Elliott has a pretty good voice, but there is something I feel he is lacking.  I find him to be kind of boring.  I am a fan of Taylors.  I personally think he is the best.  I love his voice & his energy.  He's unique!  Plus I love the fact that he plays the harmonica (plays it very well!)  Just my opinion!

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.

new cd December 12, 2007\n\nLife after Idol\n Hicks played harmonica on every date of the American Idols Live! tourHicks signed a recording contract with Arista Records in conjunction with 19 Recordings Unlimited, the label managed by AI creator Simon Fuller, in May 2006. Hicks's debut single "Do I Make You Proud" debuted on the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and was subsequently certified gold by the RIAA.\n\nHicks made guest appearances in concerts by Snoop Dogg, the Allman Brothers, Robert Randolph and the Family Band, Widespread Panic, and Willie Nelson. Hicks also joined his fellow Top 10 Idol finalists on the American Idols LIVE! Tour which ran from July-September. The members of the former Taylor Hicks Band regrouped as the Little Memphis Blues Orchestra and shadowed the Idols' tour route, with Hicks occasionally appearing as a "special guest" when circumstances permitted, and was even accompanied at times by the other Idols, such as Yamin, McPhee, Chris Daughtry, Ace Young, and Bucky Covington.\n\nIn August, it was announced that Hicks received a $750,000 (USD) deal to write a memoir of his life, which is expected to be released in spring 2007 by Random House. [23] The book will be ghostwritten by Rolling Stone writer David Wild. In the same month, Hicks's lawyers sued a producer with whom he worked in Nashville in 2001 for redistributing copyrighted songs from 1997 without permission. The charges were dropped when the masters were handed over to Hicks.[24]\n\n\n[edit] 2006-2007: Taylor Hicks\nStudio recording sessions ran in Los Angeles between October and November, taking six weeks in total. [25] At the same time, videos of Hicks's rehearsals started to be released weekly on Rehearsals.com, as part of promotion for his upcoming album with Arista. The eponymous major label debut Taylor Hicks suffered release date delays until the December 12 date was set.

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.

Well, Katherine McPhee wasn't an American Idol (remember, Taylor Hicks won).  Out of Carrie and Kelly, I GREATLY prefer Kelly Clarkson- Kelly sings good music while Carrie sings country garbage.

Taylor should win, but you never know!

Because although he has a great voice, it's too generic. A lot of male singers sound JUST like him. Same goes for a lot of the past contestants as well. Taylor however, is unique, and has a lot of passion for what he's doing....that shines through, and that's why, personally, I think he'll win.

Chris can sing anything he wants.  His voice is that pure.  I believe he will be the next AI and he could be the front-man for almost anyone after he wins.\n\nI love Queen!  There was a lot of collateral damage done to those songs tonight.  Lets face it....Freddy Mercury was sensational.  Everyone was in his shadow tonight.

When Chris was booted, my whole family swore we were through with the show for what's left of the season.  Being creatures of habit that we are, we sat through the program (albeit we DVR'd it for about 20 minutes before we started it so we could fast forward Elliot Yamin's songs.)  Katharine and Taylor are good, but not compared to Chris.  Like someone already said, though, he'll do fine, maybe even pick up with Fuel.

Number 5.  Taylor Hicks reminds me of my uncle, when he gets drunk.  He's cool, but funny.  And he's really not as old as he looks.
