1. Taylor Hicks...nobody else comes close
2. Chris Daughtry
3. Mandisa
4. Katharine McPhee
5. Elliott Yamin
6. Ace Young
Those are in order...except that I have no preference between Katharine and Elliot. They could switch places in the lineup...six or a half-dozen.
I am in complete agreement with your top 5. However, I personally cannot stand Face. Don't like his voice at all. if I had to pick a #6 I guess it would be Lil Magic (Paris) or Lisa.
thank you thank you thank you....I love Taylor....and I've got every finger crossed....I think this guy will end up being a true American Idol because of (not only his talent but...) his personality....what a great guy....and oh yeah, he's from ALABAMA....
