American Idol, Season 5 **Official Discussion Thread** Part 2

[J.Cooper]

Loved Chris. He can sing anything. I feel Kellie should get the boot tomorrow or at least be in the bottom 2. Time to go vote! Voting for Chris and Paris tonight. Just so Paris won't get the boot over Kellie.

 

[RyMickey]

Chris is good, but I wouldn't be rushing out to buy his cd...

Now, Kat on the other hand....I'd better start voting...

 

[wdwgirl03]

Great Job Chris.

He was very very good!

 

[Kitty 34]

As much as I love Taylor, Chris is all deserving of the American Idol title.

 

[lillygator]

sorry - but I thought Taylor, Chris and Elliot ROCKED tonight!

 

[Papa Deuce]

Iwas just going to post that the whole night was worthless --- including Kellie --- when alongcomes my boy Chris!!! He was the ONLY one I liked tonight.

 

[beattyfamily]

As usual, my favorites are Katharine and Chris! They were great! I'd be happy if either one wins this but I voted for Katharine.

 

[lillygator]

I better actually vote tonight!!! It's amazing how ONCE AGAIN the judges throw the "copy" thing AT Taylor but PRAISE Elliot for it???!!! Come on people!!


and Pickler....ugh...she was awful tonight!

 

[mickeymousemom]

I love Taylor. Chris will be the winner...I love his style..he truly does ROCK.
Now Elliot....he melts me like an Itzakadoozie in July

 

[lillygator]

I really love Chris - but I truly hope he ends up not winning...he is not a Pop singer - well ok he can sing anything, but he would sound so much better doing linkin Park, Limp Biscuit, etc....

 

[Philadisney]

no luck getting through at ALL on either line for elliott, as usual. swap that computer out for a cell phone, and that's how i'm feeling right now. guess i'll try again later

 

[damo]

Well, well the order in DialIdol has changed for the first time. Taylor is not at the top!!! He's got to pick it up because it really has been his contest to lose. He really seems to have lost interest where Elliott has just been getting stronger.

 

[eclectics]

Iwas just going to post that the whole night was worthless --- including Kellie --- when alongcomes my boy Chris!!! He was the ONLY one I liked tonight.

My sentiments exactly. He blew everyone else out of the water tonight.

 

[jaimee1024]

I don't know if it's because they have two lines each tonight, but I've had no trouble getting through for my two choices (Katherine and Taylor). Here is my list tonight from best to worst:
Katherine
Elliott
Chris
Taylor
Paris
Kellie

Kellie needs to go home with Paris following soon after. Taylor needs to really bring it next week. Katherine needs to stop trying so hard. She has a beautiful voice and she is beautiful...just sing sweetie...just sing. Elliott...gotta love him. I wouldn't mind if he won because he's such a nice guy. But he just doesn't do it for me. Same with Chris. I think singers like Chris are a dime a dozen. I see him fronting a rock band, but not having a solo career.

 

[Tracey1974]

Kellie put me to sleep

I thought Taylor did an awesome job, that is one of my favorite songs and I thought he did a good job! Oh well- I hope Kellie leaves after tonight.

 

[MrsMud]

I love that song that Elliott just sung. I have The Carpenter's verson on CD.
*still sad about Karen*

I LOVED the Carpenters growing up! Actually I still do. Everytime I hear "Merry Christmas Darling" I feel like crying. So sad

...Oh. American Idol!

Loved Katheryn (and she's not usually my fav), don't know WHAT the judges were listening to.
Elliott- Pretty good, he used to be one of my favs, but I just think he uses way too much vocal modulation, I keep wanting to say, "Just Sing!"
Kellie- Totally butchered it again, she needs to go home yesterday!
Taylor- As one of my top 2, he has disappointed me the last couple of weeks. I agree he seems to be losing his desire to win. I hope he steps it up before it's too late.
Paris- I don't know what to say. I really want her to go. On the one hand I think she may have the most natural talent in the competition, but she just DOESN'T GET IT! Once again, she flashes her smile while singing a SAD song! I loved when she said it was the perfect song for her because it's about memories, she doesn't have love thoughts. Uh, what? Hello... the song is someone reminiscing about the lost LOVE of her life! Barbra definitely never flashed a smile while singing it.
Chris- Love ya, man! I don't think he was the best of the night (I still think Katheryn was), but I love him. Go, Chris!

 

[Reflection]

Chris was ok.

I swear ALL of these were my FAVORITE SONGS!

1: Elliott
2: Chris
3: Paris
4: Katharine
5: Taylor
6: My neighbor
7: My 4 cats
8: My broken radio
9: A stray dog in my yard
oh and yes.

10: Kellie...

 

[r3ngels]

My 2 cents... I disagreed with the judges alot tonight

Katherine- LOVED, not usually a huge fan but she was great

Elliot- I am sorry he has a great voice but he is so boring... I never can listen to a whole song

Kellie- I think she may go home... I agreed with Papa last week thinking she was going to be in the final 3 but I think that she is going home- not good this week at all... plus she always admits she sucks- I think she knows

Paris- Not a fan... sorry she didn't sound that great to me

Taylor- I liked it, not his best but I think he is more entertaining than Elliot

Chris- Everyone else can go home- he is going to win, not my type of music but he is the best IMHO

 

[MickeyMouseGal]

I LOVED the Carpenters growing up! Actually I still do. Everytime I hear "Merry Christmas Darling" I feel like crying. So sad

Me too! It's my favorite Christmas 'sing along' song though. I have a fairly low singing voice and she's one of the few contemporary singers who is in my range. Unfortunately, they don't play her songs much on the radio anymore... except for Christmas.
Do you have the Carpenter's Love Songs album? It's AWESOME!!!
Go check it out on Amazon.
If you scroll down, you can catch 30 seconds of "A Song for You".

I still Taylor though!

 

[damo]

Has anyone here seen Wicked? Does Chris remind anyone else of Dr. Dillamond?
