Does anyone else feel Taylor Hicks was a ridiculous choice for the next Idol?

Which one was Taylor Hicks? Was he the one with grey hair and played the harmonica? A bit older than most of the others? He didn't win, did he!? That's pretty piss poor if he did.

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!

No, American Idol is too intellectually challenging for him.  He might end up looking stupid.  Oh wait...

I think that Taylor has a legion of fans.  If you notice, he is the only one to have never been in the bottom 2 or 3. I personally like Chris' style of music better, but I find Taylor to be immensely entertaining.  It is going to get interesting...

I was shocked that the 2 favorites, Kat and Chris were both in the bottom two, let alone that Chris got voted off.  I thought that they were the 2 that best deserved to be in the finals: Chris because he was the best from the beginning and Kat because she had made the most progress, is at least close to Chris in talent now and she has the Idol look and personality.  Chris is more of a rocker and the fans tend to shy away from them a bit.  Chris did have the disadvantage of being one of 3 guys and Kat is the only gal.  Girl fans are so divided between all the guys that it was just a matter of numbers as to the fact a guy would go this week.  I thought it was a poor choice of themes at this stage of the game to have an Elvis theme.  This was Taylor's forte and was very unfair to Kat especially, but also to Chris.  Elliot really stepped up though and he has also improved quite a bit since the beginning of the competition.  Taylor is the novelty factor and I'm shocked he is still there.  I am still hoping for Kat to win, I like her style, her abilities and her personality.

Chris was the only one who's progress I paid attention to, so I was shocked and disappointed at first...not so much anymore...cuz the boy has got it.  I'm sure you know by now that Fuel has offered him a spot singing for them.  If he had won the contest the folks at "Idol" would have owned him for the next who knows how many years...so the way I see it he's much better off.

My thoughts were exactly like yours.  Elliot has been my fave since the 1st time I heard him sing.  He's got such a sexy voice!  It reminds me of Marc Broussard and Donny Hathaway (his idol).  My favorite to win was always Chris though.  I figured since Bo came in 2nd last year, it was time for a rocker to win.  I was happily shocked when he got the boot. \nWhen I saw that Elliot was on Taylor's side, I knew he was safe (Taylor's never in the bottom).  I assumed Katharine would be going, but I wanted Chris to go b/c I figured that would give Elliot a much better chance of winning with Chris outa the picture.  I couldn't believe he left!!\n\nAs nerdy as this is, I had my own "vote-a-thon" for Elliot (30 times through) this week.  Next week I'll be doing even more.  How cool would it be if he actually one?

Totally agreed!I mean seriously,what do people see in him as a singer!I think that people probaly feel bad for him so they vote for him.I used to feel tha way but now I'm angry that he's there!If he's the next American Idol,than I say this year was a waste of time.

It was a tough decision, when it is the final two one of the idol has to win.  Katharine McPhee was a good singer. Everyone felt that Taylor is much more better than Katharine.  America felt that he should be the next American Idol because everyone liked him by his singing and personality.  I felt that Katharine should have deserve the title if she did win.  Since, Katharine is the runner up, she learned that she made it through the competition and she never gives up.  If I was in her shadow either I win or lose, all I care about that I succeed making it to the final.

Chris was a good singer. I honestly thought he would win the whole thing but, he had one singing style and in the end I think it cost him. I would have bet that he would have went all the way especially over Katherine or Elliot.  We voted but, I guess enough people did not vote and just assumed he had it won.

Taylor Hicks deserves to be on American Idol. He has a passion for music, and he shows it. That's what shows a truly talented singer. He was amazing tonight.

I missed Katherine and Elliott, But Kellie was horrible and the judges really give it to her..Chris had the best performance and Taylor was second, in my opinion.

I think Chris's time was coming.  He's an amazing singer and he'll have a career no matter what but I was getting a little bored with him.  It's the same every week.  I think Katharine will take the win this year!

I was shocked that the 2 people favored to win, Chris and Kat, were the two with the lowest votes. I didn't think either of them deserved to go home, although Kat was labeled as the poorest of the performers this week. This was the shocker like 2 seasons ago when the best 3 people were all in the bottom 3 at the same time and the best of the year went home...Fantasia was not the best that year. Unfortunately, Chris Daughtry went home today and Kat will follow if she doesn't get back to her regular singing capabilities. I think this week was a definite disadvantage for both Chris and Kat and a big bonus for Taylor. I have no idea why they pulled this kind of theme out at this point in the competition. It should have been when there were 8 or more singers left. Taylor would probably be gone if he hadn't had the advantage this week..it was his kind of music.

In my opinion, I think Katharine should have won. She has talent beyond belief. Chris is also extraordinary, but actually, it's a good thing he didn't win, because he isn't going to be bound by a contract with AI like Taylor is. Chris is an icon of his own, and WILL go far! He honestly didn't even need AI, because his talent speaks for itself! Taylor is good, don't get me wrong, but he's more of a novelty, and would be great in Vegas.

Taylor Hicks will be the next "American Idol." Taylor has already shown that he is successful. I think that Katherine should have been voted off last week instead of Elliot. Katherine has a lovely voice, but she sings like too many others singers.  Taylors voice is unique and different. If you are not a member of the "Soul Patrol" just watch the American Idol tonight. You will see why he has so many in the "Soul Patrol."

Well, since Chris got voted off my votes are going toward Taylor. I really wish Chris was still in it though. :( But I guess it's okay...He's going to have an amazing career. He's already been offered to be Fuel's lead singer!
