I'm sure. I'd like to grow money too! I have a Beta too, but I'd rather have a pirahna!

You can be even more amazed if Taylor Hicks wins the thing. No white guy has ever won the competition. If you don't want to wait until Wednesday night to find our who won though, check out dialidol.com late Tuesday or early Wednesday. They measure the busy signals on Tuesday nights and have been pretty good at predicting the winners/losers.

I learned that if you have little fruit flies around your beta bowls, they get animated when a little flies falls in the water. Ever since I started feeding them fresh meat the seem so much happier......it is kinda fun to watch. They almost leave the water when the jump. Try it...

[marmar]

I confess I only see her on commercials once in a while...

I'm with you, McPhee should have been cut the night Chris was eliminated. She had messed up and even had forgotten the words of the song which she admitted. She knew she should have been cut too.

I had hoped Chris would have been the next Idol, but now I hope Taylor is.

I have to say I am extremely dissapointed that Alliot goes while Kathrine stays. After her last three weeks, she has absolutely no business on the show anymore.

Watching super talented people get voted off week after week and her still there trashes my faith in the general public more and more.

[Bones75]

Er.. "Elliot".. (hey mods... how 'bout that "edit post" feature?) :P

[pissant]

To be honest, I can't stand the rocker guys...Bo from last year, the bald guy this year. They grate on me. I've yeet to see any that I'd buy a CD from. It's kinda fun to see the pressure of competition though.

[pissant]

I'll give it a shot. Or I could put a gold fish in with the beta and watch some gore. LOL

Katherine did well on the Over the Rainbow song. But I'm guessing its her looks that keep her in.

[Bones75]

"Katherine did well on the Over the Rainbow song. But I'm guessing its her looks that keep her in."

I agree that it's her looks that keep her in. I am gonna have to disagree about her version of Over the Rainbow. Everybody seems to like it but I thought it was literally excruciating to listen to. Especially compared to what it could of been, the stops and starts that she added and messing around with the meter of the song to "make it her own" made it awful.

[pissant]

The song was arranged poorly, but her vocals were better than they have been, cause its her "type" of song. Screeching Elvis songs ade her look real bad.

[proudofthesouth]

Hicks is an all round entertainer and will be around for decades to come. McPhee will fade fast. She doesn't have enough talent to substain a long career.

[pissant]

He's fun. But I think he's destined to singing in bars.

[Bones75]

"The song was arranged poorly, but her vocals were better than they have been, cause its her "type" of song. Screeching Elvis songs ade her look real bad."

I don't doubt that she deserved to be in the top 5, she had a great voice.. but her still there while Elliot Yamin gets the boot? Travesty.

[pissant]

He would have got the boot alot sooner if he did not grow his hair out. He first looked like an Eminem wannabee.

[Mike Darancette]

Without naming names, Seacrest said the other singers racked up 33.26 and 33.68 percent of the votes.

What are the odds that these votes are so close?

I'll tell you it's 100%. I believe that all of the call trunks used for voting are saturated with the maximum number of votes being recorded on each line. Given those conditions the winner is always going to be a close coin toss. Hopefully for the final they will get more trunks.

[Mike Darancette]

He reminds me of a bar singer.

An entertaining Vegas lounge singer doing Springsteen covers.

[marmar]

Gee......thats a thought, tonight at work I was sitting there and all of a sudden the beta started going in fast circles inside his fish bowl. They get more personality when you feed them, little flies. Let me know....

[pissant]

It also is true that no one stands out as significantly more talented (or untalented, as the case may be) than the others.
