AM IDOL STARTS THIS WK:)

[Jan]

I WANT MY CHRIS TO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kathyn I'd be happy too..I don't think Paris will but she does have great voice for someone her age boy

[BostonQ]

I think that I'm the opposite of you, Jan... right now, I'm rooting for Katharine, but I would be happy with Chris or Taylor... I liked Paris a lot during the auditions period, but I think she made a ton of bad song choices once she made the Top 12...

Do you know what Cher and Kellie Pickler have in common?? Here's an article from YahooNews:

May is National Foster Care Month: "Thank You Kellie Pickler!" American Idol Finalist

"Kellie Pickler is a role model for teens in foster/kinship care. It's her voice which will determine whether or not she wins or loses not her difficult life," says Beth O’Malley, foster care social worker, former foster baby and author of teen lifebooks, "If she can do it, having a father in prison, a mother who abandoned her as a toddler, and losing the grandmother who helped raise her, she brings hope to others with early trauma and loss.

"I’m amazed by her voice, not just her ability to sing but to speak without shame about her life and losses," she says. O’Malley adds that a number of famous actors and singers have spent time in foster care or were raised by relatives such as Jamie Foxx, John Lennon, Eddie Murphy, Cher, James Dean and Ice-T. ...

Oh I love Kathryn..yea Parris not mega fond of just think she has nice voice for someone 17!...Chris still my fav..I was never a Joe thingyer fan so not much a fan of Taylor but I def find him entertaining.. I would be happy if Kathryn or Chris take it home..should be interesting:)

[Jan]

Aww I didn't want her to win but felt Parris should have been in a bit longer..Elliot I thought should have gone..Taylor seems real popular..I'd like to see Chris and Kathryn as the last 2 standing and would be happy if either of them won this

[DEE]

I had a feeling that Paris was going to go, think it will be Elliott next. I def think that Kat and Chris will be the last two and I do think that Chris will win ( I really do not care for him at all...think he always does the same old style every time). Katheryn really has a beautiful voice and can just about sing anything. Would love to see her win, but talking to people I think more like Chris.

I think Chris will win too..but on radio today in NY they think Taylor has a shot..I doubt it..maybe final 3 but NOT last two..I would not mind seeing Kathryn..she's great and has great shot I think

[Jan]

Tonite should be real cool w/Graceland and all

[Jan]

Need I say more? What in the heck is America thinkin? Looks like Taylor gonna win I guess? I mean he's fun and entertaining but the next AM IDOL? NO way...I'd like to see Kathryn win now that my Chris is gone:( But don't look likely..Looks like Taylor all the way? I still miss Mandeesa..Elliot is just ok..no personality really? Oh well

[BostonQ]

When Taylor was asked to sing, I thought forsure that they did that because he was going home, so I was totally shocked it was Chris...

[Jan]

See and my friend and I watched it together I knew that when they asked him he was not going anywhere..I am so bummed Chris out:( I think per what radio here in NY said Taylor gonna win..he's entertaining but an AM idol? NO way

[Jan]

Want Kathryn to win but eek taylor seems to be the winner this yr? I want Elliot to go tonite.the guy can sing but no personality. that is the one thing I agree w/my office on as well..taylor was good but still want Kathryn to win..(don't think she will though)..Last nite didn't care for songs she chose though

[DEE]

Well, I like all three that are left...Have to agree that I think Elliott will go this week, but you never know!? I really Like Taylor's spunk but I think Kate sings a WHOLE lot better. I guess I would like to see Kate win but again guess you never know!? Just wish the Chris fans will let it go about him being voted out....it happens....happened to Stacey Keebler on dancing with the stars, which shocked the heck out of everyone.

I loved mandeesa too..so did frank I know..pls she said quadruple better than taylor but yea his spunk i love but he's more a karoke type singer..AM idol? no way ..overall want kathryn to win

[Jan]

WOW tomorrow last nite already..then Big Brother soon I guess! LOL..Well Although I felt taylor was a lot better tonite I still would love to see Kathryn win this competition but looks unlikely:( The "debut" song I liked the one taylor did better..but vocally I think Kathryn way better but I think he's gonna take it all..any opinions..BTW tomorrow it's on early..red carpet and all

[Jan]

Wanted Kathryn to win but knew she wouldn't..Great show..and WOW PRINCE..Glad Kathryn was asked my G Clooney to star in his next movie:) YEAH..

[DEE]

I really enjoyed the show last night! It was nice seeing everyone back again, and I liked the songs that the "girls" and "boys" did. Guest were really great also, no Cher though! LOL!
Didn't really surprise me that Taylor won, even though I liked him alot I am not sure that he is really marketable. He def has stage presence but not sure about just listening to a record of his voice. I think Kate actually sings better but really did not like her individual song. I think a lot of the 12 will have short term careers cause there was a lot of talent on that stage this time.

He's entertaining but the next AM Idol..no way jose..everyone at work was complaining as was I..I mean Chris and Mandeesa belonged in final 2...Kathyrn and Parris had good voices too..I loved Kelly's cute haircut..ROCKED seeing Prince..Yvette I'll check if I still got tape when I return from upstate this weekend..
