    I don't think Chris could have won anyway. The crappy/cheesy pop songs that they write for the two finalists wouldn't have been right for him. Similar with what happened to Bo Bice last year. I think he was great singing rock the whole time, then they stuck him with that dreck at the end.

    We were shocked as well that it was chris gone but I really didn't see any attitude from Katherine. She just looked more shocked to me than anything else.

    Watch her face when they told her she was in the bottom two. Also, when it was announced Taylor and Elliot were safe, she just stood there looking entitled while Chris at least clapped for the other two.

    I don't think she looked entitled, I think she looked concerned, like she really thought she was going home, and surprised. No bad attitude, no entitlement.

    Just my 2 cents.

    He's under contract with the American Idol production team for one year after the show ends. I don't think he'd be able to join and/or start touring until his commitment to AI is over.

    Tonight was a tough one. Katherine really outdid herself with the "Somewhere over the rainbow" but the other songs were pretty weak. I really liked Taylors first 2 songs but did not care for the last one. I like Elliot but I think tonight he's gone. He really did not do any of the three songs very well while at least Katherine had one song that she really shined on. I think it's going to be a Katherine/Taylor final 2 with Taylor winning it.

    According to DialIdol, Taylor has won every week.

    Those were some of the WORST original American Idol songs ever. Oh goodness were those bad. Kat's was the worst of the two but ouch. I would not want either of those songs to be my single if I were to win Idol.

    Kat's just not a very good performer when it comes down to it. She's got a good voice but she can't match the energy and connection that Taylor gets with the audience. I'm glad to see that Taylor will win it as I definitally think he's the best and most original one they have found yet but I would not buy a ticket to see him. Just not the kind of stuff I like.

    I can't believe someone makes a living writing those dreadful songs.

    Taylor is much better in my opinion as well. McPhee lacks charisma.

    I do not watch this show much until lately! I did see hick's interview in the beginning by chance while walking through the family room while my wife and a couple of her friends where watching. They are fanatics about this show!! I told them this guy is going to win it all.

    I guess we will see tonight. I just can't believe this Hick's guy will not win it all.
