I missed Taylor Hicks - and just saw the snippet replay - that was AWFUL!!!!!

I agree. Like many times before, he's dropped the ball. He's capable of much more and he's just not doing it. I don't know why.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

I thought that was funny, she's the first one that I ever saw shut him up. She effectively cut him off of giving his opinion of her performance.

[TonyWpi]

Thanks for the heads up...

Looks like Elliott's the one to vote for...

[Echo Talon]

Really...I figured Kellie would be BZ all night! I'll give it a try too.

Maybe everyone thought she didn't need the votes because she did so well?

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

If this is accurate, people are voting for who they want to win and not on tonights performances.

He's capable of much more and he's just not doing it. I don't know why.

It is almost as if taylor is just coasting at the moment. he has basically mailed in his last three performances. I think he is thinking that as long as the Soul Patrol keeps him safe he can coast.

He may be trying to be cagey. Do just enough to get by, and then bring out the big guns the last few weeks. He better hope he doesn't shoot himself in the foot.

taylor looks to be safe though, I have not gotten through on his number yet.

[Netizen]

Is anyone out there voting?? Just wondering how it's going...

Lots of busy signals for Taylor.

[TonyWpi]

Tradesports has the bottom 3 as follows:

Bottom: Bucky
Next: Ace
Next: Elliott

[Wyatt's Torch]

Getting through for Chris with ease. I truly wonder if they have the same number of lines open for everyone.....

[silent_jonny]

Like you said last week, he's probably sleeping with it.

LOL! And he's stuck with his hair now--he can't cut it, so he only has three choices left: wear it long like Jessica Simpson, tie it back in a ponytail or stuff it under a hat :)

[TonyWpi]

Now Tradesports has Mandisa with the biggest "drop."
She went from the top 5 to the bottom 4.
Tonight's "killing" of the Shania tune really hurt her.

[silent_jonny]

Mandisa may just be in the bottom 3 tomorrow night.

The bottom three will be very interesting this week--that's for sure. All the fat has been cut away and now we're getting to the meat.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Do just enough to get by, and then bring out the big guns the last few weeks.

That's what I think.

Becky

[silent_jonny]

I just don't understand why he picked a John Denver song....awful!

There's never a good reason to pick a John Denver song. Maybe "Rocky Mountain High", but I wouldn't recommend it :)

[retrokitten]

That's being generous. LOL

Seriously, you can tell the bad weeks because all of our lists are completely different. We all started out ranking people in generally the same order. Maybe 1 or 2 would be different, but the lists would be similar.

Now, this show and the last one all our lists are all over the place. It's not just maybe the #1 and #2 spots are different, the entire ranking is different. Bad sign for them.

[del4hope]

Whoa???? Gary Allen has 6 kids. Unless it was a remarriage, are we speaking of the same person? This is the first I have heard of this. As a Gary Allen fan, how did I miss this?

[Senator Goldwater]

I managed to get through for Katherine only twice in one hour.
