Ladies and gentlemen, we have our finalists! After months of auditions and eliminations and shocking twists, we finally have the two singers who will take the stage on Tuesday to sing their hearts out one last time. Am I surprised by the outcome? A little. Not really. After last week’s Chris Daughtry stunner, nothing can really faze us. Nevertheless, gotta give props to Fox for saddling us with an extra half hour of filler goodness tonight. There’s nothing I love more than sitting through an hour of meaningless pageantry, replete with shameless plugs for X-Men and a random Clive Davis filibuster. But enough about the filler. Let’s just get on with the show!Tonight’s show begins with Ryan back to the gray suit. Before I can even make an obligatory gray joke, we then cut to Ace Young and Kellie “Sal-mon” Pickler sitting in the audience. I’m happy to report that Kellie has cut her hair short, thus completing her transformation into a young Bonnie Hunt.
Before Ryan does anything else, he tries to insinuate that the two former idols are now a romantic couple. He then has to explain to Kellie what the word “couple” means. Okay, he doesn’t do that, but the two kids shake their heads and say no, no, no — they’re not dating! Just because a boy and a girl sit together doesn’t mean there’s any romantic activity, Ryan. Did your experience with Teri Hatcher teach you nothing?
Ryan then gets on with the business at hand. “Tonight, we will name your final two,” he says, pausing dramatically for applause. But alas, it’s just DEAD SILENCE. Everyone clearly is still distracted by Kellie’s matronly new hairstyle. Either that, or they’re wondering if CBS will ever re-air Keith Barry: Extraordinary!
We then learn that the show took in over fifty million votes, which is pretty darn impressive. Not that I really care, but hey, it’s still noteworthy, I suppose. Ryan then re-introduces us to our finalists who all look fairly nervous, and in the case of Elliot, trollish too. After we reacquaint ourselves with our jittery trio, we then take a look back at last night’s show — which is the perfect excuse to hit fast forward on my Tivo. It’s killing me that the results show is a full hour tonight. Don’t they know I have the two hour Amazing Race finale after this?
The recap ends, and we go to commercial, and when we return, it’s time for the weekly Ford music video. This one is by far the most disturbing. The idols are made to look like senior citizens (which meant for Taylor he’d have to dress like… normal), and then they all rap. Yes. They rap. In old people garb. I can appreciate the camp value and whatnot, but it’s AWFUL. And it only gets worse once we see a shirtless Taylor hanging out in a hot tub. All my nightmares come to life in that one moment. Everything wrong with the world seems to be personified by that image. On the bright side, the costume designers age McPheever by giving her a McFUPA. That’s right Katharine. Enjoy your upper pubic area now. It’s gonna be a beach ball in ten years.
The skit finally ends, and Ryan says, “I didn’t know Simon was having a party!” Oh! Kinda slam! You see, he insinuated that Simon hangs out with old people. That stings!
Ryan then talks about something or another, but I’m distracted by the world’s fastest crawl speeding by the bottom of my screen. It’s something about an Idol merchandise sale. I try in vain to read the words, but I find myself getting dizzy, and afterwards, when I train my eyes on the inanimate objects around me, everything looks like it’s slowly drifting to the left. I need a moment to regain my mental capacities.
Luckily, my brain’s processing power returns up to speed during a decidedly unchallenging segment featuring Hugh Jackman and Rebecca Romijn hawking X-Men 3 to the idols. Hugh tells the final three “I’ve been glued to the show. I think you guys are all amazing!” He then adds, “Especially that Chris Daughtry… with his masculine arms, that chiseled chest, and those soulful eyes that seem to say ‘It’s all right, Hugh. No one has to ever know. We can lie hear with each other forever.’”
Okay, Hugh doesn’t say that, but he does hand over some DVDs of the X3 press kit to the finalists — just in case they get bored over the next few days and decide to promote the movie on their own time. And of course, they do.
We then change gears from mutants and whatnot and head down to Alabama where Taylor enjoys his big homecoming. His day starts at 5:30 AM, and he visits what seems like every radio station and local news affiliate in the South. He does the weather, he plays his guitar, he rocks in his seat — the total Taylor experience. He then travels by motorcade to downtown Birmingham, marveling over his police escort along the way. He even makes a “Whoo-whoo-whoo” siren noise, but oddly enough, that’s just him warming up for his next song.
The big homecoming parade is gigantic — thousands of people line the streets to see their gray-haired hero. A cheerleading squad chants, “We Are / Soul Patrol! We Are / Soul Patrol!” I chant back, “You Are / Annoying! You Are / Annoying!”
Anyway, Taylor gets the key to his city and then treks out to Hoover, AL where he went to high school. He winds up in a packed mall where he sings some more, and sadly, we see the full extent of his influence. Turns out that Taylor’s spastic, uncoordinated dancing has motivated thousands of Americans to hit the dance floor again, no matter how untalented they are. This is best evidenced by the mayor of Hoover who rigidly dances by himself in the corner. People: Taylor cannot dance. Do not mistake his status as national curiosity for a source of inspiration!
Taylor then heads to the Governor’s mansion (which comes full stocked with its own Confederate Flag in the foyer! Yay!) where he meets Bob Riley and his chipper wife, Patsy. The three have meaningless chit-chat before heading outside to greet more fans. Taylor reveals the Soul Patrol now has two new members: Bob and Patsy. Let me tell you something: Patsy could not be happier. I half expected her to unhitch her bra and throw it at Taylor right then and there.
Oh Patsy. How you beguile me so with your bright pink housecoat!
At the end of the day, it seems like all of Alabama comes out to cheer on Taylor — or at least, all the white people in Alabama. Yeah, I wouldn’t call Taylor a “crossover” artist.
We then return to the live show and learn that Taylor will be performing the song he just so happens to sing on the new American Idol CD. How convenient! Anyway, the song is easy listening staple “Taking It To The Streets,” the exact same tune Taylor will most likely be singing ten years from now at state fairs and amusement parks. As usual, he’s full of pure energy and even calls Katharine and Elliot up to join him on stage. This leads to a triad of bad dancers as the singers amble around, occasionally flapping their arms and bending their knees. Yeah, it looks worse than it sounds.
The Mental Ward Dance!
The song finally ends, and then it’s time for Katharine to go home. I mean, not go home. I’m just saying that we see her homecoming video. It’s not nearly as elaborate as Taylor’s. Maybe that’s because Katharine lives about six miles away from where American Idol is taped — Los Angeles doesn’t do homecoming parades. Besides, we just had all those immigration rallies. Everyone’s too tapped out to assemble fro McPhee.
Adding insult to injury, Katharine then has to endure an interview with Jillian Barberie on Good Day L.A., which is pretty much my version of hell. I once accidentally implied that she was a whore to her husband’s face. Oops! My mistake! Awkward…
Katharine then visits local radio station KROQ where she sits in with morning jocks Kevin and Bean. Also present is Ralph Garman, the man who supposedly coined the term “McPheever” — a.k.a. my McFavorite McTerm of the McYear. Katharine then puts in some face time on Ryan Seacrest’s radio station, KIIS, and then because she has no masses of people screaming for her, she passes the time by taking a random helicopter tour of Los Angeles. Eventually, she winds up back at her high school where finally she finds some rabid fans. It’s all rah rah rah McSchool McSpirit, and the event culminates with a Katharine hugging one very happy and hefty guy. The day ends with Katharine going to her parents’ house where she greets relatives and holds her new goddaughter. How lovely. And boring.
We return to the live show where we see Katharine’s dad happily wearing a button that says, “Proud McPhather.” I’m not sure he’ll be wearing it too much longer after Ryan’s next question. Our plucky host asks Katharine how having her family close by has helped. She says her fam is great and everything, buuuuut, “I don’t even talk to them that much. I don’t call them really.” That’s the way to win over America: shunning your parents who CRY IN THE AUDIENCE EVERY SINGLE NIGHT!
As Daddy McPhee crushed his “Proud McPhather” button and ran out of the studio (that’s how it played out in my mind), Katharine took the stage again to sing “Think” by Aretha Franklin — also on the new Idol CD coming out. Kat tries to spice things up by taking off her shoes and strutting barefoot across the raised platform behind the judges. Oh how I hoped she’d step on an errant nail or tack. Alas, she survives, bringing the audience to its feet. Enjoying the performance particularly is none other than convicted felon Todd Bridges. And I thought last night’s troika of Roseanne, Leeza Gibbons, and Zac Efron was bad. They seem like The Oscars compared to tonight’s celebrity wattage.
Lastly, it’s time for Elliot’s homecoming. I wonder how the producers are going to get all the way back to the planet of Melmac, but then I remember that we’re not actually watching ALF. Before we even see Elliot’s hometown, we pause to say hi to Gavin Degraw in the audience. Ryan makes a special note to point him out — probably hoping this will force any memories of Todd Bridges out of our brains. Gavin stands and waves to the audience around him. Okay, okay — just sit down already. You’re a one hit wonder. Don’t act like you’re freakin’ Paul McCartney.
It’s too late, Gavin. Your time has passed.
We then travel to Richmond, Virginia, and as Dave Matthews plays on the soundtrack, we watch as Elliot jumps from one morning show to another. Eventually, he winds up in the pharmacy where he used to work — and after some sentimental moments there — he heads off to a park where he sings for the masses. Then it’s off to meet the governor (hey, Katharine didn’t get to meet Ahnold. What gives?). The Yamins have a lovefest with the guv’nah, with Momma boasting that she voted for him and Elliot offering up a big hug. Then it’s off to the parade through town, and as Elliot rides past a section of the crowd, a little girl chirps, “That was Elliot!!!” I know I should be deriding her, but dammit if she wasn’t the most touching lady of the night. At this point, I surrender to the corniness and find myself oddly moved by Elliot’s mom, who begins to cry with pride for her son. What a wonderful moment for her and Elliot. A life of dreams and aspirations, now slowly coming true and –… WHAT THE HELL HAS HAPPENED TO ME? I’m supposed to be cold! A heart of stone! None of this mush!
Anyway, we see Elliot throw out the opening pitch at some minor league baseball game, and then it’s back to the live show. And guess what? Elliot’s crying. Aw. We then cut to Paula, and holy waterworks! She’s bawling! Her face is glistening from all the tears rolling down her cheeks. Somebody get her a roll of Bounty! We then see Elliot’s mom, and now she’s crying too. Everyone’s crying! There’s not a dry eye in the place, especially after Elliot says that the whole homecoming day was like “an early Mother’s day.” It’s kind of a marked difference from Katharine, who seemed unwilling to touch her parents with a ten foot McPole.
Elliot sings once again, and then it’s off to commercial. When we return, Ryan tells us all about American Idol‘s effect on the industry, which really boils down to two words: Kelly Clarkson. Ryan then says that through it all, one person has been there year after year. That person? Elliot’s mom! Yay Claudette! Actually, no. Ryan’s referring to Clive Davis, and suddenly the music giant walks out on stage, receiving a standing ovation in the process. I’m confused. Is he going to sing? We haven’t had a guest performance in quite some time.
Much to my dismay, Clive does not sing. Instead, Ryan presents him with a meaningless plaque, and then Clive dives into a rambling speech about how truly wonderful American Idol is. It’s all so impressive and awe-inspiring and… totally random and unnecessary. Do we really need to sit here and watch this show congratulate itself? No, not really. Three hours later, Clive finishes his extensive analysis of Idol record sales, and finally, FINALLY it’s results time. Well, after the commercial break, natch.
When we return, Ryan slaps three numbers up on the big Jumbo-tron behind him: 33.06%, 33.26%, and 33.68%. Without knowing anything else, the audience starts to oooh and ahhh. Then again, I’m sure he could have put the word “Butter” up there, and it would have caused yelps of anxiety.
Ryan then says, “That’s how the fifty million votes got broken down between the three of you.” Oh really? I thought he was just putting random percentages up there for fun. Anyway, Ryan focuses on the lowest percentage, 33.06%. Whoever has that is going home. But who is it? Silence in the theater. The camera focuses on Taylor’s family. Then Elliot’s family. Then McPhee’s family. Then all the contestants. Then the janitor! Then a spider in the corner! Then Todd Bridges! Okay, maybe not those last three. Point is, it’s so quiet, you can almost hear the crazy music that plays inside Paula’s head. Finally, a name flashes on the screen. The person with the lowest percentage of votes is… ELLIOT.
Aww. After that nice homecoming video too. I was all ready to jump on his bandwagon. Poor Paula. She looks like she’s about to lose it. Anyway, the audience protests but quickly comes to accept Elliot’s fate, giving him a rousing standing ovation. Ryan then tries to squeeze a few extra tears out of America by leading a round of applause for Elliot’s mom. Oh Claudette! This one’s for you! And just when this moment couldn’t get any sappier (not that I’m not totally into it), Ryan then makes Claudette express her love. “I love you Elliot!” she calls out. I sort of wish she’d lower her voice to a rasp, touch Elliot’s forehead with her index finger, and say, “Ellll-eeee-otttttt. I’ll be riiight heeeere.” She’d then hop on a space ship and fly off to another planet.
This is why you gotta love Claudette. Amidst everything, she kisses her other son, just to make sure he realizes that she’s just as proud of him as well. Best Idol mom ever!
We then take a look back at Elliot’s journey, and what’s this? No Daniel Powter? It’s amazing! We can finally watch this montage without the distracting sound of his whiny voice. Gosh, it’s amazing to see how Elliot has changed over the course of the competition. He definitely wins this year’s award for most improved appearance. Alas, just as we’re getting into this whole video segment, the Honeymoon ends. Daniel Powter returns once again, ruining an otherwise touching tribute. Sorry Elliot. Even you can’t escape having the Bad Day.
After the video, we then see Paula who again is a total mess of tears and sadness. This is worse than the time she had the nightmare about MC Skat Kat getting run over by the train. And so ends another dramatic week of Idol. With only one more night of singing before the winner is crowned, it looks like the odds are in Taylor’s favor. It will be the battle of consistency and energy versus streaky brilliance and beauty. Who will win?
What did you think? Did Elliot deserve to go home? And who do you think will win? Who do you want to win?

OMG — first post! I missed the whole show last night — power outage in my little WV town! Thank God for TVgasm–I feel like I was in the audience. So sorry to see Elliott go–so wish it was Tic Man, but we can’t have everything! Unless something drastic happens, Tic Man will be the next AI — GAG!
Elliot was long over due to get the boot. I still don’t care who wins, I suspect the epileptic karoke mental patient.
Speaking of mental patient, Paula Abdul should be committed to a mental institution.
KH
That’s exactly how it shoulda gone down. Well done, American viewers!
But I don’t believe for a second the votes were that close. It was way too painfully obvious Elliot was going home during the last episode.
Ah well. ‘Reality’ TV at its best.
I love the last screen shot. Taylor looks genuinely concerned for Elliot. Katharine, just thinking about Katharine.
Last time I checked no one CHOSE to be a prematurely gray epileptic.
Lamest Final Two since Fantasia and Diana Degarmo. Yay another album I won’t be buying or even downloading off the internet!!!
Wow. Elliot should be there, despite looking like Alf he was the best singer! Go Taylor!
Public Enema, you buy albums from AI people? That’s funny.
I find it hard to believe that the votes were that close as well. I really wanted Elliot to stay, and Kat to go home. The scenes with his mom were really touching, and his tears made me want to cry as well. That being said- I’ll still watch next week but I’m done voting. At this point I don’t care which one of them wins.
No surprize there. Elliott seems like a nice guy and all and he’s definitely got talent but he’s weak in the performance dept. In comparing this to sports, he could use some time in the minor leagues for some development before he gets into the big leagues.
I just figured out who his mother looks like. Don’t you find that there’s a resemblance to Gollum in LOTR?
Although I am sad to see Teen Wolf go, did you see him pull the old, “I’m the same guy who used to work here” as he was signing autographs at his old job. Inside. With sunglasses on. Anyone who wears sunglasses inside is NEVER the “same person”.
And holy McWhiner! “I didn’t have THOUSANDS of people come out for meeeee.” Waa waa. Shut up you snotty brat!
Ugh, much agreed that this is going to be the lamest finale ever. I guess I support McPhee since Taylor is such a McTravesty.
Moving on, here are the new tracks from the AI cd:
1. What About Love- Melissa McGhee
2. Superstition- Bucky Covington
3. I’m Every Woman- Mandisa
4. Wanted Dead Or Alive- Chris Daughtry
5. Father Figure- Ace Young
6. Taking To The Street- Taylor Hicks
7. Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours)- Lisa Tucker
8. Walkin After Midnight- Kellie Pickler
9. Moody Mood For Love- Elliott Yamin
10. Think- Katharine McPhee
11. Midnight Train To Georgia- Paris Bennett
12. When I Fall In Love- Kevin Covais
I was disappointed that they didn’t put Chris’ “Walk the Line” performance on…I thought that was his best. But I’ll probably by his, Mandisa’s, Paris’ and (gasp) Ace’s tracks on Itunes. Sorry, but I really enjoyed his “Father Figure” performance.
I did expect Elliot to go home since he was a little lackluster on Tuesday, but I thought he was great last night in his number and his whole montage was really touching.
Also, to go back to what drudge (I think) was saying, Kat is the first AI finalist from a blue state since Justin Guarini (ugh). If she wins, she’ll be the first AI winner from a blue state ever.
Did anyone catch Katherine’s mother after Ryan announced Elliot was going home? She immediately went into the victory dance. Probably would have helped Katherine in the finals if her mother showed a little empathy for Elliot’s departure…at least for a minute before being so obnoxious. Taylor has my vote.
Thanks B-Side for the speedy recap. The screen shot of Paula is classic – she was awash in tears and snot – what a gal. She must have been banging Elliott or something – she didnt cry that hard for Ace (the scar) Tool-boy. And his Mom! How could we vote him off after that touching display??
Couple moments you didnt immortalize though – did anyone else notice (i.e. rewind their dvr three times) the chapau wearing Ground Hog cheering for Taylor Hicks? Complete with a sign that said something Like “Silver Lake Jake says GO Taylor”. It was hysterical – I thought for sure you would have caught it. Also, during the Bad Day montage for Elliott, they showed him in white and my god – he actually looked attractive(i.e. not alf like). I had to rewind that to make sure it was him!! He definately wins most improved appearance. The early Abe Lincoln shots should be banned forever!
The percentages had me all a twither too. They never said who had the highest % and I was sure it would be Kat only because no one in LA cared that she was home. She was a big whiner about not greeting the masses, I wondered how the govinator got out of seeing her – he must not be an idol fan. And that comment she made about her family was the kiss of death.
Finally – someone PLEASE tell me WTF a McFUPA is – I know what a gunt is but a FUPA???
That Idol Cd actually doesnt look half bad with the exception of
#8. Walkin After Midnight- Kellie Pickler.
Do you think they corrected her diction on that song? She butchered one of the best Patsy Kline songs ever with her nasal YEWWWWWW….
I was up all night with bad nightmares from seeing Taylor shirtless in that hot tub *shudder*
Taylor has this thing sewn up no matter how dramatic Gaycrest and his amazing percentages mezmorized us. After weeks and weeks and millions of people trying out..THIS is the best we could do for a winner???? A creepy (oooo..the image flashes back) man with Tourettes and an irritating need to pump his fist and repeat the same phrase to the point of nauseum??? And immigrants are fighting to live in this country??? I’ve heard numerous times over and over it being said…IF he wins..I will not watch the show again..now thats a ringing endorsement for a few millions albums to be sold..eh Clive?
Though i am fully infected with the McPheever..part of me doesn’t want her to pull off the upset. Just let her quietly move on and take her career in the direction she wants. She’s been McCrucified all over the internet the last few weeks(i hope she nor her family ever read this stuff) for the ouster of Chris to criticizing her for kissing babies (for God sake it was her GODCHILD!!!!) “Besides, we just had all those immigration rallies. Everyone’s too tapped out to assemble fro McPhee.” This killed me B-side! lol..but its oddly true. In LA u can see a star on every corner (well not literally..hmmm) why would they come out in droves to see an AI contestant? I think sometimes Kat’s “Pickler” moments get her in trouble. I am sure she didnt mean that she doesnt TALK to her family. Just tried to say that being so close..you would think they would talk more. OMG..what am i..her defense attorney? anyway..she is beautiful and talented and no matter what happens..she will have a bright future ahead.
the transformation of Elliot was amazing! I forgot how extremely scary looking he was in the beginning..if they hadnt done that makeover..i wonder how long he woulda lasted. America is so vain arent they? *sigh* I miss Mandisa!!! He’s a sweet guy and went out with class (note to Daughtery)
Sometimes we forget this is “just” a talent show and not the end of the world…but whyyyyyyyy oh whyyyyyyyyyy Taylor????
May the best contestant win.
FUPA=fat upper pubic area?
B Dub–re: comment #12—>
I thought the same thing about Kat’s mom celebrating. McDad was more reserved, as was Kat, but her mom was immediately waving her hands in the air, cheering. Made her look like a real stage mom. Not very sympathetic…I still like Kat, so I hope it doesn’t hurt her.
oh lordy…i almost forgot…the scariest moment of the night..when Taylor came over and infected Elliot and Kat with the spasm dance fever. That was the worst display of spastic “white people can’t dance” syndrome i have ever been exposed to. I kept yelling to MAKE THEM STOP! I swear at one point i saw Elliot do the robot! *dancing* *shirtless Taylor* SHUDDER!
Agree with some of the other posts. I feel like I wasted my time watching this for months on end only to have no interest whatsoever in the final two. I will cast my vote for Taylor but only as a vote AGAINST Katharine. And two nights in a row of Clive Davis was more than enough. It looked like they just woke him up before pushing him on stage last night.
I thought Idol was tough ticket to get — how on earth does Todd Bridges get in ? Maybe he was paid by Fox in an Idol ticket for appearing on that crappy skating show.
Jelliepair – FUPA = Fat Upper P*ssy Area. Gross.
Kat is an ungrateful girl and needs to get put in her place. Typical LA chick…not to offend any one else. Just venting. She isn’t anything spectacular and can and will be replaced next season by the next pretty girl that can somewhat sing. Not impressive. Wouldn’t buy the album
Taylor….he should win only because Chris isn’t there anymore and I do not want Kat’s head to explode on TV. That would be messy.
Oh Kat….someone should crown you “McBitch party of 1″
The mental ward dance looks strikingly similar to the Charlie Brown/Lucy/Linus dance.
I was sorry to see Elliott go but it was expected.
His homecoming segment was the best of the three in terms of being heartfelt.
I thought it was interesting that Elliott seems the closest to his family – Katharine seems the most aloof towards hers – and Taylor seems to have been hatched.
(Suggestion to Kat’s mom – buy a better bra…listen to Oprah)
Clive thanked them for the ‘Award’. Clive, it’s not an Award – it’s a really ugly POS plaque.
At least last night wasn’t a total loss -[spoiler removed] won TAR.
hb
I have been appalled at many of the McBeaver’s self-important comments and her better-than-thou attitude all season, but last night took the cake. Her celebration (and her mom’s) in the face of Elliot’s departure was disgusting. Show some class, you pompous shrew.
I agree–Elliot has turned into quite the hunky love-muffin. His tears and sweet heart only make him more attractive.
Go Taylor! He is adored by the masses.
Zoobabe…totally agree. There were thousands upon thousands of peeps out for Taylor, and Katharine had virtually a gym full of tweens. There was no way the vote was that close. Taylor has NEVER been in the bottom 3….B-Side, Kelly Pickler didnt cut her hair..she merely removed those hair extensions that were welded into her scalp. I was sorry to see Elliott go..Should be a fun finale. Finally, Public Enema, I couldnt agree more. The final with Fantasia and Diana DeGarmo was awful. I am still shocked Diana Degarmo even made it into the final 2. She is absolutely terrible.Didnt her album sell like 14 copies, the first week?

I didn’t know the governor of Alabama was married to Jenny Sac.
Really sad to see Elliot go. I was a McPhee believer until a few weeks ago, then I converted to Yaminism. He really has the best voice of them all.
I’ll still watch, but I don’t care who wins now.
Good point by HoneyBunny #13, where is Taylor’s family? Does he have parents? Siblings? Aunts? Uncles? Pets? Anything?
I know that in general people are really torn about him, but I really believe Elliot is one of the best Idols EVER on this show in terms of personality, graciousness, sportsmanship, talent, etc. If anything I think he’s a role model who’s shown the benefits of hard work, loyalty to your family, and sincerity. I’m sad to see him go but wish him so much success in the future. Going to cry now.
I don’t know about Taylor’s family, but on the news last night here in New York, they reported that Taylor was busted a few years ago for having 2 bags of pot during a routine pull-over. He would have been convicted, but the cop never showed up to the hearing, so the charges were dismissed.
Gotta love Alabama!
Taylor kicks ass.
Trixie:
here’s the equation…
Big cities = unfazed by AI
Small towns= um, fazed
LA wouldn’t have a parade if cancer was cured AND all LA sports teams won their respective championships. All on the same day. It just doesn’t happen in a town that sees celebrities in the local Vons shopping for groceries.
The contrast between the crowds for all three just shows geographics, not true voting power.
TVCHEESE:
Since Talyor is 60, that would probably put his parents at 80 ro 90. They are probably in the nursing home…
It’s not me! I swear! I post my comments, and they show up like two and three times. DAMN ME!
Plexitoes- Jenny Sac!
I have been hysterical about that comment for five minutes!
Whawha, Totally agree about big cities vs. small cities. I even agreed when Katharine spoke about the lack of fans due to her being from LA and all.
http://www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_27265495.shtml
STONED PATROL! STONED PATROL! STONED PATROL! WHOOOO!!!!!!
Now it least there’s an explanation for his dancing style…
I was sad to see Elliot go – I mean, honestly, he is the least likely to let the “stardom” of AI turn him into a jerkface; you know even Taylor would be in danger of becoming one of those recording artists who doesn’t have time for their fans and never sign more than a couple autographs at a time; where’s the Soul Patrol love now?
By the way, thanks HoneyBunny (Post#22) for completely ruining the finale of TAR for me. Isn’t it common knowledge not to blurt that kinda stuff out on comment boards?? Come on now.
If I had been Kat last night I would have been annoyed, too. The producers went out of their way with those homecoming videos to make it look like she has no fans at all. It seemed like a way to humiliate her in public. So I think she had the right to call them on it. From the very beginning, when no one could remember who Kat was because they gave her next to no air time, she’s had to speak up for herself. Faced with Paris’s zombie-smile “thank-yous” and the Kellie’s doormat “I’m sorrys” I prefer the sass. I like watching a contestant who really wants to win.
McPhee makes me McPuke. Seriously…she is screachy and soooo annoyingly vain. Did you see her mom jumping up and down. BOOO. Go TAYLOR!
Re: Taylor’s arrest. No coincidence he sings the Doobie Brothers so well?
RealityTV4Me (#21), I am in complete agreement – they are totally doing the Peanuts dance.
I am sad. I was really really really hoping Elliot would pull through (or at least the fans’ votes would) but alas, now we have to hear Katharine oversing whatever cheese-tastic-unnecessary-gospel-choir-POS song they write for the finalists.
Go Taylor. Because my mom likes him.
PS: I only watched the last five minutes for the results (hello, LOST was on!) — did Elliot perform after his hometown footage? If so, did he do Moody’s Mood for Love? That was the performance that made me become a fan; I might just have to download that one.
Sad to see Elliot go as well. Granted Tuesday night wasn’t his best, but he really had a great run.
Also sad to see that Honeybunney (#22) had to put a SPOILER on their comment. Honestly people how many times do we have to say don’t post spoilers in the commments- thats what the forum is for.
hb,
Thanks for finally compelling me to register. And thanks for ruining the evening I had planned by revealing the winner of ANOTHER SHOW in the comments section. Good work.
Sparky:
Originally, I thought Taylor’s first album would be covers of all that frat stuff…ytou know, Animal House stuff like Shout. But now I see it’ll be these covers:
One Toke Over the Line
Pass the Dutchie
We Are All on Drugs
Cocaine
Smokin in the Boys Room
Are there any more out there, people?
Aw jeeze, just when I thought I was immune..that picture of Claudette at the victory parade made me tear up while enjoying my morning coffee.
Sweet kid, sweet family…and so sad that we don’t get to see Claudette at the Kodak next week.
What’s the time limit on spoilers? I thought it was 1 am, so that people could have a chance to see the actual broadcast.
Are we allowed to say:
Rosebud was his sled.
Anthony Perkins plays his own mother.
The chick’s really a dude.
I’m devestated that Elliot got the boot .. devestated … so not right.
That ford commercial scared me …
How adorable is Elliot and his mom, just constantly crying the entire show? So cute … for more on Elliot’s divine nature and hometown pics …
http://flipkicksandnightbellows.blogspot.com
The time limit is:
20 minutes if it’s a teaching assistant, 30 minutes if it’s a professor.
Oh, wait. that was college.
Spoiler Alert:
Elliott got voted off last night!
well, I was sad to see Elliott go home. I really liked him and thought he had a great voice. I agree that he should get the most improved image award. I hope he has a nice career in music in his future. after thinking things over last night, I decided that it is better for McBitch to lose in the finals b/c it will probably sting more. I wouldn’t vote for her for a million bucks (okay, I certainly would but I’m just trying to make a point). She is such a snotty, self-absorbed wench. And to think, she was one of my faves from the very very beginning but then her personality slowly came out and now I believe I would kick her ass if I ever ran into her out on the town (of course, with a few drinks in me)…….oh, Taylor, please do well and win.
So sad that my little Elliot is no longer in the running. I cried buckets when Claudette was hugging her other son, crying in the parade, just standing there with all that “Geeze, I love my son” pride. Hoping that Elliot will make a cd of his jazzy/bluesy sound….I’ll buy it!!
Don’t really know who I want to win. I just don’t think that either Taylor or McBeev deserve the title.
If you all boycott American Idol, then the terrorists have won.
Thats alright HB i wanted to know who won and didnt have time to watch
WhaWha (#44) I heard that Taylor was going to mix in some heavy stuff too and do Sweet Leaf by Black Sabbath.
and introducing ralph garman as ralph, the smarmy host.
oh, how i miss joe schmoe.
I watch Idol with my mother via telephone. She gets really irked when I point out what a McSnot McPheever is. I, too, noticed her excitement when Elliott was voted off. I know she was just excited that she was still in the competition, but I think that shows poor sportmanship and zero class. And now that Elliott is gone, I guess I feel Katherine should win it as she is the better singer of the two. But I really hope Taylor wins it. He seems to be a nice guy and definitely shows more grace than McSnotty. I guess I really don’t care, now. Elliott was the best out of the bunch. And his little goodbye montage made me cry a little. Anytime I see a man cry, it makes me cry as well.
Side note: Lay off Honey Bunny. It isn’t her fault everyone was unable to watch TAR last night. I would have done the same thing. It seems to me that when a show is aired the previous night, message boards are fair game. Maybe B-Side could explain the “rules” or etiquette here. When it is okay to post about the results of an episode that aired previously? What is the waiting period?
Derder:
The first rule is:
No one talks about Fight Club.
The second rule is:
No one talks about Fight Club.
The third rule is:
If this is your first night at Fight Club, you will fight.
Wizzard:
Excellent!
(said while holding a bong)
Gotta say I was amazed at the reception Hicks got. I would’ve crawled into a shell. The dude just lapped it up. Proof once and for all that no matter how old he may be, the guy was born (hatched?) to be a performer. And hey! Let’s lay off Taylor’s hankerin’ for cannabis! The pot he smokes is for medicinal purposes only! When he tokes, the spasms subside!
We got plenty of shots of McBooty last night. Just in case any of us were to forget the reason why FOX chose to keep her in the show. I would so wear that out. Sorry, just had a little “man moment” there…
Elliot’s homecoming was really pretty touching. It was like “Cinderfella” or something. His mom crying in the car actually was actually very heart-warming. To see all those people cheering for your son, I defy anyone to say they wouldn’t be overcome with emotion.
To me, the silence at the end (when Ryan was waiting to unveil the loser’s name upon the screen) reminded me of the silence at the end of “The Truman Show” when viewers were waiting to see what Truman was going to do after finding out his entire life had been a farce. I was like, damn, life is imitating art here…
As for FOX why didn’t they go for the gusto and just make the splits as follows:
33.83487348% – Taylor
33.83487347% – Kat
33.83487345% – Elliot
Caramba, this is so much BS!!!
Krizzatch, nocable, Roob and anyone else I spoiled TAR for — I am VERY sorry. That was a bone-head move on my part and I do know better.
I think it was the pot I smoked with Taylor…
hb
ShouldBWorkin and derder –
Thanks for trying to soften the blow of my stupidity ~~
hb
whawha #56-
awesome!!!!!
Derder:
Yeah…everyone forgets the third rule…
b-side,
can you please remove hb’s comment? i am yet another person who had that spoiled for me before i could watch it.
Hb
Good enough for me. If it makes you feel any better, you were followed in quick succession by two different people at work. Guess I should have called in sick!
but i forgive ya hb, i just don’t want it to happen to anyone else
Oh B-side, I think I love you… except that I just sprayed coffee out my nose.
McPhee is McEvil!
It’s American Idol, Charlie Brown!
B-side:
Could you remove ldini79′s comment about removing hb’s comment?
No reason. Just wanted to see if it could be done.
I still think that by the next morning it can’t be called a spoiler any more.
I’ve always subscribed to a 24-hour rule myself. Either that or when the recap goes up.
I’m still sad about Elliot. His mom was too cute for words though. So much love in the Yamin family.
G-Money, I like your calculations. They could have put any old numbers up there.
ldini79 – thank you for asking B-Side. I should have done that already…
Please! B-Side, remove my mistake or I will be groveling to stangers all day (and not getting paid like my regular job)
hb
Haha, whawha…true that. I’m sorry, but I kind of think it is ridiculous that people expect to read a blog about TELEVISION shows and not expect to see spoilers if they haven’t caught the show. I missed AI a couple of weeks ago, and avoided this site and others completely until I got to see it.
Making the East Coasters wait until the West Coast sees it is reasonable…beyond that, people should read at their own risk
The rule at TVGasm is, do not talk about it if it has not been posted yet. Since the TAR recap is not up yet (rrrr!) you cannot discuss the outcome on the comments. Regardless of when it was on. In addition, some people may have taped it and will watch it later, so (DUH) they would not read the TAR recap until then. What a shock to see a TAR spoiler in an AI recap. Thank God I watched it last night.
TheEmancipationofGigi:
Here’s how pathetic I am…
I logged onto a Canadian forum last night and got a minute by minute AI update (I’m in Arizona so I get tape delay).
There’s nothing like the smug self-satisfaction of knowing the results hours before anyone else in the household!
haha, nothing pathetic about it at all, whawha…just Idol fanaticism like me.
Intrepid, say you miss an episode of AI. If you even log onto Yahoo right now, the fact that Elliot was voted off is plastered right on the homepage under the Entertainment headlines. Can’t miss it. As another poster pointed out, people at work or friends could also spill the beans…
If you missed an episode, especially the season finale of a show which people will especially want to talk about, it is your responsibility to avoid seeing any headlines about it until you get around to watching it. Everyone else should not revolve around your viewing schedule.
[The rule at TVGasm is, do not talk about it if it has not been posted yet.]
Where is this rule? I demand to see it! Where is it posted?! Show me the webpage!
ATTICA! ATTICA! ATTICA!
(hee, hee!)
How come they had 6’9″ 350 bodyguards at there home towns?? damn bodyguard almost took-out 14 year-old boy at McBootys hi-school!
Damn Whawha you are going to get me fired today! Can’t help cracking up at my desk!
Can’t wait til the McBitch is gone. Go Taylor!!
littledarling:
You should quit! The Man is holding you down! DAMN THE MAN!
ATTICA! ATTICA! ATTI…um, sorry. Did that one already.
thats 350 lbs. not 350 of them sorry
I’m live Richmond where Elliot is from, and I even went to go see him when he came home (yes, I am that girl)
However, I find it disgusting (Wizzard #9) that people can have such evil things to say about a woman who is so sweet,loving, supportive and adores her son.
You, and Hollywood should be ashamed of yourselves.
That’s all I have to say about that.
Okay — the spoiler is removed. Sorry for taking so long on that. Ididn’t get to see the finale until just this morning, and so I stayed away from all internet postings.
Still, here is a reiteration of the spoiler policy:
Until a post about the subject appears, it’s considered a spoiler.
That is the official policy. Informally — it’s also a spoiler to mention results of one show in another show’s post. So, for instance, the idol post and the Amazing Race post may both be up, but if someone were to post TAR results in idol, that’s really not fair to the people who may be intentionally avoiding the TAR post because they haven’t seen it. Please be courteous and think before you write.
Feel free to talk about results in the forums.
btw — on account of me just finishing the TAR episode, it’ll be a few hours before the recap is up.
Man, it’s going to be like a Tolstoi novel.
B-Side – Thank you!
I am sitting on a stool facing a corner in my office.
hb
I’ve never stalked a message board to this extent before (ok actually at all) and I’m starting to feel like I know you people at this point. Anyone else feel pathetic or is this acceptable because I’m trapped at my desk all day? Please advise..
Now I feel compelled to give out spoilers…Last night on Lost, they revealed it all was a dream.
Apparently, Bob Newhart woke up and rolled over to Suzanne Pleashette, who said “Go to sleep, Bob.”
I didn’t see that one coming…
Hey, in prior seasons of AI, wouldn’t the judges say some nice words about the booted singer at the end of the results shows? I’ve missed that for a while, but I really would have liked to heard their comments about Elliott (well, maybe not Paula’s). He seems like the kind of person who would’ve appreciated it, too. Blah blah bad day Daniel Friggin’ Powter. Maybe it’s just as well, since any more Elliott thoughts would’ve reduced Paula to a babbling puddle of mucousy saline.
Man, what up with that BS Clive Davis reacharound award? And dude…Todd Bridges? Boo all around.
B-Side, thanks for removing the TAR spoiler (no worries HB). Haven’t watched it yet. Apparently I need to get a quadruple-tuner Tivo or something.
wha wha – you are like my little brother who used to ‘aggravate’ the situation whenever I was in trouble. Making me laugh when I am supposed to be “thinking about what I did young lady!”
hb
HB:
Just watching your back…or cottontail…or, um, never mind.
Hey….whatever happened to ANTF? Haven’t seen or heard from him in ages?
“it’s also a spoiler to mention results of one show in another show’s post.”
Okay, but for how long? A day? A full season? Until we are sure everyone who waited for the DVDs have had a chance to finish watching them? (This is how I’m going to see season 2 of Lost.) Is it okay to mention who won BB6?… World War II?
Lisa: “G-Money, I like your calculations. They could have put any old numbers up there.”
They did.
Hope you’re havin’ a swell day!
Court_Love (#80), point well taken. My bad. I didn’t mean to offend and I can see that she’s a very sweet lady.
My favorite (?) moments from last night:
- Ryan doing his Trump impersonation, and telling us that there were over 50 MILLION votes cast last night. “Voting is a 300 BILLION dollar industry! Pick up your new Trump line phone and start voting today!”
- People getting a key to the city: what EXACTLY is a key to the city good for? Is there a huge lock on all the freeways leading into the town? Will the key get you into the City bank vault? Will it even open your luggage?? I think not.
- The Alabama Guv who had absolutely NO rhythmn whatsoever. He looked absolutely ridiculous trying to sway to Taylor’s song. The Soul Patrol should’ve arrested him post haste for a SERIOUS infraction. And Mrs. Guv, she looked like a huge watermelon all dressed in some hideous shades of pink and green.
- Katharine, who had to take the lonnnnnnnnng trip from Hollywood, CA to Sherman Oaks CA. Lonnnnng, meaning the 15 minute trip over the hill. (Well, probably more like a 1.5 hr drive if she had to take the 101 freeway during rush hour.)
- When Elliott was in the limo, & when he leaned his head out of the window and sniffed and said “ahhh– that sweet, Virgina air.” Just then, the camera for a split second showed a car in front of them in the near distance that pooted out a huge lethal cloud of exhaust from it’s muffler
- So, Elliott worked at a pharmacy, huh? That must be Paula’s hook-up for her habit.
- When Elliott was at the baseball stadium (in VA, mind you), where they presented him with a Jersey with his name on it. I would SWEAR that jersey they gave him was an Atlanta Braves jersey. Why are the VA people handing out ATL jerseys???? Don’t they have their own 3rd rate baseball team??
- Elliott’s Mom. She reminds me of someone (or some thing), I just can’t place it! She seems like a sweet old gal, though.
Well, G-Money, as we know, I’m a sucker for made-up statistics (see my love for DialIdol.com), so knowing that Elliot only lost by .2% makes me feel a little better. Or, according to your numbers, .00000002% [my number one/exclamation point key is broken today, so insert an exclamation point there in your minds].
Mkognito # 93:
Our baseball team is the Richmond Braves, and their jerseys are exactly like Atlanta’s jerseys (b/c it’s the farm team), although a baseball game hasn’t sold out in Richmond (like it did the night Elliot was there) in about ummmmmmm 15 years.
It’s a fine place to live, “aweet Virginia air” and all.
sweet, not aweet
Mkognito:
[- Elliott's Mom. She reminds me of someone (or some thing), I just can't place it! ]
Two words:
My preciousssssss.
I read that Elliott’s girlfriend has been promoting Taylor now. Whoooo yeaah!
Taylor all the way!!
It’s hard to believe what a roll you’re on B-side, but this has to be the bestest, bestest, most fantastic recap ever!!!!!
Oh how I loved Hugh’s secret thoughts, and the Elliott homecoming!!! Guess I was doing a Paula as I watched, whimpering like a fool, but you’re recap had me howling in here, I had to read parts out loud as I could not explain my tears of laughter!!!!
thanks, thanks, thanks for turning such a sad moment for me into such a fun one!!!!!!
Can’t wait to see the AR finale, but I still didn’t see it all (I too share your hour long pain!)
And the BOUNTY–F***ing classic!!!!!
I have been wracking my brain for WEEKS tryin’ to figure out just who it is Taylor reminds me of when he shoots off his random SOUL PATROL!s–Now, I love the boy–not my fave, but way high up there, so this is not in any way meant to dis him…Here goes:
Special Ed of Crank Yankers.
Now every time he lets fly his usual rally cry, my husband and I yell out “I make in my pants! I make in my pants!”
Hey HB, I was saved by B-side, as I would have been spoiled too, so I hope you’re day starts improving with the turn of the tides. I hadn’t read all the posts, obviously, when I launched into my B-side praise. good to know it’s not up yet too, as I may be able to catch the rush tomorrow.
HB, loved your visions of shame! Sorry for your pain, but I know, I’ve done stupid things in the past, and it’s ever more painful when it’s getting fed-back on!
I’ll be anti-mcfeever voting, but I don’t hate her, just want to see an old guy have commercial appeal in our youth oriented culture!
#21 & #40 – It is most definitely the Peanuts dance.
McPhee is Lucy. All we need now is a little Schroeder tinkling the ivories.
If only we could set the video to the theme song. Please please pretty please?
It was hilarious that they were doing their Taylor impressions. Loved the “Mental Ward Dance” caption and the Charlie Brown comment (#21). Now I’m hoping for someone to make a Dance Dance Revolution: Taylor Edition.
Our governator probably didn’t make a showing because he didn’t want to seem like girly man.
Elliott really did seem like a great guy and I was amazed at seeing his AI journey, too. He definitely improved the most. During “Hollywood week,” he and “Sway” had that little spat with one of the drama queen Brittenum twins and he sort of came off as a little cocky to me, but he got his chance and showed us what good guy he is. I wasn’t surprised at the results though. I wish they’d at least have each contestant do a recording of the montage song if we have to listen to it every week.
I’m starting to find it hilarious/sad how deluded some of the Kat comments are getting. Really, it’s not like she was rubbing it in Elliott’s face and taunting him for not going through. If she were truly arrogant, she wouldn’t have been excited and would’ve had that “yeah, I knew I was safe” look on her face like a certain previous contestant had every time he was in the bottom. Also, I saw her comment about how she didn’t have as many people come to see her as the others as her joking about herself, not whining. I really do hate defending her because it makes me look too biased, but some comments are just heading way too into “jealous cliquey high school b_tch” territory.
It appeared from that clip of her home visit that the McPhees are McLoaded. Nice house. I’ve still got the McPheever. Taylor is a tool.
“I really do hate defending her because it makes me look too biased, but some comments are just heading way too into “jealous cliquey high school b_tch” territory.”
I’m with you Raggedy. I have no McPheever and the Kat comments have seemed way too high school for me. It’s funny from teenagers; but scary from adults. What’s with the McHate? She’s just a kid. Of course she is going to be happy she made the final two. This is the biggest thing to ever happen to her. And God forbid people start to judge me for my Mother’s reactions to my accomplishments. I’d be doomed! She thinks me taking a shit is worthy of a national holiday. And she is right.
ok–so–now we have the final two
i will always think–elliott is a doll-gifted and humble–so he is goobery-but what a talented goober he is!!he will do well–no doubt about that–taylor is goofy but is just having a great time doing what he loves-everybody has an image–his is truly unique and different-and fun-fun-fun–he’s having great fun!!–always consistant and spasmatical!
you have to admit-everyone must/and or should have a touch of some kind of crazy in them!!ADMIT IT!!
as for kat—-well–i just can’t stand her—after each one of the last 3 eliminations—-she had that half way kind of a smile on her face–like–hot damn–i’m still here-sux to be the looser—hell–humble yourself girl—-you are goin home next week!!
artists like her come a dime a dozen—we don’t want another typecast!!
i really tried to really want to like her—-but during the whole season-something was holding me back–and i feel the same way now at the end of the season—chris was my guy–and will always be my fav—–
i will buy chris-elliott-and taylor’s music—–chris and elliott especially—
i could only get through 3 times for elliott on tuesday night–it bothered me–is there anyway of knowing the exact number of calls the contestants do recieve??
it was impossible to get through–and as much as i want my guys to win–i’m not spending money on text messaging!!!
give-um-hail-TAYLOR!!!
you’ve got my vote—if i can damn get through!!
I still love Taylor as a performer and singer. They’ve been looking for something different on AI for a while, and they finally have it. I like Katherine (especially those shots of her with Clive the other night…whew, THAT gave me the McPheever!), but, look, she’s just like thousands of other LA girls.
Taylor, now that’s a unique dude.
And,man,. G-money, you really do believe the comnspiracies, don’t you?
LMAO

TVCheese (#84): I’m with you on the message board stalking thing. I don’t spend much time on this kind of stuff, but I love these recaps. I can’t, however, check it out at work. I’m not willing to see what happens in an environment where web activity is monitored closely and I wander over to a site that ends in “gasm”. Yeah, thanks for naming it that!
I thought I had seen all the episodes to this point, but I don’t remember seeing flame-boy Ace singing “Father Figure”. I hadn’t found this site yet either, so I’m sure I missed out on the rather obvious “how appropriate for Ace to be singing George Michael tunes” comments.
Go Taylor. He’s OK, but the alternative McSucks. If she wins, she’ll even be a worse AI than Fantasia (who was evidently physically incapable of not ending a song with “yeah, yeah, yeeeeaahhh”).
Wasn’t “Beauty and the Geek” supposed to be another show?
TheEmancipationofGiGi (#28)–getting charges dismissed because a cop doesn’t show up is not exclusive to Alabama, it’s actually the way it is in most states. If you decide to go to court and fight a speeding ticket or something and the cop doesn’t show up, it’s automatically dismissed. It has nothing to do with being from Alabama.
Jay:
I believe in the TRUTH, my friend.
Of course you are LYAO, just like they laughed at and persecuted Galileo. Fools always laugh when confronted with something that forces them to re-think everything they ever thought was true. So you continue to whistle your way through the dark and I will continue to seek truth.
Keeping one’s head in the sand and allowing one’s ass to take a beating is always easier than having to face the fear of what one may turn up when they begin to examine the underbelly of Life.
You choose to believe out-of-hand everything you see and hear. I do not. Two different entitites, two different approaches to living.
Which one of us do you think will learn more about life?
On American Idol Extra, they showed the Behind-the-Scenes making of the latest Ford commerical.
It took four hours of makeup to age Kat and Elliott.
They also took twenty minutes to remove some of Taylor’s wrinkles.
G-money:
G-money’s back in tha houzzzzzze!
Bring it!
man this post still has me cracking up.
i hope for the last show mcboobies does the entire show on her knees.
and please please please someone assassinate the tick guy.

Hey, whawha! How’s trix?
A guy’s gotta stick up for himself every now and then, y’know?
G-money:
All good in the hood. It Is Friday, after all.
And you?
whawha:
Same here, my friend. Lookin’ forward to two days of R & R!!
well i’m still that girl who is bitter at katharine because chris is gone. but i looved elliot too, so now i’m bitter x2. I really can’t stand her, and I hope Taylor wins by a huge margin, even though I’m not a Taylor fan either.
Chris would have been awesome this week… so upset!
Oh, and Daniel Powter is performing ‘Bad Day’ live on the finale Wednesday.. because we haven’t heard it enough.
So much to say… so little room to post!
Final 2– the showdown. Taylor, well…. ick. My boyfriend (bless his soul) pointed out something I had never noticed about him. Hand the boy a blue dress and an impeachment— HE’S BILL CLINTON!!! Looks like him– check, pot smoking habit— check (oh, wasn’t there some sort of drug thing with Bo last year… I forget….)… his constant pandering (ie– “Soul Patrol! Soul Patrol!! = Vote for me! Vote for me!).. check! Bill Jr, everybody! Somewhat limited talent fueled by general charisma?– check!
Katharine– kid from the Valley (like, AS IF!).. loaded with talent? ABSOLUTELY.
This could go either way in the end… but I gotta go with my fave since week one… My McPhavorite. For us *ahem* older gals, we appreciate a gal with spunk.
As far as attitudes go, (and flame away) Daughtrey has been the worst. I’ve never seen a more sore loser in my life.Every interview, he says how he “never expected it”… listen up dude— you’re in the Final Four. If you don’t expect it, then you DESERVE it. Quit yer whinin’ ya big baby.
Okay, enough rambling….
why?//why do you all hate katharine??
Mmmmaan
Everybody quit hatin on my Claudette.
I’m still sort of dissapointed that it’s not Chris and Katharine in the final two. I mean, I want Katharine to win, but Chris deserved to at least be second best.
Katharie really needs to win. That girl can sing! I dont care what everyone else says about her, she is a great performer and vocalist. Compared to tayor she has an amazing amount of talent. I was right about Kelly, Reuben, and Carrie, i’m going to be right about Katharine. Seriously, what is Taylor going to do after he win’s?
Really, he’s going to have one hit thats going to last for about 2 weeks, and thats all you’ll see of him. Katharine on the other hand, I could see having many albums and being very sucessful.
VOTE KATHARINE!!!
Court Love (#95): Thanks for the elucidation on the Richmond Braves
I had no idea, but now I know!
