who do YOU want to win American Idol & who do you THINK will win?

Kelly should (and probably will) go home tonight.\n\nElliott & Katherine should win, if it was TRULY a singing contest. . . unfortunately, it's largely a popularity contest, so Chris will probably win with the Tiger Beat vote.

I like Kat.  I thought she and Chris would be in the top two.  It's been hard for the last few weeks, because I like all the contestants at this point. \n\nI think Taylor will do well at whatever he does.  He's already got performing experience.  Kat or Elliot would benefit most from winning in the sense that they could use the polishing, I guess.  Kat would be even more amazing if she had Taylor's confidence and showmanship.  He's got about 10 years on her, though. For her age and experience, I think she's the best - has the most potential.  Also, the best voice.

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

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.

I definitely want Elliot Yamin to win. I want him to win because he is the perfect example of a well rounded singer and his style is so unique. This is not America's Next Top Model...or Top Dancer. It is a singing competition and he does a really good job at it.

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

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.....

This week's installment aired on Tuesday night, when Taylor Hicks, Katherine McPhee, and Elliot Yamin each performed three songs.\n\nOn Wednesday night it was revealed that Elliot Yamin was eliminated. \n\nThey did a fancy new thing where they showed that each of the three received votes around 33%. It was only a matter of .20% or so separating the frontrunner from Elliot.\n\nOn Wednesday next week the winner of American Idol Season 5 should be reviled. Oops, I meant "revealed." Or maybe I did mean "reviled." I wanted Chris Daughtry to win...

I hope it's McPhee... she didn't earn a spot based on last night and I think Yamin out sang her... \n\nI hope Taylor wins, but tonight... I really honestly think McPhee deserves to go... her first song was horrible... the pace was bad, the lyrics were bad, her timing was bad... she was just really off...\n\nI just hope she doesn't get to stay cause she's cute... this show needs to be based mostly on talent and although she has that in abundance, she isn't continuing to improve like the other performers.  I think she has actually been off for the last several shows.

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!!!

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.

Here's my top three for American Idol this year:\n1)Elliott because he can sing well and yet he is just homely enough to get sympathy votes and make us feel good that we could advance his career and be the ones to discover his talent.\n2)Katherine because she is talented and beautiful and last night's being in the bottom three will surely humble her from being too prideful.\n3)Mandisa because she already had a career before she became a contestant.  She can sing with great power and is a beautiful role model.\n\nBucky and Kellie can only sing one way and they are not that good.  Randy will always be saying to them, "Dude for me that was just ariiight."  \n\nPaula loves to stand and dance any time she can.  She has the hots for Ace but tries to be encouraging to everyone who can entertain, like Taylor.

i really don't know now...i really wanted Chris to win (he's from around these parts), so now that he's off, I don't really care who wins. it'll probably be Katherine, though. i can't imagine either of the other two winning...although, i like Taylor more than Elliot.

Chris Daughtry will probably win.\n\nParis........Cute as could be! Most of the time she sounds nasal just like Fantasia, and I couldn't stand to listen to Fantasia sing! Paris is sweet though, but picks songs that are too old for her age. Could be in the top 3.\n\nTaylor..........Interesting voice, but I don't see America picking him as the next idol. He twitches and squirms too much! He seems very nice though. I kinda like his gray hair!\n\nKatherine.........Fairly nice voice, but BAD song choices lately! She dresses strangely and is easily forgettable. Right after she finishes singing, I can't remember her performance. Not much personality.\n\nElliot..........Good voice, but I can't stand to watch him sing! He is also forgettable for me. Not much personality. I don't think America will pick him as the next American Idol.\n\n\nKellie........Not a bad voice, and I think she could end up in the top 3, but I don't think she will win. I doubt America will pick 2 country singers in a row. A lot of personality and she is cute.\n\n\nBucky.......Interesting voice, but I don't think he will win. His voice needs more work and so does his look. I like his personality, but I don't think it is the kind that will make him the next American Idol. \n\n\nAce........Mediocre voice.........some bad song choices. Adorable as all get out. Sexy in a sweet way. Not so much personality though. Could be in the top 3. But I don't think he will win. \n\nChris...........Great voice, great song choices, versatile, great personality, good looking in a "bad boy" sort of way. Definitely sexy! Has all the right stuff for being the next American Idol. \n\nIt's time for a male to win anyway. There have been more female winners than men. I am pretty sure Chris is going to take it all.

Taylor will win! Because of the entertainment part. But Katherine obviously has a star voice. Taylor will win! Elliots fans will turn to Taylor now. Taylor will win! Oh Yeah! Did I mention Taylor will win!

Either Taylor or Katherine, but I think Katherine is going to win because she's much better than Taylor, althought he is good too!
