yes i think that he has a soulful voice and that if he wins that would be a big change for american idol. taylor has a voice like no other. i feel if he does not win he still should get a record deal with somebody

2 hours, my achin' butt. Waaay too long. An hour is fine. 2 songs apiece and the usual garbage from the judges. \n\n30 is a bit short. But I'd take 30 over 2 hours. \n\nWho's going to win? We voted for Kat, but it looked like the judges wanted to throw it to Taylor. Kat's single song was not in her range and was eminently forgettable as music. Grrr. (A Kat fan, here, obviously.)

Taylor is great He's unique, and totally deserves winning. \n\nKatharine's is ok. Her voice is nice but the music world has too many bubblegum pop female singers. I think Chris Daughtry should have taken Katharine's place in the top 2.

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.

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.

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."

What I think will be good about this week and the "American Songbook" is that it should showcase the good voices and make the mediocre voices obvious.  I think Katherine would do very well with "Someone to Watch Over Me", Taylor could try "What a Wonderful World" or "As Time Goes By".  I am a bit nervous for Chris, but he did very well with his country song, so hopefully he will come through again. I think that Kellie may have a hard time, but she did very well with Queen, so who knows? Elliot should be in his element this week, so I expect him to do well.  He could do "The Way You Look Tonight" or "I Only Have Eyes for You".  Paris will also probably be fine, this seems like a type of music that will suit her.
