Who is your favorite winner of american idol? Why?

Kelly, because she has staying power. Look how long its been, and she's still big. plus, she was the first. \n\nCarrie has a beautiful voice, but I'm not a fan of her music.

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 would love to see Elliot win also.  He is so humble.  I think though that Taylor will win now that Chris is gone.  People like Taylor even if he does not have the most talent.

Elvis Presley..My entire family are Elvis fans. My niece's name is even Priscilla Presley. He is definitely the American Idol in my eyes and many others I am sure

Well, I think Paris is awesome..but Elliot is from my town, so I am voting for him. Taylor is fantastic as well.

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

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

Personally, I don't think he should have won...but he did and we'll just have to see if America voted correctly...Katherine was my favorite from the very beginning, but she too, will make out very well, it doesn't really matter who gets the title, except to the contestants, as you know, Clay Aiken is doing much better than Reuben...the only thing I will say is this...they should limit the times callers can vote, it has turned into more of a popularity contest than who is actually the better singer...

I think it will be either her or Chris. I am leaning towards Chris because I like a little hard rock. But she is very beautiful and has a really good voice, and she seems to be improving all the time. I also like Taylor, but he would be third for me.

1. Elliot...I think he has a really great voice\n\n2. Taylor...good voice, very original, but I can't stand to watch him sing.  His face makes him look like he's in pain when he hits the high notes and his dancing is just...well...bad.\n\n3. Katherine...her singing is just so average and not idol worthy.  Paris was much better then her.  I haven't heard one song by Kat that I can actually say I like\n\nChris was my fav...I miss him

I loved Chris, as most of America did, and thought he was guaranteed the win.  At this point, I really hope Taylor wins.  Katherine is an ok singer most of the time, but she is very inconsistent in her performances.  My friends at the karaoke pub usually do as well as she does, depending on how much they've had to drink:)  However, America is so wrapped up in looks and the "total package" that I think Kat will win because she looks the part.

CHRIS 4 SURE.HE ROCKED.THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE HE SANG IN PERFECT KEY,ENTERTAINED YOU WHILE HE WAS SINGING SO YOU WOULDNT GET BORED,PICKED GREAT SONGS,AND ALSO GAVE IT HIS BEST.HE TRIED AS HARD AS HE COULD,IN MY OPINION MORE THAN ANY 1 ELSE IN THE COMPETITION THIS YEAR AND IN THE PAST.SO I THINK HE SHOULD OF WON,HE WAS GREAT,AND STILL LOSS SO I DONT KNOW WHATS UP WITH THE VOTERS.CHRIS ALL THE WAY.

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!

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 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.
