KATHERINE SUCKS!

I don't know why she is even in the top 4 at this point. Okay, she's hot, I know, but she doesn't have talent!

I like Taylor and Chris a hundred times more than Katherine. I will be SOOOOOO happy if Katherine get's booted tonight. I might even thow a party...

wow, to say that she has no talent, does not make me want to hear you sing - ever! Katharine has undeniable talent my dear. they all do, but i HAd to stop when you would say THAT...are you jealous or something...i mean, why even refer to the fact that she's hot? what does that have to do with talent. You got envy on your mind.

Jesus christ, this cow won out over Chris? I predict a massive dropoff in viewership because of this one.

I can't believe Chris is out of the competition, I thought that he was one of the best singers there. Guess it's between Taylor and Katherine. bye

Katherine ... without talent? ... omigod. have you been living under a rock? seriously. this year's top 5 have incredible talent. we all like to think that this is PURELY a talent competition, but it's so much more than that ... it all boils down to the number of votes ...

if it were all about looks Ace would still be around, i have downloaded all of Kat's songs and listen to them. She has a very sultry, mature voice, stop all the hating because she is gorgeous, that is just a bonus.

KATHRINE IS THE BEST AND IS GOING TO BEAT THE OTHERS

i luv katharine,she will win 4 sure.no doubt 'bout it!

Hot!? Gorgeous?! I actually think she's kinda goofy, although in a cute kinda way. Loveable - yes, but "hot"? Nah! O.K. shes built well in certain places, but to say she's "gorgeous" is like saying Barbara Streisand is gorgeous (although Kat is a bit better looking than Steisand ever was). One thing she definitely has in common with Streisand however: HER TALENT!!! No doubts about that. In fact, I can't think of one female singer's voice ever recorded that I would say I like better than Kats. You know, I don't even care if she wins this AI thing. I just want her to cut some records. Just keep one thing in mind : THE BEST DOESN'T ALWAYS WIN no matter what the endevor(and especially in shows like American Idol).

P.S - this message written by a heterosexual male.

Kat is awful...very awful. Please do not ask me if I sit under a rock all day, because actually I sit in auditions all day, listening to people sing and watching them act (and sometimes watching them..do whatever it is you call "that"). Katherine is "that." I never had a problem with it, because this is a competition and she is definitely at competion level. The problem is that chris (and another I can think of) were not anywhere near "competition" level. They stood so far ahead of the rest it was absurd. So the question bothering everyone is how are the most talented and professional singers getting voted off? My guess is because of the same genius that brought us G.W. but hey, that's just me. Kat's fine as long as she just stands there, its really the moving, singing and talking that messes her up. Chris...that boy has a bright future ahead of him while others are free to be the "underwood" of 2006. just my 2.

Katherine is the best one out there, she has it all, the looks, the voice, the personality to become the next idol. I dont think anyone will ever top Kelly Clarksons success, she is truly amazing but Katherine sure does come close. I am sure she will when it!

Katherine Mcphee should have been booted two weeks ago. Paris had way more talent. The fact is that Chris Daughtry was the only contestant that even had a chance at hitting it big after american idol. We might see one album by the other three and then they'll disappear. It's a fact.

First of all, comparing McPhee with Daughtry is like comparing apples and oranges. Chris rocks and Kat....well, she sings. So. It's hard to say who is "better". That really depends on your musical tastes. I will say this however - the style of music Kat aspires to perform takes a lot more talent, and a much more developed skill level to perform well. It's kind of like what my Sax teacher once told me years ago when I told him a was thinking of picking up the guitar - the saxaphone is a easier instrument to play.....Badly! I think that's what's happening with a few of Kats performances. Kat's problem is she is a bit "erratic", but that probably comes from her nervousness. But to call her "awful" or much less talented then the rest to me just sounds downright ignorant. In any case, if you were to take the top ten performances of the top twelve contestants this year, I think three of them would belong to Kat, at least (I still think her rendition of "until you come back to me" was technically by far the number one top performance). The problem is, a few of the worst would probably belong to her as well. O.K., so Chris was more consistent. But with the style of music he performed, consistency is a lot easier.

KATHERINE McPHEE SHOULD WIN AI (or at least be in the finale)!!
I think people are being unfair to Kat, she is a "talented" singer. Kat should be in the top 2 along with Taylor; however, because of the Chris controvesey she will be eliminated Wed. (Most of his fans are angry that Chris left instead of Kat; therfore, Chris fan are going to vote for Elliot and Taylor in despite of Kat.)
KAT is the best adn she deserves to be in the final, so PLEASE VOTE FOR KATHERINE McPHEE!!

Kat doesn't have to win Idol to become a star. She's as good right now as Linda Eder, and better looking. She'll go far.

ok i love chris and how did he voted off before elliot did???????The only people i like know is taylor and kat so i hope elliot gets voted off tonigt. if you want to now a chris site here is one: www.chrisdaughtryrocks.com and you can go to mp3 player and listen to everyone of his songs that he has sang!!!!!! I LOVE CHRIS DAUGHTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After last night's performance, I changed my mind. "Until you come back to me" is no longer the best AI performance of the year. "Somewhere over the rainbow" just blew it far way!! Come On! After that performance, how can anybody say that Kat is "very awful" or "untalented"? Years from now, when they roll out "The Best of American Idol" DVD, you can bet that that performance will be on it! As of now, after five years of some pretty good performances, I think it stands as the performance to beat (arguably of course).

If I was a music producer, out of all the contestants I've seen on the show this year, my choice of somebody to groom would be Kat. The choice is just too damn simple (and they all need grooming no matter who ends up on a record label). And I say that as somebody that has studied music for most of his life. O.K, I'm no music industry executive that knows who's bound to market well in the industry, but I do have a damn good handle on music as an art form (as opposed to music as a "commodity" - there is a big difference I'm sure). From that point of view, NOBODY can touch Kat. She is that good.

I think Kat sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she has a bad attitude, she can not take it when the judges tell her she was not that hott!she always looks like the judges are going to praiser her everytime, and when they don't she pouts and always has something to say about, Everyone else says thank you and goes on there way with a smile.
I also think she looks like a ho when she sings on the floor,,,,omg this is a family show(get off the floor)
I hope Elliott will win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kattherine M. is the best she is pretty and very cool but i thought that chris would have won but some1s gona leave anyways so i wish that katherine wins it not TAYLOR he acts like he is drunk i think hes on crack.

Who can say something bad about kat. shes the best. Who would want Elloit to win even though hes good but hes ugly aren't all famous people hot hes not.And TAYLOR he looks like he's all drunk and is an crack he dances sooo weird. I want Kat. M. to win and if she does'nt win i will be mad and soo sad my mom loves the girl and if she does'nt win idol OH MY GOD AMERICA HAS MADE BIG MISTAKE... VOTE FOR KATHERINE SHE SHOULD WIN! I HOPE SHE DOES'NT GO HOME TODAY IM GONA GET VERY MADDD!

kattherine M. is the best she is pretty and very cool but i thought that chris would have won but some1s gona leave anyways so i wish that katherine wins

sorry about what i called taylor i feel bad ,whoever wins wins

Here's a long one. Please read on.

Laura, don't feel bad. I kinda agree with you. Even though it looks as though Taylor is going to win (his following seems too big to beat), he really shouldn't. AI is supposed to be a contest of musical talent, and that talent definitely belongs to Kat. I think Taylor should get into politics. I think that's where his true talent lies. Either that, or get in to some kind of sales gig.

Even though I rather not say it, I'm a bit inclined to agree with Jen too about Kat's attitude. She doesn't appear to take to criticism very well, and I can see how she would be misconstrues as a bit pretentious. Like when she started doing that duet with Andrea Bocelli in her coaching session with David Foster. I can see how somebody might see that as a bit too "show-offy". But criticism IS something she's going to have to get used to if she's going to develop her talent to the fullest. Even if she is way beyond the others, she's not anyway near her peak and she needs to realize that if she doesn't already. And that holds true even if her peak is equal to that of the legendary performers who's songs she choose to perform on the show (and I believe it is or maybe even beyond). She's just not there yet. I think that's why the judges are so hard on her. But hey!! She is only 21 years old and she does have a monster talent. With those two attributes, humility doesn't come easy. At this stage in her career, I'd be surprised if she really does have more humility than that!! That's something that will come to her, and to that end, the criticism will help her out, no matter how badly she takes it now.

In her defense about the judges criticisms, you have to admit that the judges were pretty harsh on her considering the magnitude of her performances. Even Simon once admitted to that, and he doesn't seem like the type of guy to admit when he's wrong. I think, however, her reaction to the criticisms is one more of bewilderment, and not so much one of an angry cry-baby. It's more like, "What are you trying to say", not "Screw you". And that just brings me to my biggest criticism with the judges in general. THEIR criticism isn't very constructive if you can even understand it. They're just way too subjective! Like when Paula appeared to be talking out her back-side about Kat's "I have nothing" performance. What the heck was she talking about!? Who knows. I doubt Paula does. Of course, the judges just can't come out a say, "We think your cocky Kat, so we're bound to shoot you down no matter how well you do". Maybe Kat will figure that out latter if that's the case. Whatever. The show is suppose about talent. Character judgments should be left out no matter how hard that is to do. Unfortunately, it appears as though Taylor is going to win on his apparent character (or I should say "image". Who knows who he really is), not his talent. "Ooo, thank you for letting me sing your song Boss Springstein - I'm not worthy!!!. That's diplomacy, not talent. Run for governor or something. You can have Bill Clinton do some crappy saxaphone licks while you sing during your campaign.

Hey Mcphee may be more of a b%*$# than she appears, but if she wins, then that means she'll be more famous and there will be more sexy pictures to jerk off to available. Go Mcphee!

I think that McPhee is horrible. She's halfway decent with the high notes...but terrible with runs...and when she gets down into the lower keys I think I want to kill myself. She sounds like a butchered up Agulera.

McPhee translates to "All About Me"

I don't care if she sings "pretty well" or not - I can't stand folks that arn't humble and share their talent with folks - to actually share their talent and enjoy their life.

McPhee is about McPhee - Diva to be.

She can sick alright - but who cares? Do you all really like people to make a boat load of money who don't appreciate the folks that handed over their dollars for them?

So remember folks when you think "McPhee" Think "All about me!"

LOL

I THINK U GUYS SHOULD VOTE FOR KATHERINE MCPHEE COZ SHE IS TALENTED,BEAUTIFUL AND........VOTE A LOT MORE FOR HER.....DUN LET TAYLOR WIN...

A "butchered up Agulara"? Agulara HERSELF sounds "butchered up"!!!! Kat just needs to refrain from emulating Christine's style, or anybody else's for that matter. She'll do better as a singer if she does. Kat needs to be Kat, not anybody else. That person (as a singer) has peeped through occasionally in Kat's AI performances, and that person, although still an infant, is better than Agulara.

Refering to the "posted by stoner" and the "posted by Jay thousand Oaks" comments above:

People like Stoner are the reason people like McPhee have to spend the rest of their lives surrounded by body guards. No wonder they get bitchy and unappreciative. She's from LA isn 't she? That fact alone goes far to explain her apparent (not obvious) personality quirks. THINK TALENT - NOTHING ELSE.

Taylor should NOT win! He's just here at the end because for some reason people like him......don't really know why! Maybe they feel bad for him?!?!?! He doesn't have talent like Katherine does. She has an undeniable talent and to hear the some of you say that she has NO talent is absolutely ridiculous! I don't care if she's pretty or not, she's an awesome singer!.....and she'll only get better with time. If Taylor wins, he will be soon forgotten. Katherine will actually sell records! Hello!?!? Shouldn't the person who wins be good enough to sell records? C'mon people, get a grip!

Right on Amanda!!!!!!!

Kat....SUCKS!!!She always lets her dang boobs hangout come on girl your on national televison it makes you look bad...she should have went home two weeks ago...chris and elliot are so much better than her....I hope taylor wins cuz kat doesnt deserve it at all..she is to cocky..she thinks she is awesome but she isnt...Im an elliot fan..and i think he is the best and he should have won..but now im all for taylor..as long as kat doesnt win im happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so, i'm really a little bothered by everyone saying how great Kat is, cus she's really not!! American Idol should not be someone who sings through their nose and makes me cringe everytime they hit a longer, higher note! I'm a singer myself (in the shower and at my church) ;), and I'll tell the truth I could never get up and sing in front of that many people in a million years, so mad props to her for being able to do that!! She seems very full of herself though, and that bothers me so much! She does have a beautiful voice but she lets it get away from her, like she just doesn't think she has to try very hard to make her voice work, but she really does! I've never heard an idol contestant mess up so many songs either! She's beautiful, can have a beautiful voice when she works with it, but I thought the American Idol should be someone with heart, undeniable (record AND stage) talent, meaning they can get up, sing a song effortlessly, and without messing up and butchering numerous song week after week!! Chris and Elliot should have been the ones battling it out for the top 2! (love you, Taylor, but Chris and Elliot have my heart) :P Chris being an amazing performer, singer (even my mom, my grandma and stepmom loved him so don't give me that not everyone likes rockers BS), he was an amazing father to his kids, and he just seemed to have so much heart in it, no arrogance at all! And Elliot, awesome voice, needs a lil work on stage presence but I would see him workin on it and getting it one day, and talk about someone with heart, loves his mom and family more then anything, and he's hard of hearing in one ear, dear lord, if you can sing like that, and not fully hear yourself, that's talent! (imagine what he could do with full hearing) I don't care if Kat wins, I don't see myself buying a record or going to see a concert... I'm just not a fan!! You better believe you'll see me at any Chris or Elliot concert though!! :)(I wouldn't mind seein Taylor either!! That dancin is crazy, but so entertaining!!) Kelly, Bo, Clay, Carrie... great top 2's throughout American Idol history, i'm a little curious what's goin on this season?!

American Idol isn't really a singing competition; it's a PERFORMING competition. A PERFORMANCE includes stage presence, charisma, appearance, and the ability to entertain as well as sing.

Kat may be a talented singer, but Taylor is by far the better ENTERTAINER.

Taylor wins, hands down.

Yo NetSlob (love that name). American Idol IS just a singing contest. The show is looking more to promote the careers of "recording artists", not so much the careers of "performing artists." It's about scoring a gig with a "record" company. Besides, the show really is not formatted to show off whatever else talent the contestant might have except maybe dancing, and Taylor isn't exactly Micheal Jackson. In fact, I like Taylor better when he's not hopping around the stage like a kangaroo or falling on his back or kicking around the microphone stand like a drunken idiot. In my book, that isn't exactly something that can even be described as the "performing arts". It's not even entertaining. It's pretty peculiar behavior though! It seems to be more a device he uses to divert the audiences attention away from his crappy singing - exactly what John Beluchi and Dan Akroyd used to do in "the Blues Brothers" (not exactly an act that toped the billboard charts). Also, having your shirt untucked isn't exactly what I call good "stage presence". Come on! How can you say that looks better than Kat up on stage! Are you alright? That's just another thing that makes him look drunk. If he wants to do the drunk guy routine, AND sing good at the same time, I think he needs to study some Dean Martin films or something.

You know, it seems that by your criteria, every weekend musician playing at all the Holiday Inns across the country qualifies as an American Idol. Did you see the Blues Brothers movie? Remember the keyboard player (can 't remember his name) that had the regular night club gig before the brothers put "the band" back together. That's Taylor!! I guess that's entertainment when you have nothing else to do on a Saturday night, but not exactly something you want to put on CD.

Ya know, Dave? You are one of the smartest people I have ever crossed paths with :-)
....well, if you consider this crossing paths.
