I always watch the show again and close my eyes the second time. I totally agree with you on Taylor and Paris - their vocals were far better than the judges allowed. Taylor's lighting was horrible and Paris looked a little funny too, so I think it cannot help but sway us visually, subconsciously or not.

8521 has a link to a YouTube clip that has her entire performance.
The point where she takes a big drop and her knee pops the button is pretty funny.

Despite today's rumors, I think he is safe and will kick some hiney next week.Don't know what today's rumors are, but DialIdol has them ranked this way after last night:
Taylor Hicks 26.01
Chris Daughtry 25.95
Elliott Yamin 23.72
Katharine McPhee 22.46
Kellie Pickler 19.42
Paris Bennett 17.36
Interesting that they have the three girls in the bottom. Not sure, but I think this is the lowest Pickle has been. Also, Taylor and Chris are a virtual tie.

I don't think Taylor is going home, but that is the rumor. Apparently Ryan said that Nigel said that a "shocker" is to come tonight - someone with a huge fan base going home. Take it for what it is worth. I would think Pickles before Taylor. I think the bottom three is going to be all female.
To: Wolfstar
Could DialIdol be off this week, since two numbers were used for each performer? They have been pretty accurate the last few weeks.

I agree - Paris certainly deserves to stay before Pickle.
To: Netizen
Not only that, but these kids are getting advice from each of these guests and it may be too much info and advice in too short a time.You have a good point. If I were in the contestants position, it would make my head spin. Especially if some of the advice was contradictory.

Taylor's lighting was horrible and Paris looked a little funny too, so I think it cannot help but sway us visually, subconsciously or not. And their appearance. Look what they did to Mandisa, yhen Ace, right before they got the boot. hmmm look what they did to Pickles last night! that hair! lol
To: over3Owithabrain
I was looking around the forums at dialidol and they took into account both numbers. Those stats should be accurate.
To: over3Owithabrain
Could DialIdol be off this week, since two numbers were used for each performer? They have been pretty accurate the last few weeks.It's certainly possible. The way I understand it (and I'm not sure I DO understand it fully), the guy who started DialIdol wrote a piece of software that people can download to their own computers. The software uses the broadband connections of the people who download it to track the number of busy signals for each phone number.
So I assume it would make no difference to the software how many phone numbers were being tracked. As long as you know the phone numbers and which contestants they are assigned to, it should be an easy task to add the total busy signals for the two numbers for each contestant.
The statistical theory behind what the software does is pretty sound. The contestant with the greatest number of busy signals is getting the greatest number of votes. DialIdol's samples are large thanks to the thousands who have downloaded the software, which is why they've been pretty accurate. I think I read somewhere that 15 out of 18 times (or something close to that), the person they had at the bottom went home that night.
(BTW, I would never download a piece of software like that, because there would be no protection against its possible malicious use.)

BTW, just breaking - the top AI dog Nigel confirmed that Taylor had to change his song mid-week. He chose "Try a Little Tenderness" (perfect for him) but it got poopcanned. The brains at AI said it wasn't a true love song that Bocelli would sing (as oppoed to Bryan Adams I guess)

The other thing to keep in mind is that AI plays that 'shocker' game all the time. Last time the only surprise was that Katharine was in the bottom three. The person that went home was no shock. Thus there really was no 'shocker', we are getting to a point where good people are going to be in the bottom three.
I wonder if they think Paris has a large fan base. I would think that they must know that she doesn't.

The brains at AI said it wasn't a true love song that Bocelli would sing (as oppoed to Bryan Adams I guess) Taylor should get AI to sign off on what he wants to sing before even starting to practice it. I thought they have a list that they have to choose from. If it wasn't a true love song why was it on the list?

AND YOU FOLKS VOTING FOR HER IN NORTH CAROLINA, Please -- You've got Clay Aiken and Fantasia already from your state. She clearly isn't someone you'd want to tout as talent. I don't have any polls in front of me, but I think the NC votes are more behind Chris than Pickler.

I think I see areola. LOL, I thought so too. But it (whatever "it" is) is too high and off center, IMO. It's probably a piece of tape.

DialIdol had the three girls in the bottom, with the Pickler bottoming it out. If the rumor is true, I would think Nigel is describing the Pickler.
