I liked both, they are about the only American Idol contestants I ever thought had any talent (although Anwar was ok too... Maybe it was the long-hair thing?) At first I preferred Bo but Constantine won me over with his version of Bohemian Rhapsody. He is the ONLY person other than Freddy Mercury who I've heard who has been able to sing it without completely butchering it, it was amazing. After that I have been a huge Constantine fan (I still like Bo though). I didn't get over it for ages when he got booted out in favor that no talent arsehead Scott, HOW could that have happened? It's just wrong!!

I HONESTLY THINK THAT THIS SHOW, JUST MIGHT BE RIGGED! Because last nights show...Kathrine was the one that was supposed to go, but right at the last minute, the announcer was told to pick CHRIS. It was so very obvious. How "CRUEL"and How very "HOUND-DOG-GISH"! Wouldn't you all agree? I am very "MAD" about how they tricked CHRIS. He is very, very, very good! And he did not deserve that at all. "BOO.....AMERICAN IDOL"!!!! BY THE WAY, ELLIOTT? well what can I say....YOU ARE! ALWAYS HAVE BEEN! AND WILL BE ....THE NEXT AMERICA'S FANTASTIC, GLORIOUS VOICE, "GOD" LOVING IDOL...AMEN!!! AND MAY GOD BLESS AND BE WITH EACH AND EVERYONE ONE OF YOU!  GOOD LUCK!

As good as they both were, i think Taylor will be our next American Idol. Katherine is a great performer, but Taylor is an entertainer! I've not seen an entertainer like Taylor since Elvis Presley! With their own unique styles.. Am I the only one who sees a remarkable resemblance in Taylor and Elvis??  That should tell us all how great his potential in show business could be...  I just hope he handles it better than Elvis did in his later years...  Go Taylor...  SOUL PATROL!!!

I definitely do believe Ace has a good chance. He's shown mostly solid performances thus far, though I do think he needs to pick up the pace and find a song that better suits his voice just a bit from now on. And he definitely has what Simon called the "X-Factor"...the way to charm the audience and work them into his favor. That's very important in this kind of competition...if you have a fantastic voice and don't connect with the audience, it doesn't make much difference. But if you have a decent voice and an amazing connection with the audience, it'll probably have a lot more impact.

It was very shocking, however he did not have his best night.  Kat should have been booted, hoever she is too damn FINE!  So the votes went to her hot and sext look instead of Chris.  Elliot and Taylor have their fanbase.  It is a major top 3.  Major.  There is no way to know who will win.  I pick Elliot simply because he is the best singer.  Taylor however is the best performer, and Katherine sings the best for a female this year and I think she may be better than Carrie Underwood from last year.  It will be a thriller.....

I do like to watch American Idol, but was a little disappointed with last season.  I thought that Constantine shouldn't have been sent home when he was.  There was no way that Scott Savol was better than him.  Anyway, that was last year.  This year I think it's going to be the guys turn to win... I really like Taylor Hicks and Chris Daughtry and of course Ace.  :)  It would be nice to see Taylor or Chris win; they aren't the "sterotypical" idols the judges and America seem to be looking for.

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.

The Final 2 get contracts from the show, but a lot of times, others have gotten record deals as well. Remember Constantine? He is currently at work on an album. I would rather lose and get an album, because the people who get contracts with the Fox people are contractually binded for 4 years or something and their albums are usually way commercialized. If you got your own deal with some other label, you would have more artistic freedom.

I loved the first Season of American Idol, but after that my affection started to dwindle. Kelly Clarkson will always remain the best thing to come out of that show, in my view none of the other "idols" have been able to top her. AI is just a waste of a TV spot right now. So to answer your question, I really don't know what is so great about American Idol now.

Chris sang "Hemorrhage (in my hands)" by Fuel.  I hope Chris will be the next American Idol.

Go Chris!  Nobody else is even worth voting for.  I reall ylike Taylor, but who would actualy go out and buy an album.  Chris (as long as he doesnt sell out like Bo Bice) will make an awesome album worthy of purchase.

My guess is that the American Idol voting system was largely to blame.  Somebody calling for Chris couldn't do so if they line was busy.  This is probably the biggest flaw in the voting system and has probably been responsible on more than one occassion for the elimination of good singers.  Apparently if you're on Idol, you not only have to be a good singer, you have to hope that your fans can actually have a chance to vote :S.

I absolutely love "Before he Cheats!" That pretty much discribes me from years ago, when my ex husband cheated on me. Needless to say, he didn't stay around long!! LOL! I also love the song "Inside your heaven"...It's definately a song that was meant to pull at your heartstrings! She is just awesome anyway! I'm so glad she won last seasons American Idol. I really liked Bo too, and wished both could win, and in a sense they did. Bo has a recording contract too.

I couldn't agree Any more, laughing machine. I think that Chris is amazing. Mandisa has that gospel-like voice. Heck I'm listing to both of them on American idol's website Right now.  Mandisa left early but she's better  than this year's winner, Taylor. Kat's not in the same league as Chris or mandisa. I think people are dumb that they're glad Taylor Won! When Chris was eliminated I wanted Elliott to win.

I say that they are judging more on the looks...America's votes I mean. David's (Radford) a crooner, not a lot of people like crooners, so why's he still on? It's just like in Season 3 (sorry, got to meantion this one part), after Jenifer Hudson left, John Stevens said "it should've been me." and he's a crooner as well as David. America's becoming more and more shallow nowadays...so when the American Idol gets crowned to a person with good looks, but a bad singing talent, you'll know why

I totally agree with browneyedmaiden on the more-than-one american idol thing...but I have to say Chris Daughtry has the most chances of winning...but I'm still rooting for David to stay on the show tonight! :P
