That's a little worrisome. The ballads haven't been kind to her of late, while the spunky bouncy numbers have carried her through.
I wouldn't put much stock in those songs.
I'm not familiar with those songs. Do you all think they're good choices for Taylor?
Regarding...
HERE ARE PICTURES AND ARTICLES OF IDOLS IN GRACELAND... AND YOU THOUGHT ELVIS' CRAZE WAS GONE !

Also, here is a Memphis article on the Idols in Graceland:

Thanks for the info. I'm sorry I never got to see his "Svengali-like stare"! Are past seasons available on DVD?
Chris looks a little tired,but the other three look like they're having a blast.
Great pics. Looks like Chris is leaning out of the car window to get away from Kat, who is in the back with him.
Taylor has grown quite a gut since Idol began this year. He's popping his shirt buttons.
Elliott is like a kid at Disneyland, amazed at the wonder of it all!
Good choices for Elliott; I'm not familiar with Taylor's choices; and Kat will bomb out on those two songs.
It's a review of a new movie that opens some still-fresh wounds from 9/11. And it's a show that captivates viewers from elementary schoolchildren to the elderly, a show that brings families together every Tuesday and Wednesday night to watch and root, a show that inspires radio call-in shows and "Elliott" parties and billboards all over town.
I will say that Elliott has given people in Richmond something to be excited about. Everywhere you go there are signs, bumper stickers, banners and decorated cars. Little kids are writing him letters, the local diabetes groups have someone that they can point to with the disease who is out there living life, families gather round the TV at night and the chatter is all good. Richmond news is often depressing in terms of the inner city violence and politics. It's great that they have something else to cover that's actually positive.
Just waiting for someone to complain about how boring his song choice and performances were.
Someone probably will--but not me!
Both of those songs are well within Elliott's vocal range, and will be terrific, I'm sure.
This from a loyal fan of The King.
My current hope is that he makes it to third and then goes home. He/we will be very fortunate to make it to third.
I understand third place means a parade in Richmond, and people there certainly deserve that. People talk about crying a lot when Elliott comes up, but the thing that has brought me to tears has been the support from Richmond.
You had better take pics and post them if you get a parade, btw!
What can I send you from Seattle to exchange for a second copy of one of those CD's, btw. We have a few specialties out here that can make their way to your place. Let me know.
I like everything he has done except Heaven, which is pretty bad, imo.
even that wasn't horrible...
BAD song choice though....
Simon Cowell Predicts Chris Daughtry & Taylor Hicks For The American Idol Final Two
http://www.realitytvmagazine.com/blog/2006/05/simon_cowell_pr.html
With only four American Idol finalists left in the competition, Simon Cowell has been voicing his predictions for the final two. FoxNews.com reports that Simon Cowell told Good Morning America that “If I had to put money on it, I think it will be between Chris [Daughtry] and Taylor [Hicks].” ExtraTV.com also quotes Simon Cowell as saying “"My favorites now have to be Chris or Taylor with Katharine being the dark horse."
Simon Cowell has barely had a kind word to say about Taylor Hicks throughout most of the American Idol 5 competition. Now with Taylor Hicks as the sole remaining contestant who has never been in the bottom group up for elimination on the show, Simon Cowell seems to be finally warming up to the singer that he once compared to a drunk dad at a wedding. Not only is he predicting Taylor Hicks for the final two, he also called Taylor “a very, very good singer” after his recent performance of “Something.”
However, Simon’s comments could very well backfire against Chris Daughtry and Taylor Hicks. Elliott Yamin fans will likely be upset that Simon appears to have pretty much ruled Elliott out as having any real chance at winning the competition. Katharine McPhee fans will also likely feel inspired to vote repeatedly to insure her continued survival in the competition.
I don't know if Season 4 is available on DVD or not (although I'm sure there's a bootleg copy available somewhere if you knew where to look - maybe from someone on this board?). I found a DVD of "American Idol - The Best of Seasons 1 - 4" but customers criticized it as not actually being the best performances. Couldn't find a DVD of just Season 4.
