    Anyone else watching American Idol this season? :rockon:

    So far I think it's much better than last years boring season. I just can't wait for Chris to end up with a song he finally flubs on. He was so lucky someone told him about the RHCP version of Higher Ground. 50's week is gonna be interesting. :cheers:

    Katharine has got my votes all the way. I think she's the best one up there right now for the women. Taylor Hicks is interesting and he sings well but he's quickly getting on my nerves and will probably not be my top guy for long. :screwy:

    Somehow I keep falling asleep during some performances (perhaps getting up at 530am does that to me..or I'm old :notfunny:). But anywhoo. Based on the entire AI experience rather than this past week, I really like Kelly Pickler even though she's almost TOO cute :hurl:

    Bucky has a very interesting voice but I can't understand his words when he sings. My favorite guy is Taylor, I think he should just quit AI and make a CD now. I'd go see him right now!

    I'm watching....I'm digging Mandisa, Taylor, Katharine, Elliott and Chris. I like Elliott and Chris better with my eyes closed though. :)

    Was a bit surprised little Kevin wasn't in the bottom 3 last night. I can't see him making it much farther.

    If Taylor Hicks doesn't win there is something wrong with this country.

    If not him then Chris, Katherine or Mandisa.

    They've got to keep Kelly on. She's such an airhead it's precious.

    i think hands down Mandisa has the most natural talent and stage presence. how many of the others could have been so comfy in their bare feet on stage! i love 'er. I pick her for the final 2 showdown.

    Elliott is a close second on talent- not bad for a kid from middle earth! I kiiid- we hace Pickler for cute- we have Elliott for pure talent.

    Chris is great too but needs to show some versatility. God help him if they have Engelberg Humperdink as the next theme artist! lol Still I'd go see him at the 9:30 club anytime.

    Kelly Pickler will have a future doing some great cameo appearances on Reba- cute to death but not quite as good as many others in the voice dept. My hubby's favorite- I wonder why... lol

    Paris- amazing voice but not very likeable on stage- she gets a bit annoyingly overly bouncy IMHO. She'll go far someday though.

    Ace will make the same smoldering into the camera mistake Constantine did, but at least he has a decent voice to back it up. I love him but he won't make it to the end. I wish these kids would stop listening to the "Idol stylists" and be themselves.

    McPhee- AWESOME. I pick her against Mandisa- poised, gorgeous, talented... Idol package.

    Chicken Little will go away when 13 year old girls no longer get to vote- that kid does NOT belong anywhere near the likes of McPhee, Mandisa and Elliott.

    have I NOTHING else to do- sheesh! I'm embarrassed that I spent this much time on this... good thing this is all anonymous... lol

    It's only really anonymous when you don't have a link to your personal site in your online forum profile... :doh:

    What a good show last night. But I have to wonder if Kelly Pickler is THAT brain dead or is she playing the dumb blond for some unknown reason. She's a great performer but yikes...she's a flake. But ever so darn cute.

    Mandisa was fabulous..reminded me of Whitney Houston w/the way she puckered her eyebrows while singing:)

    I think the bottom three will be Bucky, Lisa & Chicken Little (sorry dude, I forgot your name).

    I think Chris was amazing last night. If he released that version of I Walk The Line now, it would be a huge hit.

    Mandisa and Katherine were great as well.

    What a fantastic show last night?

    Chris, Katherine and Ace were amazing.

    Chirs is going to be the new American Idol, without any doubt.

    I guess I'm the odd one out. Chris looses my interest more and more each week. I did not like that performance at all last night.

    Mandisa really surprised me.

    Katherine is still my favorite.

    while i believe Mandisa is the best singer hands DOWN, I think either Chris or Katherine will win. I hope it's Chris if it can't be Mandisa- but all 3 of them will have amazing careers without an AI win anyway.

    My bottom 3 were Lisa (what's up with her? Her voice is so good but her performances have been awful. She is tired and wants to go home.) Bucky- he isn't even in he same CLASS as Katherine, Elliot, Chris and Mandisa. and Taylor- while I love him to death, if last night was the last show he wouldn't have won. I think he is tons better than chicken little but last did nothing to raise his stock with voters.

    I knew something was fishy about Chris's performance last night. I knew I had heard that version of I Walk the Line before but could not place it.
    They made it out that he arranged that song and it was original. No it was not. I looked around and if you have ITunes check out the band LIVE. They did this exact cover and Chris sang it exactly the same as they did. Just like he did last week with the Chilli Peppers version of Higher Ground. At least last week he gave credit to the band that did it.

    :)

    It's a fairly entertaining show, but there are lots of shady behavior surrounding the show in all facets (contestant backgrounds, song selections, tie-ins, voting results).
