Who do you vote for and think will make an album first on American Idol?

Chris. Even Randy & Simon told him he's totally ready for an album since the Top 16 (when he sang hemorrhage).

I think Chris should win. He has the talent, passion, and vision to have a great career. Ace will be around a little longer because too many women find him hot! (something I can't see) I'm sad Mandisa got voted off but I understand why...religion and AI don't go together. Paris is too young and is to abnormal for the whole public scene. Taylor is WAY to Taylor to mode into the 'pop idol' form. Katherine...only one I'm not sure about. I think she sings well but she has to have more fire I think. Kelly, Bucky and Elliot...there time is up! Why can't we vote all three at a time.\n\nOh and Bucky's only around because of this site that votes for the worse singers on the show. They pride themsevles on keeping the weak person on to piss others off. Even though they 'say' they picked Kelly to vote for...it seems most of them want to see Bucky around.

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 would have voted for Carrie.  She is a fresh face in country music, and she loves it.  She is genuin.  All of the others have been around for awhile.  Im proud of Carrie, being a native Oklahoman myself.

My top 3 faves are McPhee, Pickler and Chris -- it's tough to predict the actual winner.  I think if McPhee can build a bigger fan base, she could have a good shot.  I think both Pickler and Chris are very one sided -- they only know how to sing one type of music -- they haven't shown much diversity.  McPhee's got the look and the talent.  It's obvious the judges like her and I think she's growing on America.  They're making her out to be a very American girl with an ideal family upbringing - very positive spin.  I think Pickler's naivety is going to start to bug people - it's cute, but only for so long.  I like Chris, but like I said, he only sings rock songs.

Either Chris or Taylor.  Hopefully America won't blow this one.  It should be Taylor.  Chris is pretty good, but does he really expect America to buy that deep spiritual stare he does at the camera.  Taylor's strengths is his authenticy and passion for music.  Do you want someone who is trying to sell you something? Or do you want someone who is trying to show you something.

---mcphee is good (why are we all refering to her as mcphee now?) but i don't think she has showed enough enthusiasm when she performs to develope a steady fan base. also, she needs a new stylist. her choice of clothing is always appaling. \n---bucky has not a chance except for a miracle. after all, there are only so many people on votefortheworst.com. \n---ace is also a very long long shot. he got too wrapped up in himself and forgot this is a singing competition and not a modeling competition.\n---chris has a lot of talent, but he doesnt' really show much versatiliy, like simon said. maybe he will show us something different with country week... but he does have a strong fanbase and he is talented...\n---kellie pickler is good but i think she relies more on her cute southern girl more than her vocals to carry her through... i don't know if that will be enough tto get her all the way...\n---paris is good, but when you look at all the other talent i don't think she is the best, but they have been showcaseing her from the beginning so she has a bigger fan base than some people.\n---elliot can sing, he is a good performer most of the time, but i don't know if that many people really remember him. i don't think he has a solid shot at winning but he should get pretty far.\n---taylor has a great voice, a unique style, and a unique personality, which makes for a great contestant on american idol... i don't know if he really WANTS to be the next american idol, though, because then they will try and force him into becoming some poppy kelly clarkson thing...\n---mandisa is very talented singer, has a very pretty face, and she has a vrey likeable personality. i think she has a very good chance at winning. \nso, all things considered, it will be mandisa, chris, and taylor in the top three... don't know which one will win though... only time will tell.

I hope Taylor wins. I was so mad that Chris was booted off the show it should of been the girl she didn't sing worth a crap. \nPeople should vote on the singing not on the looks because its the singing that going to sell the records not the looks. \nChris really was a good singer you put a good band behind him and he well make some good records.

I would defenitily choose Kelly Clarkson for a number of reasons. First every song she released from her debut album went to the number one hit. Secondly she won american idol. And lastly in 2005 she had the #1 hit of the year and I believe if I'm not mistaken also the album of the year.

it's a close race, but i'd like to see chris daughtry win, but would be perfectly content if catherine m. or taylor hicks won too. i was really disappointed that they voted mendisa off so early on, she could really belt it out.

1. Taylor\n2/3. Chris\n2/3. Katherine\n4. Elliot\n\nTaylor is insane, and he has a huge fanbase, no question he will win. I think Chris is a good singer but Katherine has that plus she is so freakin hot

American Idol's 5th season is now down to it's second to last week and only three finalists are left! On Tuesday, for the first time this season, the finalists will sing three songs each: one of their choice, one chosen by the Judges and one chosen by legendary music producer Clive Davis. Don't miss a note Tuesday, starting at 8/7c. Then, come back Wednesday for a special 1-hour results show, featuring Clive Davis, starting at 9/8c. Only on FOX!\n\nI was SHOCKED also!  I thought the final 2 would come down to Chris & Taylor.  In the hopes of Taylor winning, but Chris is very good also (much better than Elliott or Kat in my opinion.)  Although Im pulling for Taylor I could not believe he was voted off especially befor Elliott!
