Katherine McPhee looks great tonight. She looks very Martina McBride meets old Hollywood. I love her. Yes, honey. Finally someone's on pitch. Oh, she sounds great. Stevie's right, this girl has a lot of potential. This rendition of "'Til You Come Back To Me" is beautiful. The great thing about Katherine is she knows how to make a performance magical even with the quiet moments. YES! Wow. Simon just compared Katherine to Kelly Clarkson. What a huge compliment.
Taylor Hicks, bitches. He really knows how to make you feel a song. I don't know what it is about this man, but his performances just have this authenticity, this heart and soul that makes you smile without even realizing it. You feel the music in your veins. Great performance of "Living For The City" — I see him going so far. Just one thing Taylor ... the caterpillars parked above your eyes are bothering me a bit.
Paris Bennett. Not sure about the Ghetto Fab Barbie look, but I love this girl's voice. She's singing "All I Do" and she's singing the HELL out of it. Go 'head GIRL! Paris is very Fantasia but younger, and with a more listenable voice. I really cannot wait to see what happens when this brilliant vocalist pulls out all the stops.
Chris Daughtry. I ... need to marry this man. I love him. I just want to oil up that bald head, rub my hands all over it — uhhh, I mean ... great performance. Most original of the night, definitely. But I don't think it was the best vocal of the night. And I think vocally Chris can do much better.
Best of the Night:
Vocal: Katherine McPhee
Performance: Taylor Hicks
Originality: Chris Daughtry
Going Home: Bucky Covington

All right, so I'm still watching the show - there goes my "I only watch it for the kooks" excuse. That apart - am I the only one who thinks Kevin Cowais looks like Chicken Little? Or is that too mean?
My choice for going home - Kevin Cowais/Bucky Whatsisname

I really wish that Elliott was better at song choice. That voice is amazing. The song choices are not. He's also so nervous. I really want him to do well.

That was so funny.
Disagree with you about Bucky. Although I liked your description, heh.
AI could be ready for a male country/western type. I made a post about the teeth and the compassion police jumped all over me.

Paris has already has a HUGE connection to the music industry. She shouldn't be on AI.
Therefore, nobody should vote for her.

I know David is going to win man and The stlyle of his music that he likes is so getting boring and i ready for somthing new
7 - Chris Evans
...Who is David?
8 - WTF?
Chris original? How is a karaoked rock cover of RHCP of a SW song original?
He totally butchered the meaning of THEMES.
As always, solid performance, 0 originality. One trick pony that one.

I am really just trying to let everyone know how much you are being duped by the networks here. Whether its American Idol or say Survivor these are not the best of the best thats for sure. As an example please refrence this Stevie Wonder cover song by a band from Boston Simply Amazing

You've clearly never been to Utah...because Bucky has got to be from Appalachia. But then, I've never been to Appalachia.

Who is David? That crooner who was kicked way before this? And Chris is original? That bald guy copied other rockers - not an original vein in his bod. Yuck.
