    Love your take on things. I too hope it's the end for Bucky Covington. I'm still holding my stance that I wanted Gedeon to be there in the Final 12, not Bucky! I disagree with you a bit on Lisa Tucker, but overall she won't win. As for Taylor? Heck, whether the song showed his vocals so much or not, he's SO entertaining to watch ... he's my outright favorite entertainer this season.

    I think we're seeing American Idol grow more each season. It's gotten away from the would-be cutie pop stars who can sing a song taught to them and onto folks with actual insight into the music. People like Taylor, Chris, Mandisa and Katharine take it to the next level.

    I'm a big Elliott fan. He's going to be a big success no matter what happens with American Idol.

    I am so glad Kevin is gone.. he voice was terrible and dont know how he made it this far. Chris is the best and I know so many people that would by his CDs if available at this moment. He will make it very far in this competition.

    Chris...if its too hard for you to admit then i'll say it...Elliot is HOT. he's got the stylists working with him now and he's looking good, that bit of facial hair he's growing in looks great and add to the fact that the boy can SING his ass off...all equals HOT in my book.

    but alas...not as hottt as Chris Daughtry. *sighhh* i can't take it.

    "I'm gonna need you to take off your clothes."

    ---you said it all right there...my sentiments exactly!

    I am very sad for Kevin is vote off. Remember he is only 16 years old and he does have a beautiful voice and so cute for his age. People are so cruel to talk like that to Kevin and People just don't understand. I feel so bad for Kevin. I am a big fan of Kevin. I will not watch American Idol anymore.

    I totally agree with you chris on your choices. But in all reality, this show is to show the different talents that most people have and what is out to be discovered. I know that You did not like Bucky, (as I Strongly agree with your thoughts on him.) But there are unfortunate numbers of people who kept him there as long as he was. Mandisa was a Hot Performer. The girl had pipes and really was the one to beat in the competition. She is a big inspiration to most people who put GOD first. Go girl!!! Of course the others left me thinking. Who the hell would want to keep these fools here??? Obviously many. I am someone who does not like to sugar coat my thoughts. Unfortunately, I too, do not agree with the top 2 left. Chris Daughtry should be in the top 2. I think that he is better off without American Idol cause he won't be stuck fulfilling the contract that ties them down to what the record label wants. He was surely shocked to see the results of him going home. He is of course an attractive young married man that looks good. But he had a door close on him. So others are opening windows for him now. Congrats Chris!!! Lisa Tucker...Where do we begin...very cute girl...Hated your vocals girl. Sorry...You can sing better with better song selection. You chose the wrong ones!!!!!!!!!! WHY!!!!!!!!! Kevin, Kevin, Kevin. Chicken Little you are a nice little boy who needs alot of growing up to do. I felt sorry for you when they put you on because they were setting you up to get hurt and of course no one deserves that. But you accepted. Brent Young aka Ace, you have the looks but you're toooooooo COCKY and no one likes that attitude. I would never buy your CD if you keep that crap up. SHOOT!!!!!!! Unfortunately Taylor, you are the Idol Choice I would pick due to not having a choice, Katharine's personality is too weird, don't get me wrong girl, you can blow, you have such a unique voice but I can't fathom the idea of you being the one. Taylor has a better chance at it due to having some experience in being in a band. Unfortunately no one will ever be better than KELLY CLARKSON, That Siren can sing anything. Even though she made me feel like a natural woman when I heard that song in the first season. WHOOO!!!!! I have not been wrong on any season... My feelings are for Taylor. Have a good one too!!! and Chris...If you need some help with the selections let me know!!! I am sure I can give a little hand. (I hope I didn't offend anybody. If I did I am sorry. But get over it!!!!!!!)
