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

[RyMickey]

was it me or did she get fast at one point and was off from the band?

I could be wrong, but I do think that was the point.

That was the prettiest arrangement of Over the Rainbow that I have ever heard.

OK, that was unbelievable, by far the best song of the whole season.

My mouth is still on the floor.

Way to go Kat.

I have heard one better not sure who it is by but its on my MP3 player let me look...it is amazing...Kat did good but I still say her voice isnt right

ITA I absolutely loved it. I am not a big fan of kat but that changed my mind. She brought tears to my eyes. Corney? maybe. but it was definately the best I have heard the whole competition too. Beautiful!

Katherine #2 - This one isn't doing much for at all.

I agree. She is sharp and flat on those high notes (yikes, painful). All of the judges must be drinking the AI happy juice tonight to think her rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow was the 'performance of the season.'

Nope heard it done BETTER than that!

So, has everyone picked their idol winner? I'm gunning for Taylor. The other two do nothing for me whatsoever!

I loved Katharines song! I think I am voting for her tonight for the first time ever.

Eliott has been good tonight too, Taylor, didn't really like song 1, but I'm not a huge Sprinstein fan either. My DH is and he thinks Taylor is horrible. He said he would have walked out of the room after the first 2 notes. When I told him that Taylor is the favorite to win and he has been #1 all season he was shocked.

KATHARINE!!! YES!!! I don't care what anyone says. That was beautiful! I have said all along that she sings better with just piano or no music at all than with the full band behind her. She actually brought tears to my eyes. Sometimes when I hear someone sing (like the first time I heard Josh Groban sing on Ally McBeal for example) I get this chill...it's how I know when someone has IT. And tonight Katharine definitely had it!!

No way guys, that was awesome.

Eva Cassidy-somewhere over the Rainbow....great great version

 

[lbgraves]

WOW! Taylor is going to blow tonight out of the water! He sounds incredible just with the first line!

Taylor #2 - Great choice for him and put a nice Taylor spin on it. Very good!

[Reflection]

I don't. Now I don't have to go to the Bathroom after HIS performance!
