American Idol convenes again this week as the final 6 contestants perform Classic Love songs with the help from
Andrea Bocelli. Missing from this week's line up is Ace Young who was sent packing by America. My fears this week are for Paris Bennett. Being the youngest member of the Top 6, she is the one most likely to not be able to connect with this week's theme, but then again, she may very well have experienced a deep relationship that she can draw on in her performance. In any case, it should be an interesting show.
Stay tuned for details as they come to hand.

Katharine McPhee
Song choice:
I Have Nothing
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5701 or 1 866 436 5707
TXT Vote to 5701
My Thoughts: I don't think this was Katharine's best performance by a long stretch. Whitney is hard to pull off and as much as I love Katharine, her voice isn't that big. She should have chosen a more subtle song for her voice. If she had sung something more like what she did last week then she may be a little further away from being in the bottom three this week.
Randy:
Paula:
Simon:
Elliott Yamin
Song choice:
A Song For You
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5702 or 1 866 436 5708
TXT Vote to 5702
My Thoughts: Elliott has a very nice voice to listen to but am still not convinced he's good enough to pull in the crowds to a concert. He just seems to be missing some personality despite having the chops.
Randy:
Paula:
Simon:
Kellie Pickler
Song choice:
Unchained Melody
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5703 or 1 866 436 5709
TXT Vote to 5703
My Thoughts: This sounds really bad tonight. If the judges can slam Katharine for not sounding like Whitney then surely they need to bounce her for sounding this bad. That was truly painful to listen to tonight.
Randy:
Paula:
Simon:
Paris Bennett
Song choice:
The Way We Were
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5704 or 1 866 436 5710
TXT Vote to 5704
My Thoughts: Paris has gotten a little boring for me. I was concerned at the start of the show and it doesn't really sound like she's connecting with the song at all. I was afraid this would happen and she's just gotten up there and sung rather than perform.
Randy:
Paula:
Simon:
Taylor Hicks
Song choice:
Just Once
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5705 or 1 866 436 5711
TXT Vote to 5705
My Thoughts: This really wasn't a good song choice for Taylor. You could hear his personality in the song but the original was again so much better. What a strange night this has turned out to be.
Randy:
Paula:
Simon:
Chris Daughtry
Song choice:
Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman?
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5706 or 1866 436 5712
TXT Vote to 5706
My Thoughts: This is so funny hearing Chris sing
Bryan Adams. It's not too bad once he gets into the song but his gravel doesn't quite suit parts of the song. It is nice to hear that softer side to Chris but I do wonder if that will be detrimental to his fans having done that two weeks in a row when last week saw him in the bottom three.

We all know jordan Sparks or Phil stacey will win
but probably Jordan
A kelly clarkson fan?
For all those who have a Mcphever, riding the E-train, or a member of the Soul Patrol. You can put down ur telephones and cellphones. The next American Idol has already been chosen by the producers. It is of course Chris, who didnt win with weekly solid performances, which made ur and my favs look like amateurs but because this is what is and will be. Remember this is entertainment so if your favorite is not Chris, than enjoy ur favorite until their time has come. I'm not predicting this...i'm telling u this. There will only ever be one true American Idol that America voted for, Kelly Clarkson.
I watch American Idol from faraway Sri Lanka. I was sorry to see Ace go. We think that this time the males are better then the females. So good luck to whoever deserves the title and warm greetings from Sri Lanka.....
Found out a cool place to see a breakdown of number of votes for each contestant. Who knows how they got the info. WWW.Zabasearch.com theres is a link on that page.
I'm really surprised at how few people think Elliot is the next American Idol. In my humble opinion his voice is so far above everyone else. What he lacks is stage presence. That will all change once all the " handlers" start to groom him on how to dress and what to do on stage. I haven't heard about him belonging to a band or performing for audiences, which puts in at a disadvantage. I hope he wins.
You repeat everything the judges say...maybe you should come up with an original thought before ripping people who have the nerve to sing on national tv?
Katharine is an idol clone. She almost plays the show like one would paint by numbers. She sings better than Ace, but she plays the camera equally as much as he did. Taylor is limited in vocal range. Paris's song selections are awful. Her voice, although good, is not used to its full potential. Why does she choose such horrible songs? Kellie needs to go. Her "Dumb Show" is getting old. That leaves the only 2 truly gifted, original singers: Chris & Elliott. I would be hard pressed to choose between the two, but Chris does have more personality so he has a slight edge.

I tried for 2 hours last night to vote for Taylor, and I could only get the busy signal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That really makes me angry. Makes me wonder about fairness. I could not find any way to let them know. Taylor is still my favorite. He sings from his toes.
"I love Katharine, her voice isn't that big." I bet if she did a huge hit song, that truel belted her voice and proved she could, get down and dirty with her voice and put good use to her ability to sing, I think we'd all be surprised with what it is she can actually achieve. Maybe she is saving the best for last?
Maybe she's continuing to play it safe, who knows. But I have that feeling with Katharine that she has something more to offer.
WOW, don't YOU feel like a fool now? I'm TELLING you this. geez, loser.
