always for Tammy

I think Taylor has a good voice. I was basing that on comments from these threads. I don't think I would buy his CD though. I might change my mind after hearing him on the radio.

I also think Taylor should be in the finale, with Chris! So this just sucks!

I'm beyond stuned... I can't even find my beeber!

Holy Crap! I got it!

Simon SAVED her. He TRASHED her on her last song and the sympathy vote kicked in! That's how Ace escaped going home on Queen week.

Last week, Katharine's 2nd song was good enough to give her a "pass" on the butchering of the 1st.

This week, she wasn't good on BOTH so the only thing to save her was sympathy!

But that only works for ONE week. It's like a "Get out of jail free card."

[silent_jonny]

IMO, she beat him out by a hair. ;)

OHHHH! LOL

[Netizen]

Could be. It could also be that some people (see votefortheworst.com) are voting for Taylor as a joke.

I saved this from when VFTW chose him:

Here's what will go on the front page. Anyone got a good graphic since we need to take the Kellie one down?

Quote:And we have selected our new VFTW candidate: Taylor Hicks! We even did our banner in grayscale as a tribute to our new pick! Why have we picked Taylor? Well, this show is not made for Taylor Hicks. He shouldn't be singing songs from the 21st century or be limited to Idol's cheesy song catalog. That's not his style, and I'm sure he joined the competition to try to bring something different. The producers don't want something different though, and it's obvious that they're breaking his spirit, even going as far as to make him change his song at this last minute last week because they didn't see "Try a Little Tenderness" as a love song. What? That doesn't even make sense. Tay-Tay is also incredibly VFTW because he either goes all out and acts crazy to entertain us (remember him missing the mike stand during "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" anyone?) or he phones in his performances while looking bored ("Just Once", "Country Roads Take Me Home";) . Simon Cowell also hates Taylor, as is evidenced by his reaction at his audition and his reaction each and every week. Simon wants Taylor out now, because he can't stand to promote someone so unmarketable. So what do we say? Stick it to the show and vote for Taylor! He has the Soul Patrol, and now he has us, the Asshole Patrol! Hopefully we can work together to help Taylor win this thing!

I can't even imagine what a Texas/Jersey girl accent sounds like! Can you post her picture sometime?

The accent is a hoot. I don't have much of an accent- unless I'm in a room with a bunch of east Texans, then the drawl comes out. My wife lived in Texas for several years but is from New York. She has always had a bit of an accent. I love the way she says "quafee" meaning "coffee" or "no-ah" for "no". A few years back we moved to south Jersey and began populating the state with baby conservatives. Anyway- you can see pictures of the younglings in my tribe at the bottom of my profile page. I just added a picture of the eldest that was taken around halloween.

[andyssister]

I don't remember that. But then again I'm not focused on the "ta-tas".LOL! Look, the comments are a little over the top(pardon the pun). A little discretion never hurts.

[silent_jonny]

I was shocked that it was Chris, I did NOT see that coming.

Me either ... I feel kinda sick.

BTW, I like the way you sign your posts :)

Glad you're here too, jonny :-D

[EmilyGeiger]

Taylor and Bo Bice are going to be in the B'ham area on Friday. :) I still love Bo. I really like Taylor. Would love to see either one of them.

[Netizen]

That was a low point and I sure hope they don't boo Kat next week.

There was booing tonight after Chris was told. The audience knew who should have gone.

[AnnaZ]

That article just made me sadder.

Get your gift yet?

= )

[OldFriend]

Sorry to hear that. I must have missed the boos.

Darned shame to take it out on any contestant.

[silent_jonny]

I'M PISSED! DO I LOOK PISSED?

:)

If it's any consolation, you're not alone being pissed. Chris was robbed. He should've made it at least one more week at least.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Elliot you dodged a bullet.
Stop singing boring songs or phone home next week.

[Palladin]

I just had a few good laughs looking at your photoshopped pics. What a riot!

[stlnative]

HEADS UP CHRIS FANS

Chris will be on the "American Idol Extra" show tomorrow on at 5:30 pm central time. (6:30pm est)

I have "Dish Network" and it is on the REAL Channel #190 (Fox Reality Channel)

[Conservative Texan Mom]

Elliot bores me to tears and Kat seems cold and snooty and has spotty performances. None of the top three are even in the same league as Chris. So sad. AMEN!!!!!! I really don't care to watch now. Elliot bores me! His performances give me the urge to do this.

[silent_jonny]

She turns 62 this year.

I hope that's accurate. I also hope she's not married to Mike Farrell--LOL!

Aw, cmon... my kids aren't that funny-looking!

Seriously though- thank you. I had fun making them. The photoshopped pics were fun to make too. ;)
