3 more weeks of Kevin....YICKS!!!He my hometown boy but seriously, he sucks. Cute can only take you so far.
Rumor mill has it that Constintine and Kellie have a thing going on also.
Noooooo!! I can't take Kevin that long!!
No, I have not heard that, but it wouldn't suprise me. She does have an aunt who is in the business who I'm sure is coaching her. The problem is that you can't coach or teach maturity, that comes with age. Paris might go places in the future, but right now she is a child and really needs to mature before her career progresses.
Her grandmother was in Sounds of Blackness.
I liked her at first, but her routine is wearing thin. Her little extra singing stunt the other night really made me gag.
Who's Constintine?
Oh, thanks. This is the first year I got into it.
Stop by our live thread sometime!

Don't be intimidated by the # of posts. Just hop in! We have a blast!
The word is naive and if she's acting she deserves an oscar.
I love Taylor! He's got that Joe Cocker thing going. I can't decide who I'd rather have win . . . him, Chris, or Kellie.
Kevin is NOT cute. He's a weird-looking little guy.
That is beyond naive. It's stupidity.
And she's a fake.

LOL, I know, I had to clean up the floor in front of my chair.
EXACTLY my thinking. I kinda wish he'd get the boot sooner rather than later so he can get into a studio. I don't want to wait. I love the guy.
Simon's comment about the drunken wedding guest, or whatever the hell he said, was getting booed so thoroughly that a lot of people missed him say "But the difference is you can sing!" Also, I'm not entirely sure if Simon was denigrating the performance. People at weddings usually keep their eyes trained on the drunks, particularly if they are performing drunks (unless they're total ass clowns). Just ask any bride.
I love Elliot and will stop watching the day he is voted off.
Want to compare Taylor’s photo as a kid compared to today ?

This article ( and almost everyone ) says NO. Anyone who even
suggests it should be tarred and feathered.

Grey-haired Idol not the norm
Fri, March 17, 2006
By JUDY MONCHUK, CP
CALGARY -- In an entertainment universe where Botox rules and youth
is the ultimate goal, the mere suggestion of a grey-haired American
Idol seems like a joke.
But Taylor Hicks, the effusive, harmonica-playing blues singer from
Alabama, who looks older than his 29 years, has become an unlikely
focus on the singing contest.
Even tweens, the show's target audience, applaud his individuality
and unwillingness to revamp his image -- even if the soulful singer
isn't their choice among the top 12 finalists.
"It's kind of brave of him," says Oliver, a Grade 7 pupil at the
Calgary girls school, where all grades study and discuss the
importance of being comfortable in their own skin.
"It's risky being out there with a different sort of beauty."
Oliver and classmates were horrified by a suggestion from Idol host
Ryan Seacrest that Hicks, who started going grey at 15, is being
pressured by the show's hairstylist to change his hair colour.
"He'd be giving in. It would be like he thought he wasn't good
enough," said Jennifer, another pupil.
Hicks has become a hot topic online thanks to his unusual image,
which is decidedly different from that of the average pop star.
After all, two of the show's most successful winners -- Carrie
Underwood and Kelly Clarkson -- have cover-girl looks to go along
with beautiful voices.
A series of Hicks fansites have popped up on the Internet, including
www.greycharles.com -- a nod to both his hair and his Ray Charles-
influenced sound. Many include debates on whether he should cover
the grey, which even Hicks says has become his "beacon" and set him
apart from the other finalists.
In fact, "grey-haired idol" was Yahoo!'s top-searched buzz item
after one of the Idol shows this month.
Hairstylist Patrick Trudeau, who clips locks at the Ginger Group,
Calgary's trendiest salon, says Hicks would be crazy to cave in to
pressure for a makeover.
"I love the fact that he's chosen to be natural," says Trudeau, who
began going grey himself at 16. "A lot of people would say he's
chosen to be plain, but in today's culture, with everybody colouring
their hair, for him to choose to be natural makes him more of an
individual."
It's doubtful his infectious smile or jerky dance moves will spawn a
trend of young Hicksters opting against covering up the first
indications of a salt-and-pepper look.
But his refusal to change has made Hicks easier to identify and
that's a good thing in a competition, says Arlene Oak, who teaches
the connection between culture and appearance in the University of
Alberta's human ecology department.
"It's a way in which he stands out and that's positive in this
environment," said Oak. "He's drawing attention to himself by being
himself."
Still, no one believes a female contestant would have made it this
far with grey hair.
"They'd get the image of a grandma," said Oliver.
Here is an article that claims that Taylor is considering changing his hair color ( with a picture showing how he'd look like with dark hair as illustration ) :
