Chris has already gotten an offer from Fuel, he has not accepted yet but I bet he will.\n\nBoth Tommy Mottola and Clive Davis pretty much said on Idol when they were on that they want to sign Katharine.\nShe could jump to a Kally Clarkson status.  And she should, shes amazing.\n\nI hope Elliott gets something bc hes so amazingly talented and also such a likeable sweet guy.\n\nI think Mandisa will also definitely get something out of this show, shes amazing.  Barry Manilow said to her when he was working with her "hey if this doesnt work out, I would hire you."\n\nKellie Pickler I think will be famous but not as a singer, E! will hire her and use her for her stupid personality to be some host of some E! show, but the whole premise will be Kellie looking stupid.\n\nAce I think will get something bc of his looks (he is totally cute)\n\nTaylor will get the Idol contract and I dont think he will become the next Kelly Clarkson, bc he is the type of guy who is great live bc of his onstage persona but not necessarily someone who you would buy his CD and not see the live antics.

Sometimes she lip syncs and sometimes she doesnt. Mostly all singers (even Disney channel stars) lip sync bc when they are dancing its hard to keep that steady voice going. Would you rather pay to hear her sound terrible or pay to hear good music (even though its computerized) and a least see her?

I personally have been a fan of Taylor Hicks since way back.He hasnt changed who he is,and Katherine(no offense to any katherine fans) is using her looks too much.Shes went from sweet and nice to kind of,sleezy.I mean,i liked her at first she was very talented and she still is.Her actions just proves she is changing it up too much,just to sway votes and win.Taylor himself hasnt changed.His auditions each week are consistant and are getting better.He isnt like any previous idol winner or contestant and i believe he deserves to win.We shall see who wins,good luck to them both!

I actually really liked Taylor, and liked him right from the early audition stage.  But then, I like soul.  So obviously I'm going to back a singer that sings something I like listening to.  Do I Make You Proud is diabolical though (but then, aren't all the original songs they give the winners) \n\nI also really like Chris, and think he is amazingly talented.  The trouble with Chris though, was that he was unwilling to compromise to appeal to a bigger audience.  Even when he was doing bands that a lot of people might know (like Creed for example) he picked more obscure tracks, instead of big hits.  Though I think it's very commendable to be true to yourself, you have to look at your forum.  You can't expect to win a show where the general public votes for you, if you're not willing to appeal to them.  If his attitude was "this is me, this is what I do, I'm not going to even bend" then he was following the wrong path to success.  I hope he does well in the future though.  \n\nI think Elliott is really talented, though I hate that style of music.  With the success of people like Michael Buble though, there's a lot of commercial success to have there.  He should do well. \n\nI always like Ace too.  I would have really liked to hear him do a Jamiroqui track.  I think he'd be very suited to it.\n\nI hated, could not stand, cringed every time she opened her mouth, Katharine.  Her moment of the season was standing there with her fake smile plastered on congratulating Taylor, as far as I'm concerned.

I don't think so...Kat is definetly a beautiful girl, but she has a much better voice than any of the other girls...Taylor was always considered a long shot, not because of his so-so voice, but he appeared to look older than what we would call an American Idol...if you see any of the shows he has been on since winning, he really doesn't have that great of range with his singing, all his songs sound alike...and he certainly has no rhythm...he won because of all the people who claimed that Kat would win solely on her looks, and because he really is a home-town boy....as it turns out, Kat has a better chance for success, as she is not tied down to the AI contract that goes with the title, and therefore has more freedom to pick and choose her projects....

I definitely believe it's rigged. Please read this for the evidence and why I think this..I am 100% convinced it is rigged.\n\nAlso there were similar problems with the phone lines last year.\n\nIn fact, I copied all the evidence that slipped through on last year's website and sent it to Scott Savol and his family who I meet. \n\nAlthough I don't remember it all, one thing was the night before the final..(the day the last two finalist sang) they showed a clip that summarized the show..then they briefly flashed all the final 12..they were in order from the first voted off to the last and Bo was the 11th flashed and Kerry (sp?) Underwood the last night before "we" voted showing someone at idol knew she would win..\n\nThey did the same thing on a previous show..had them all sitting next to each other (I think it was week 5 or 6 ) and they had them all in order of them when they were voted off..this showed Scott leaving in the week he eventually left in (in fact all of them) as the 5th place (7th voted off) before he was voted off and right after what Simon said was his best week..again someone knew..several others were kept after their worse week or left after their best week and comments---though others were much worse that particular week. \n\nThe albums in the last 4 seasons released a list of songs before they were voted off and the songs on the preview list had the singers listed in the order they subsequently were voted off (although they changed the song order last season in some of the cds after it was discussed on line..(they have changed the online website to minimize this happening again by changing the format).\n\nThey banned people reopeatedly for listing information and deleted their threads and/or words...even the words fixed are banned from the site. I personally went way back into the threads once and found a thread with a list of the songs put out three weeks previously..it had them in the order that they were subsequently voted out..Anthony then Scott etc. I was stunned and I answered the old thread "OMG--look at the date this was posted. and it shows people being voted off in the exact order they eventually were three weeks before it happened. This bumped the post to the top and it was on they..within a few minutes (the moderator apparently read it) the entire thread was gone (but luckily I had copied it and others and sent them all to \nScott Savol) and I was banned from the site. Each time I tried to get on and post evidence, they promptly banned me even though I used different names and email addresses. It was the evidence they didn't want posted as it would cut into their profits if people knew the show was fake.\n\nCarrie was also prominently feautured in the CD (which came out before te show was over)as one of the few people wearing colored clothes in the left corner (we read left to right)...again suggesting someone knew she'd win and they wanted er prominently featured.\n\nAlso an online paper in England honoring one of the producers with an award..mentioned in te text..American's idols winner Carrie Underwood a full 2 days before she was the winner. It turned out the reporter messed up and thre article was not supposed to be printed until after the final results were announced. Several people printed the link to this paper with the paper's date verified on it and I also copied this and sent to Scott. I hope he shared it with his friends on idol during or after the tour.\n\nI think there was more stuff as well and it all convinced me beyond a shadow of a doubtthat American idol is rigged..\n\nI never waste time calling now (and they are stealing money with their deal with cinular wireless) when people pay to vote with text messaging if it is rigged. \n\nI vowed no matter how much I like a singer or singers I will never buy a cd if the person is under contract with American Idol and if idol also benefits. I think the show--like fox's other reality shows are

It's sad when anyone from the top five go home cause they're all so good in their own ways.  I wouldn't feel too sorry about Elliot going home cause I'm sure he'll get a record deal.  Anyway, the winner of these types of shows only has success for a short while and most of the time it's the losers who actually do better (excluding Kelly of course).

Hi I am a Czech. What time did you go there? If it was recently they have a new "Czech Idol" Aneta Langerova, what did she look like, what did she sing about? Can you remember anything? Tune...\nOr maybe Lucie Bila, Ilona Csakova, Helena Vondrackova, Iveta Bartosova...give me more clues!

I personally would have preferred Chris Daughtry to be the American Idol winner, but when it was down to Taylor and Katherine, I have to admit I wanted Taylor to ultimately win!  \n\nHe has charisma and a unique singing style that will help him establish himself in the pop industry. He definitely has his own sound, and you'd know who it is when you hear him singing.

I always think they're hard on her because they know she has the most talent of any of them.  I hope she wins, but I do find her kind of frustrating.  With those pipes, she should be dazzling every time she sings, so when she isn't I find her disappointing.  I think that's what the judges experience as well; she underachieves for her talent sometimes and they nail her excessively for it.

American Idol says a lot about modern American culture; only here in this day and age would we choose our celebrities from a panel of game show contestants.\n\ngod help us all

Well spell his name correctly to begin with LOL! Simon Cowell.  We in the States think of him as kind of an ass because he says what he wants on "American Idol" while everyone is pussyfooting around. But in the UK he's extremely successful (well for that matter, he is now extremely successful here too!)He's got a couple of TV shows and a record label.

Taylor would be great in concert, BUT no one would buy his CD. I rather buy Kat's CD. \n\n\nP.S. The winner AND the runner-up both get recording contacts. The winner gets the title American Idol.

2 hours, my achin' butt. Waaay too long. An hour is fine. 2 songs apiece and the usual garbage from the judges. \n\n30 is a bit short. But I'd take 30 over 2 hours. \n\nWho's going to win? We voted for Kat, but it looked like the judges wanted to throw it to Taylor. Kat's single song was not in her range and was eminently forgettable as music. Grrr. (A Kat fan, here, obviously.)

No one has won yet. The final results show is in a few more hours. (see http://www.americanidol.com/ for the hour)\nI expect Taylor to win, based on last night's performance.\n\nI think that the show is partially rigged: they do carefully select contestants for amusement value (intersting life story, personality) rather than talent in the first few rounds. \n\nI think that the final rounds are not rigged, as they depend upon our votes.\n\n....a few hours later....\nTaylor won!!!!
