always for Tammy

Taylor probably has the biggest boobs of the three...

Rumor has it that he might be ripping his shirt open during Jailhouse Rock. Guess he's already anticipating the need for her votes! ;)

[misterrob]

Hey, when Elliott goes home his votes are going to slant towards Taylor. The AI boards show a fairly favorable opinion of one other's guy. Taylor's people were willing to mobilize and flame Fox for Shep Smith's blatant disregard to Elliott. Lot's of mutual respect there.

Plus, Taylor has been cast as a sort of black sheep by AI. E is the same way. Taylor has the most common music theme to Elliott.

Just speculation but put those two blocks together and it will be tough to beat.

LOL - I dunno if a male "prisoner" wants to be stripteasing :)

Agree completely - most Taylor fans say E-Train is their second choice (he is mine) and vice versa. Chris and Kat are on their own, albeit crowded, islands.

I think the contest comes down to which one of the two (Tay, E) goes first and delivers the votes to the other.

Chris seems a good guy and is proficient at what he does, but the whole alt-rock-flames-leather-tude thing wears real thin. Kat is a drag queen. The other two fellas feel the music and share thusly.

The interesting thing will be if Katherine goes. Which guy realistically gets the "Kat" vote?

If it works out as I suspect (a Chris-Kat finale), I don't think that will ever be an issue.

[Wolfstar]

I had the sense a couple of weeks ago that AI was setting it up for Chris/Kat.

Until Pickle threw in those horrible clunkers back-to-back, I thought she'd be the last girl standing. I do think the producers want a boy-girl finale, so Kat probably makes it that far. As for Chris, I think he's the one the producers want to win this year.

[Wolfstar]

Just speculation but put those two blocks together and it will be tough to beat.

I hope you're right. I'd be much happer if either one of those guys won instead of Katharine or Chris.

Tim McGraw an 'American Idol' fan

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES -- "American Idol" has more than 30 million fans across the country each week - and Grammy winner Tim McGraw is one of them.

Asked during a recent interview if he watched the popular Fox talent competition, McGraw said, "I do. The kids love it." McGraw and his wife, fellow Grammy winner Faith Hill, have three daughters.

"I would have never gotten past the audition stage," the 39-year-old country star said, referring to the elimination rounds during the talent search for the show.

He has a favorite this season, too. "I like the gray-haired guy. Taylor Hicks. I think he's real," McGraw said.

Hicks is one of four contestants remaining in the "American Idol" competition.

.....There is no better voice in this competition...

He has a good voice but he comes across to me like a drunken uncle or bad sheep cousin at a funeral.

He makes an acknowledgement of correct dress by wearing a bland tie, but with loose collar and poorly tied knot he shows no class. His suits are sometimes loose and ill fitting. He chose not the shave at least once and that added to the unkempt look. He insists his good side is where the missing tooth shows what could be the result of a bar brawl.

He has no, that is 0 star power.

Although Simon says it is a singing contest, it is more. Personality and drive will add to the singing talent to produce a winner. Alas, Elliot has neither.

Kelly's gone......Kat rules.

Please do not refer to young athletes as "studs". Not a political correction issue, but that's a term that really needs to retire.

I thought it was sort of a horseracing term to refer to raw athleticism and skill. So, it's used to compare human athletes to horse "athletes." The only thing I can see "wrong" with it is that it dehumanizes them, but I'm not uptight about stuff like that.

Uh oh. It seems like the last time I read stuff like that it was about Taylor and Kat and they both stunk.

[Pure Country]

Kelly's gone......Kat rules.

Boy do I ever hope you are wrong. If there was ever a non-personality--it is Kat. When she does her look into the camera, I want to turn the tv off. I ususally just leave the room or look at the closest magazine. She is definitely not star quality in my book. But hey, these kids are all going 100% out, so whoever the winner is...doesn't matter. They are all stars!

[SunnyUsa]

I actually know a young guy dancer who is on that show for this coming season ...he's made it to the finals....he's a fantastic dancer, graduating high school this year.....

I think the show is called "so you think you can dance"....

We are all really proud of him, and he's got a great personality, great smile...like Taylor! :)

[over3Owithabrain]

The rehearsal mole does say Kat had trouble with one of the songs - lyrics, stumblin', etc.

[Pure Country]

Is that show on FOX?

[silent_jonny]

I wonder if she had plastic surgery

[misterrob]

Hmmm, show us how shallow you are.

[misterrob]

Derrick Z. Jackson if the Glob wrote one of his "I see racism" columns years ago complaining how black athletes are described like animals. Horse, stud, gazelle, bull, hog, etc..

I laughed and threw it away.

[over3Owithabrain]

BTW, all the moles say the early spoiler songs are all true, for each contestant.
