd. I think he will do well regardless and hope he gets a record deal out of this at least. He's different, Taylor is different, but nothing about Kat is anything but ordinary. Of course Chris was different too. I thought it would be cool to be down to the three guys. I think they're all unique, they all have completely different styles, and that's great. I think they ARE American Idols. They each highlight a different kind of music that Americans love. I really hope that Elliott stays tonight!

Taylor or Elliott
I'm rooting for Taylor or Elliott now that Chris is gone. I really don't want Katherine to win, but I have the feeling she will. Supposedly people are saying she's more "marketable"
Taylor/Elliott finale would be my dream
Then, I wouldn't be disappointed no matter who won and who came in second. I thought Chris was great in the beginning, too. Now, he just does nothing for me. I thought he was really contrived last night. Katherine did really awful on that second song, and she has never shown that spark, either, at least to me. Taylor I've loved from the beginning, and Elliott has grown on me a lot. I think he's the contestant who has grown the most in the competition, sort of like Clay. I'm waiting to see what Zaba Search says in about an hour, but they had him in last place last night. I hope Dial Idol is correct this time, but I just don't know. I will be very disappointed if Elliott goes home tonight instead of Katherine. It could be a big shocker like the first year and maybe Chris will go home? Doubtful.
Katherine has got to go. I also thought Elliott and Taylor ruled the night!
Chris was okay, but we all KNOW he's better than this. I'm hoping his first CD is the "Walk the Line."
ELLIOTT
I am a singer and I appreciate his voice. He may not be much to look at, but he is coming along. Better hair last night. I get goosebumps when he sings.
I think Elliott....
...will sell some CD's. I don't think he'll be a SUPERSTAR or anything. But he has a substantial fan base and they will surely buy. Depends on the label and PR.
I don't get the attraction to Kat either. She's physically attractive I suppose (not to me of course, LOL) and she can sing, but she doesn't seem to have "it". The 3 guys all have "it" in their own ways/style.
Elliott's teeth. sm
I noticed that during the initial audition. They are getting better, he has been having dental work done for at least the last two shows. He has such a nice voice, I am sure before the grand finale his teeth will look real nice.
I'm in tears over Elliott
What a great, great guy. I'm sorry, but Kat sure came off poorly tonight, and her mother's little "take that" for the camera while Elliott was getting his goodbye was in very poor taste. I would have loved to have had Taylor and Elliott in the finals together. I would have been happy no matter who won then. I have a 19-year-old son, and I'd be so, so proud to have him carry himself with the dignity that Elliott did tonight. I'm am so sad for him, but I hope that something good comes for him out of this.
Tell Elliott I said "Hi!!!!!!"........lol..........nm

Clint Black and Sam Elliott --um,um um...
x
Oh yeah, forgot about Sam Elliott
and also Robert DeNiro
I agree, also. Look at the one song Elliott did,
I don't even remember Elvis doing it, it certainly was not a common one, and he did a great job. Kat had her chance.
I really like Elliott, but personality may be his downfall.
NO WAY for McPhee, too pitchy.
Gotta love Taylor, too. Lots of show quality. WOO-HOO!

I wanted to see Elliott go to the finale, too
I'm worried about him tonight, though. I wish he would have picked a better song for his final one last night...something with a little more wow factor. Something more recognizable that people would have recognized and identified with, like Kat's Somewhere Over The Rainbow. People just turning in, who haven't watched all season and picked a favorite long ago, probably wouldn't have voted for him based on just last night. That's why I worry about Taylor if he makes it to the finals next week. Plenty of people will tune in just for the finals and I think if Kat is there, she will definitely have the advantage over Taylor to get those voters. I'm not giving up on Elliott until the show's over tonight, though.
It all depends on who gets Elliott's voters
with everyone being in the 33% range last week that tells you the fan voting for Kat and Taylor was just about even. The key is in who gets the Elliott voters and from what I read on the AI boards it sure won't be Kat.
It's getting harder to pick. I'm afraid maybe Elliott but
hoping it's Katharine (although the second song she did last night was WONDERFUL). Elliott should NEVER have sang "I want to go home," that could stick in the minds of people when voting.
Along with this, is anyone having parties during all of the this. My DH is doing Pampered Chef and we've been invited to an AI party to do PC. The party will start at 6 and it should be lots of fun.
Have you noticed how Ryan hugs all over Elliott?
He doesn't touch Taylor or the other guys but each time Elliott is on stage with him he's hugging and touching him.
Elliott needs to be with his very sick Mom. Being the Idol would prevent that. sm
Besides, from what he said about AI being a "steppingstone," he's probably been contacted by someone big. He's going to make it, no matter what. I think being the Idol at this time would be too much for his personal life. His mother needs him now, and he knows it.
I hope either Paris or Elliott go home tonight
I think it will come down between Taylor and Chris. Ultimately, I hope Chris wins it - I LOVE HIM!
great info on Efraym Elliott Yamin
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliot_Yamin
Elliott was yelling Soul Patrol tonight!
Gotta love Elliott. I'll be there to buy his CD...no doubt about it.
Sam Elliott, John Travolta, Charlie Sheen.
Regarding Taylor... Is it just me or....
has he gone from a rather sloppy looking spazz to looking pretty sexy? Okay, maybe it's because he seems a little older than the rest because of the gray hair (he's 16 years my junion), but he's kinda HOT these days! Last night when he was danced I was thinking........ Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Can't wait to see him do Elvis next week. 
Go Taylor! nm

Taylor-Taylor-Taylor
I hope it's Taylor...I'm anxious to see if anything goes on tonight about last week's shocker when Chris got kicked off...lots of stuff on the 'Net about voting being wrong, etc...have to wait and see.
 GO TAYLOR!!!
NO, YA NUT - Taylor isn't on anything....nm
Taylor will win. sm
Last week, all of Birmingham greated Taylor back home, and Kat only filled half a gym. Taylor has never been in the bottom 3 and Kat has. They are both going to be very rich, but Taylor will win.
Taylor
I loved Taylor tonight. I really liked the last song he sang. I just got done having an argument with my husband who thinks that Katharine will win and should win and that if Taylor wins he won't sell any records. He just doesn't get it. My daughter and I have been trying to vote for Taylor since the show ended, but can't get through.
taylor fan
Yes, Taylor, you make me PROUD! He was so cute tonight!
I hope it's not Taylor!
He just had a bad week. Please spare Taylor :) My prediction is that it's Ace.
You are right--TAYLOR is HOTTTTT!
He gets hotter by the week! Yowza!!!! I know he's not married and haven't heard anything about a GF. Somebody better snatch him up, and quick! He's about 6 years younger than me--I can live with that!
Go TAYLOR!!!!!.....AI wants a male to win!! n/m
My vote goes for Taylor
I must admit the first few weeks watching him was soooo annoying, but he has grown on me and I actually enjoy watching and listening to him sing and perform. He's good and I think he deserves to win! However, I must say I was confident that Chris would win, but unfortunately not. Therefore, my vote is for Taylor!!!!
GO TAYLOR, GO!
Agree Taylor!
I think Taylor will win it all. And I agree with what the poster said about Katharine. There is just something about her. When the judges say something bad she always has this look like, well that's what you think, but you're crazy.
According to Diaidol.com, Elliott is at the bottom, but it's very close. They're been right three weeks in a row.
No worries, Taylor has it in the bag!!!!!! :-)
No doubt!
Taylor's family
Someone told me the woman with Taylor's dad is his stepmom. Has his mom ever been on the show?
Taylor's LAST song did it for me!!!...sm
TAYLOR HICKS IS GOING TO BE THE AMERICAN IDOL......he's just more genuine!!! Kat is good but whoever posted about Tori Spelling......I don't think Tori is THAT well liked......by the general public...so I don't know how that other poster thinks Tori can pull strings for Kat....
taylor hicks
 It seemed strange not to be able to watch AI this week. Just saw Taylor on the Today show-I love him!!!! By the way, does anyone know about the black bracelet that he wears on his left wrist? I noticed it when he was on AI and he still had it on today.
As Paula would say, Taylor is infectious!!
nm
Elliot and Taylor, oh and what about Chris?
They are all great! It is for sure a man this year!
They do need to learn some dance moves though!
lol
I predict that Taylor and Mandisa ....sm
will be the 2 finalists in the end. I can't stand Kelly - she's too flirty and gets on my nerves. I did laugh at Simon's comments about Bucky having the Jessica Simpson hairstyle!
Nawwww, Taylor reminds some of us
I do like Elliot...but I Love Taylor..
nm
Taylor looks constipated when he stands still
..
Hope to see Taylor go. Can't stand him.

DialIdol says Taylor got more votes than anyone. (nt)
I think that only he and Taylor will sell their records....sm
I can't envision ever buying anything that Katherine or Elliott recorded.
Katherine should have gone home last night.
TAYLOR all the way now for the WIN. He's the TOTAL package.
Spunk, energy, personality, showmanship, and voice. He's got it all going for him.
Kat should never have gotten this far. She's not singing well and had a bad week. There are songs that she can sing, she's just not well-rounded to do any kind of music.
Lots of people will buy Elliott's CD. He's got a great voice.
I wish they'd publish the vote counts. I can't believe that Chris got the boot! Just shows you how sick this can all get. We'll all be angry if Kat goes on to win. Probably more of the sick "vote for the worst" revenge.
Taylor - Dancing in the Dark
first Springsteen song ever done on AI...first time approval has been given
I agree, my vote is definitely for TAYLOR!
/
I think Taylor will sell records
I have his second indie CD and it's fabulous. All original songs, written by him, and it's great. Grab it if you can. I really don't think Kat will do all that much after this, really. I don't think she has the draw to bring people out to a concert. Obviously, Taylor does. I think Kelly Clarkson could have taken that song that Kat butchered and at least tried to do something with it...made it something worth listening to. Kat really, really messed that one up.
