WHAAAT? Chris left American idol? Geez, no. I am crazy bout that guy. he really has great talent. Am not one for hard core rock, but i have to give it to the guy, he really knows his stuff. Plus, he seems to be able to diversify if he puts his mind to it.\nHe shall be missed. But i guarantee we havent seen nor heard the last of him.

Because this competition is fixed. There's no reason that Chris should have gone home when Katherine forgot her lyrics. How the hell else could something like that happen unless the show is fixed? I agree, Chris Daughtry was my favourite too. I was hoping it would be between him and Taylor Hicks. I was SURE that either Elliot Yamin, or Katherine McPhee was going to go home last night. Now that Chris is gone I'm not sure I even want to watch it anymore. He was set up. \n\nC'mon think about it. The show before last was an obvious example of how corrupt this competition is...when Paula CRIED for Elliot, and yet Katherine was DOGGED by all 3 judges when she did REALLY WELL that night, and didn't get recognition till the next day AFTER votes were made. That's just ludicrous! I don't think I'll be watching anymore seasons of this show in the future.

This was the first time I had an opinion on American Idol. I generally can't stand the show, but this year, I was just hoping for Chris to win. Grr.\n\nOh well, I'm over it.

Chris will win for three reasons.  Two are respectable and one is ethically controversial this season.  Reason one, he is the overall best performer.  Two, he is obviously getting the hightest number of votes..which brings us to number THREE..The folks at FOX dig him and they couldn't be more obvious about it.  Do you think it mere coincidence that he always has the best posistion in the line up for each weekly performance?  Heck no..He was the last performer last Tuesday, because FOX knew that viewers would sit thought the entire two hour show just to see the "Christer" belt out another great song.  Still don't think the big heads at FOX love him more than the others? Well consider this.  Where was Little Kevin's Big thousand dollar fog and light show on his big musical number? LOL..Get real..Chris's number looked like the encore at a Genesis concert!  I won't even mention his placement in the whole "All I Want" campsite parody from Toad the Wet Sprocket.  However, it should be noted that I like him and am glad that things are going so..uh..well for him!

It's true.....and I think he'd do a great job.  I've seen Fuel twice and I would see them again with Chris as the singer.  Here's a story I found about it......\n\nLOS ANGELES -- "American Idol" doesn't want Chris Daughtry, but Fuel does.\n\nFuel went on "Extra" Thursday to make the offer to Daughtry to take over vocal duties.\n\nFuel has been without a singer since Brett Scallions left in February.\n\nThey've been holding auditions on their own, but they paid attention when Daughtry did their song "Hemorrhage" on the March 1 edition of "American Idol." \n \nGuitarist Carl Bell told "Extra," "Chris, if you're watching, we've talked about this before, if you wanna entertain it again, we'll entertain it again and go!"\n\nBell promises Daughtry he won't have to do any Elvis songs.\n\nThere's no response from Daughtry, but he has said he's still entertaining all offers.\n\nDaughtry Fans Overconfident?\n\nEven Daughtry was believing the hype that he was going to win "American Idol."\n\nDaughtry said he was shocked to get voted off because so many people had picked him to win.\n\nHis theory for why he was booted is that his fans got overconfident and didn't vote as often.\n\nHe said hearing the news was "a gut-wrenching moment" and he wasn't expecting it, even a little bit.\n\nOnce again, the conspiracy theories are raging.\n\nTracey Adams, a family friend of Daughtry's, said some fans around his hometown are afraid their votes were mistakenly credited to another contestant.\n\nAdams said they'd get another contestant's voice thanking them for the call instead of Daughtry's

In terms of the way he decided, Simon was right, Eton Road can improve significantly (Especially if Anthony knocks off all this out of tune metzo soprano rubbish, he doesn't need to, he has a lovely voice), and though performance based Robert was faultless, he has probably reached the top of his game.\n\nHowever, IMO neither should have been in the bottom two, it should have been Ray and The McDonald Brothers...\n\nI love Ray, but his performance tonight was poor, he was shouting rather than singing. The McDonald Brothers were simply awful, I would rather listen to the version of that song sang by Bill Nighy in Love Actually.\n\nWhat is wrong with you Scottish (bit of a generalisation there and I apologise to those who did not vote for them) but are you all tone deaf? I know Simon is rude about them and that can make someone proud of their heritage, indignant, but those boys are exactly what they are "Wedding Singers" and will never be anything more.. There voices are fair but they have no charisma, at least Ray has oodles of that.\n\nI would love to see the results of the phone votes published, and I would hate to have the phone bills in the next quarter of those dedicated few that just keep on voting to keep the McDonalds in.\n\nI really don't think this will be the last we see of Robert, he has an amazing voice and is a fantastic performer. \n\nOnce again, apologies for my generalisations about the Scottish, I just can't believe we are going to be put through yet another week of the McDonalds whining.

I don't know if it was Season 2 or not, but Mario Vasquez quit the show (rumor had it that he didnt want to get tied down with the American Idol contract if he won)

I just heard that Chris has been offered the lead singing position of the band Fuel. I don't know if he'll take it or not, he probably has to wait and finish his Amercan Idol responsibilities.

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.

Chris is gone. But you know he will get a recording contract, so I don't really feel sorry for him. He got the exposure he needed. You know, the decision is based on the public votes, so evidently more people voted for the others...   that's the way it works. Tayor and Elliott really cranked it up this week. ....

chris did get an offer for lead singer for fuel but i've heard different stories regarding this-i heard he wasn't going to accept it because it's not a "christian" band and i've also heard he can't accept anything until idol is over but i'll anxiously be waiting for his decision (hoping he'll go with fuel)

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:)

Simon Cowell?  Most people don't know it, but that guy has made at least half a billion dollars to date from American Idol.  He exploits every single contestant on that show that he feels is worthy by forcing them to sign with his recording company (19 Ent.) when they agree to appear on American Idol.\n\nThis means that every single contestant that has ever been on American Idol and has released a solo CD has done so under 19 Ent.  As you can imagine, Simon keeps most of the profits from those sales and gives the artists only a fraction of what they would be making if they were signed to another label.  Simon feels that he's justified because in his eyes, those contestants would be nothing without American Idol (which he created).\n\nFortunately, at least one contestant slithered out of Simon's reach (Mario Vazquez).  Mario quit while he was one of the finalists to win the competition so that he wouldn't be forced to sign with Simon and 19 Ent.  By that time, Mario had already built up a strong fan base and had production companies sending him offers, so he made out okay.\n\nI can't imagine what it would take for Simon to release Kelly Clarkson from her contract with him any time soon, as she has been the most successful of any of the contestants.

Wow, that's exactly what I was thinking. American Idol has to be rigged. Chris has too many fans. Look how many people are mad. He was the best one there. Katherine should have gone. I'm really upset. I hope he gets some kind of record deal anyway. He was amazing.
