American Idol - And the weeks go on (merged)
- Thread starter Revrag
- Start date
1. Taylor - my personal favorite. The only one out of group that I would buy a CD or go see in concert
2. McPhee - She can sing + a lot of single men might be voting for her too
3. Chris - Too one dimensional for my taste, but he can rock it.
4. Elliott - I like Elliot, he has a good voice, but he seems to be the weakest of the 4.
At this point there are no losers anymore. Thye will all be "winners" regardless of the outcome.

I find it refreshing that as Paris was leaving the show, those that know from Stevie Wonder to Rod Stewart to Barry Manalow to Brian May from Queen to David Foster all said that Paris has it and a bright future ahead. In spite of America or the judges, it seems like Paris Bennett is on her way and has the talent for stardom regardless of her age.

(her performance the past two weeks left a lot to be desired for me, but she seems ordained to win this thing)

I haven't been this decisive about my picks in a long time.
1t. Katharine
1t. Elliott
3. Taylor
4. Chris
Bottom two: Taylor, Elliott
Voted off: Elliott - even though he is undeniably the best male singer in the competition bar none. He doesn't rock or go wild for the crowd, but voice control, pitch, and timbre, oh my goodness. This man can sing. It will be sad to see his "boring" factor do him in, and it will.

Official Kings Fans American Idol Power Ranking Week 16
For the third week in a row according to the new official Kings Fans Power Rankings, we have a clear cut leader for the next American Idol. McPhee is on top. We have picked the one to go home now FOUR WEEKS IN A ROW. According to Kings Fans it will be Taylor Hicks time to go. I disagree, considering tonight is Elvis night my prediciton is Taylor will sing Jailhouse Rock and Falling in Love With You. He will take that fast ball and turn on it like Barry Bonds high on the cream and the clear.

This weeks theme is Elvis Presley. I really haven't seen why everyone is so drawn to Taylory, but I think he will do really good this week. I really was hoping he will be booted off this week, but it looks like it might not be the case.
My power ranking is:
Chris
Katharine
Taylor
Voted off will be Elliot. Just don't think this type of music will be his strong suit.

Interesting .... I actually think Elliot could do fine this week ... the song I have in mind is: Can't Help Falling In Love
Anyhow, my predictions of the week:
WOW .. IMO .. 4 powerful singers .. excellent theme .. anyone's week
#3 - Taylor . right in line with his HOME-RUN swing .. deep left-center field ... Jail House Rock - MAYBE ???
#2T - Chris . could be one of his best weeks .. pick a song !!!
#2T - Elliott - Can't Help Falling In Love .. excellent melody
#1 - Katharine . Burnin' Love would suit her style just fine
.. maybe that's what I would like to see. Elliott doesn't have the stage presence/personality/flair like some of the others .. if he can show any of that this week, he'll survive.
Reality Rankings:
1 - Katharine
2 - Chris

I loved both of Chris' choices and I think he did them with a style of his own and not just an Elvis impersonation.
Taylor really rocked with Jailhouse Rock, but it reminded me more of a broadway tribute to Elivs than a true American Idol.
I thought Katharine did a great job on Hound Dog/All Shook Up. Great combination and I enjoyed it. Her second selection didn't impress me but I still thing she's going to go to the final three.
Elliot's voice just doesn't have the power of the others. I think he's gone.

Loved both of Chris' songs.
Taylor did an amazing job on In the Ghetto.
Elliot - I thought for sure he would be the one to go this week, but after tonight I am pretty sure I was wrong. He was amazing. For once (especially on the second song) I didn't see him as a poser, just as a guy with a great voice. Loved both songs. He definately came out swinging tonight.
Kat - hate to say it, but tonight wasn't her night. I think she's gone.

Performance rankings for last night:
#1T - Elliott .... NAILED IT !!! ... on both songs
#1T - Chris .... IMO - last night was the best I've ever heard him do
#3 - Taylor ... based on last nights performance, no comparison to Elliott or Chris ... loved his Jailhouse Rock
#4 - Katharine ... really a poor choice of songs, would've love to have heard her do Burnin' Love - Wynona did an excellent rendition on Lilo and Stitch

Chris was by far the best. The judges are just getting old and tired with their lame comments.
That Foster dood that was a couple weeks back would be an awesome judge.
Anyway rankings and comments - Goodbye Elliot!
1. Chris - The only person that is left that can go out and record a hit album IMO it's him. He has had 1 bad song that I can remember in the entire competition.
2. Katherine - I didn't agree with Simon at all. I like her a lot and I thought considering she was the only female she did a great job.
3. Taylor - Fun taylor style stuff. I thought he did good enough to stay around.
4. Elliot - WTH were the judges thinking? Are they just trying to save him and get Taylor out? I was bored and unimpressed with his choice and music. He has absolutely no energy on stage.
With that said
BOTTOM 2 = Katherine and Elliot and I want elliot to go but I am concerned about Kat.

Elliot By Far The Best!!!
I seem to be in the minority on this board, but I absolutely was UNIMPRESSED with Chris yet again last night. Boring, boring, boring. And again he took his voice to that warbly weird rock vibrato place that I can't stand. It reminds me of the soundtrack to the old Hobbit cartoon. Drives me nuts. So here goes...
Chris-First song boring and warbly. 2nd song-those lyrics are risque and sexy and he did nothing with them but sing them. It was completely forgettable for me.
Taylor-Nailed them both. It comes easily for him. He is strong and confident and he did great. In The Ghetto was beautiful.
Kat-HORRIBLE. Oh my God. Forgot her words, lost her breath, screached and screamed her way through most of the first. 2nd-Who cares. Song is done to death and she did nothing different with it. In fact completely ruined the end of the song and was off pitch quite a bit.
Elliot-By far the best singer in the group. He has never sung a wrong note, nor made a bad choice. He has such a command of his voice and knows his limitations which are not many. He looked fabulous and was by far the best one last night. I believe he deserves to win this competition. He has always sung brilliantlty, he has pushed himself, and he has succeeded. Only one that comes close to him vocally is Taylor.
Final 2 should be Elliott and Taylor.
who knows though.

All I got to say is that's messed up. Chris should have never been booted off. Katharyn should have been the one to go since she stumbled with the lyrics in the first song.
By the way, why is this called a "live" show since the east knows the answer before we see it here on the west. Therefore, its not really live.

I'm Shocked!!!
I did not think that Chris was the best, but he certainly did not deserve to go home tonight. That honor should have gone to Kat McPhee. For three weeks in a row she has been sub-par at best. Last night she actually forgot the lyrics to a song. You can not do that at this point in the competition.

Don't they have an option to giv him a contract for up to 3 years? They know Chris = $$$.
For me, Taylor is the only American Idol contastant ever that I voted for and would buy a CD. I guess my horse is still in the running

Good thing about this season is that top 5 is so diverse and talanted each in their own way. In my opinion there are really no losers this year. Sure one will be crowned THE IDOL, but all of them have made it.
