I just think Chris is the ideal person when it comes to American Idol. He has his priorities straight, and has shown not only to be a Role model on stage, but also in his personal life.

I think that he should be the next American Idol because he's good and at least he's going to bring a different music into the program. Although I prefer pop music but it could be a good change for rock music. Plus, his voice is good too...and his looks! He has the idol look!

As always, I totally agree with you on last night performances. Kellie surprised me (in a good way) I was worried that her cowgirl wouldn't let her rock it out, but I was happy to see that she did good. Katherine always good no matter what, I'm glad she changed her song. But I would like to see her do an upbeat one sooner or later. Elliott in my opinion did good last night too. Of course Chris was in his zone and rocked it! I ended up voting for all BUT ACE & BUCKY. Although some of my favorites did get more than one vote. I think Ace, Bucky and Paris will be in the bottom 3. I will be happy to see the results show and Ryan come out and say, "America voted and there was a tie for the two lowest votes. So we will be saying goodbye to BOTH contestants tonight. ACE & BUCKY!!!" YEAA! lol okay...okay..right? like that's gonna happen?! I'm sorry, but I just think those two have been on the show way longer than they deserve. "That's my story and I'm stickin' to it"

Didn't watch because I was working, but was shocked when my friend called and told me Chris went home. I thought for sure he was gonna win. In my opinion he was the only one with actual talent this season. I think he'll get picked up for a contract anyway.

I like Taylor Hicks and Paris Bennett. If either of them wins I will be happy. I like Chris too! I usually wait to vote until it gets to the final 12.

Yeah, hes pretty cool. He definitely has his own style, which is rare.  He'll definitely get plenty of offers even if Idol doesnt work out for him.

EWWWW i hate that guy! I think that Chris Daughtry should have won, that would have been the best American Idol this year, but oh well i think he will make it anyways and i dont think that Taylor will be that big.. his hair bothers me and he always acts drunk

Taylor, Because he's a great singer and he's awesome on the stage.Very Entertaining!Plus, he's not your typical looking American Idol!He's got grey hair,not always the best dressed and a little heavier. But thats what I love about him. He didn't change anything!I want him to show people you don't have to be that stereotype.Go Taylor!!!!!!!!

I think that Taylor has a legion of fans.  If you notice, he is the only one to have never been in the bottom 2 or 3. I personally like Chris' style of music better, but I find Taylor to be immensely entertaining.  It is going to get interesting...

If we're going on talent, then Elliott will win. If we're going on hotness and popularity, then Chris will, unfortunately.

Chris is THE American Idol.  Think about it.  His songs were perfect on EVERY show!  He has the looks, he's the Family Man (which America loves to see) and most important; he sings his butt off!  His eyes penetrate through you.  He acts like he's been doing this all his life!  He has every quality of a Star (except the big head) He's very down to earth.  I'm sorry for Chris.  But don't despair fans, He will be a mega star!  In answer to your question, maybe, maybe not.  I've lost the umph for the show!  I don't trust the scoring.  I could not get through last night for 2 hours! I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way.  Can't wait to be at the water cooler tomorrow morning:)

Chris was my favorite too, but you know, I bet he'll have a better record for not winning. His style is not "pop" and idol puts out pop records.  \n\nOf the two contestants in the finals, the guy who won is the better vocalist, he didn't hit sour notes or sound shrill like the girl often did.

I think Chris's time was coming.  He's an amazing singer and he'll have a career no matter what but I was getting a little bored with him.  It's the same every week.  I think Katharine will take the win this year!

This season of American Idol is crazy-- it's hard to tell who will be in the final two now that Chris is gone. Taylor is probably a lock, as much as I care for both Elliott and Katharine; I say probably because anything could happen. \n\nIt really depends. Consistency is a major major issue with both of these, Katharine especially. Performance-wise, Elliott has done nothing but grow in the past couple of weeks. Katharine, however, started off as a favorite to win it all, but now she's slipping for one reason or another.\n\nSpeaking of the fan-base, however, Elliott has a much smaller one. The male demographic will obviously vote for Katharine, and will vote even more depending on how skimpy her dress is Tuesday night. \n\nIt's a tossup right now, but I'd put my money (or yours, rather) on Taylor vs. Elliott in the finals. I believe the whispers among the fans that say that they'll be voting for Elliott and Taylor to avenge Chris' "wrongful departure". But you never know.

Chris was a good singer. I honestly thought he would win the whole thing but, he had one singing style and in the end I think it cost him. I would have bet that he would have went all the way especially over Katherine or Elliot.  We voted but, I guess enough people did not vote and just assumed he had it won.

CHRIS ROCKS!!!! I HOPE HE WINS!!!!!!!!! I REALLY WANT HIM TO WIN, REALLY BAD!!!!!\n\nNobody left tonight yet. I hope Taylor or Elliott goes. But it'll probably be Katharine.\n\nREMEMBER EVERYBODY READING THIS: VOTE FOR CHRIS AT LEAST ONCE!!! PLEASE!!!
