5 words for you: Schmaltzy. Diane. Warren. Idol. Song.

I'm talking about next year, or concerts.

Ahh, my bad. Well, if they can let Britney Spears and Ashlee Simpson perform in public, Kat should be okay.....

to whom do you think most of Elliot's votes will migrate?

Taylor.

The AI powers-that-be engineered "a moment" for Katharine last night that was so transparent, it comes extremely close to turning me off the show permanently. They not only engineered "a moment" for her, but they did everything possible to sabotage Elliott.

It was my first and only season for the show because of that obvious engineering.

"I saw SRV three times live. In 1985, 1986 and in 1990 just weeks before his death. He was exhausted at the end of every show. Unbelievable performer and one of te guitar greats of all time. It was an honor to see him play"

Caught Stevie seven times live, including the 83 midnight show at the old Wax Museum nightclub in southwest DC. Got to meet him briefly after his 85 gig at Constitution Hall.

Nice man, and one of the greatest guitar players who ever lived. Last time I saw him, he was sharing the encore with Jeff Beck at the Capital Centre, and it was ridiculous.

Never EVER had a bad gig or an off night. His latest Montreaux DVD makes that point.

It is statistically impossible to tell if they were inactive voters or former Chris voters. This thread is hardly a representative sample.

Correct, and if you noticed, my posts generally said "this is my opinion (JMO)". Believe what you want, but most of the diehard Chris fans on this thread are no longer voting. All of the diehard Chris fans I personally know (myself, my family, and my daughter's friends) are no longer voting.

As I mentioned earlier, your mileage may vary. I'm just telling you what I know, and of the Chris fans I know, they aren't voting any more.

For me, personally, I've always liked Taylor, and still do, and hope he wins. Chris was, and is, my favorite of all of the top 24, hands down. There has been complete agreement in my household (myself, my wife, and 2 teenage daughter's) since day one that we like Chris best.

We haven't voted since he left, and that's not likely to change. Elliot's not going to win (probably gone after tonight) and between Kat and Taylor, we really don't care who wins.

"ARE ANY OF BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN's SONGS FIT TO REALLY SHOWCASE YOUR VOCALS ?"

It was my first and only season for the show because of that obvious engineering.

Except that the song was "Summertime" instead of "Over The Rainbow," they did the identical thing for Fantasia in season 3, complete with Fantasia sitting on the floor like Katharine did last night. They shouldn't try the same trick twice. It become too transparent.

"Elliot was probably the best singer of the night" but he's not sure if the choices were right for him in the end.

Snicker...yeah. It topped the former "greatest song EVER" -- "A Moment Like This." (I don't even remember Ruben's and Fantasia's winners songs, that's how "great" they were.)

And while we're on the subject of Katherine:), I'm sick of seeing her "teary eyed" father.

That guy cries more than Oprah Winfrey in a flood zone.

"Put a dress on, ya woman! Geez, when isn't that guy crying??"

He's just so gosh-darn emotional! :)

Mr. McPhee reacts to Katharine's "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" ...

... to the latest news from Iraq ...

... and to the McCartney split-up: "Damn it!"
