Err... I thought you are gay? Didn't know you are bi as well.

Anyways, back to topic, I can't wait to see Kat win this thing cause I'm getting sick of Carrie's overwhelming popularity. Her songs suck! Blah!

I don't hate vaginas. I've had a few lovely encounters with them over the years. And besides, it would be a stupid and misogynistic to say.

LMAO and I 100 percent agree. Taylor's basically performs like a drunken frat boy. It's embarrassing watching him try to do dance moves because he's downright spastic -- no rhythm, no sense of timing.

And I do hope he wins. Katherine is just anothher mediocre chanteuse but Taylor is downright awful.

i think it all boils down to whom clive davis wants to sign for his recording company... and based on his enthusiasm level when he spoke to Taylor as compared to Kat, it does seem that Taylor is gonna win this thing eventually...

but if he thinks for the long-term, Kat would be his choice...

well, we shall see next week at the Kodak theatre who will prevail... LOL!

I don't think she was happy Elliott was eliminated but happy her daughter is in the Top 2. She has the right to be happy for her daughter, right?

Did anyone see Kat's Evil Stage Mother mouthing "Thank You McPhans" to the camera during Elliott's sing-out? And did anyone notice how bored she was during Elliott's first song, until she realized the camera was on her?

Seeing how close the vote totals were showed that it was a statistical dead heat, which basically allows them to get any result they want.

It's very sad. I'm away from the TV but I the boards say that Elliott went home. It's very sad. I think I'm sick of the mediocrity of AI. They can't stop picking the crappiest artists. I honestly think I'll vote Kat next week just so I don't have to admit that Taylor is American Idol.

Sonic Youth wrote:But what is this... this THING called Taylor?????? He is one of the most repulsive people I've ever seen in my life. He looks absolutely deranged! He has one of those voices that's raspy, not smoky, and sound kind of like Steve Miller or an American Robert Wyatt. But when he does his stage antics, the real comparison is cornball supreme David Clayton-Thomas. "You Are So Beautiful" was the greatest performance of the season? Really?? Is it me?

Rich Juzwiak (who was one of the four who compiled that Slant list of dance songs), was way ahead of the curve in hating Taylor.

I almost did my own anti-Taylor post a week or two later when he performed "Living for the City" on the Stevie Wonder show, but by that time I was too late.

Taylor Hicks is what happens when you leave appreciation of soul music to the PA systems in Famous Dave's restaurants.
