kathliam 3669 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 05-10-06, 07:48 PM (EST) "American Idol 5: Final 4 Results Show 5/10/06" Please keep all discussion of tonight's program in this thread until 12:00 AM EST. Who will go home tonight? Who most benefitted from 'Elvis' night? Are theme weeks unfairly skewed in favor of male singers? We'll find out tonight, when the votes tell us whether we have an all-male Final 3 or whether Katherine survives another week. I'll join you all after TAR. See ya then!   Top

Is it just me, or does anyone else have a bad feeling tonight that Chris may be leaving instead of Kat? I can't explain it...just a bad feeling. I hope i'm wrong. Also, next week is the Clive Davis week, where they sing 3 songs. One the contestants choice, one the judges choice, and one choice by Clive himself. geekboy   Top

CommHop 8 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 05-10-06, 08:50 PM (EST) 2. "RE: Is it just me?" I think Chris is safe tonight. Fingers crossed. Kat should go.   Top

kathliam 3669 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 05-10-06, 08:55 PM (EST) 3. "RE: Is it just me?" Did I miss anything? Caught up on the TAR board.   Top

cahaya 19891 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-10-06, 09:01 PM (EST) 10. "RE: Is it just me?" Saw that kathliam (although I swore not to venture into TAR Spoilers this season). You are a mighty quick, alert commentator. Can't think of anyone else who gets it up so thoroughly and accurate so fast as you do. Excellent work!   Top

CommHop 8 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 05-10-06, 08:55 PM (EST) 4. "RE: Is it just me?" I'm at work. What's going on witht he show?   Top

cahaya 19891 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-10-06, 08:59 PM (EST) 8. "RE: Is it just me?" I'd guess Kat. Close call who's going up with her for the final call... I'd guess Elliot instead of Chris, but barely. Taylor is surely in; if they put Taylor with Kat and say 'one of these two is going home', we'll know who.   Top

CommHop 8 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 05-10-06, 09:02 PM (EST) 11. "RE: Is it just me?" I thought Elliot was way better than Chris was last night. I didn't care for Taylor's first song, but he was great on his second. I thought Chris was boring last night. Kat should go tonight in my book.   Top

geekboy 1788 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 05-10-06, 09:21 PM (EST) 25. "RE: Is it just me?" My feeling was justified. Chris in shock. Simon and Paula in shock. geekboy   Top

cgannon 4 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 05-11-06, 00:03 AM (EST) 67. "RE: Is it just me?" No it's not just you-this show needs help especially after tonight's results show - very disappointing!   Top

kathliam 3669 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 05-10-06, 08:57 PM (EST) 5. "Ford commercial" This week, singing 'Wonderful World'. while driving a big-a$$ Ford hybrid truck. Katherine drives up the driveway, opens the garage which is full of carp, directs the guys to clean out the space so she can park in the garage. Meh.   Top

geekboy 1788 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 05-10-06, 08:58 PM (EST) 6. "Priscilla" That outfit is NOT flattering on Priscilla. She looks pregnant. geekboy   Top

sica077 523 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 05-10-06, 10:03 PM (EST) 43. "RE: Priscilla" LAST EDITED ON 05-10-06 AT 10:03 PM (EST) LOL...I thought she was pregnant! I never would have guessed she wasn't.   Top

geekboy 1788 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 05-10-06, 10:16 PM (EST) 47. "RE: Priscilla" I don't know ... perhaps she is. I jsut assumed she was a bit old to have a baby. But what do i know... Either way, hte outfit was so not flattering. geekboy   Top

sica077 523 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 05-10-06, 10:42 PM (EST) 55. "RE: Priscilla" LAST EDITED ON 05-10-06 AT 10:43 PM (EST) Yeah, I guess she is 61! Well, I tried looking online for something that would say whether or not she is pregnant. All I found were a few (seemingly rumor-generated) articles claiming Priscilla is pregnant with Lisa's baby (because Lisa is on tour and can't afford to be pregnant and have to lose the baby weight). Hard to believe...but many boards are lighting up about Priscilla's bulging appearance. She did seem to be rubbing her belly here and there...like an expecting mother would do! But 61....man! Now THAT would be one old mama! I don't believe it's Lisa's, but she did look big in only the belly area. On another note, agreed: the outfit was bad.   Top

kathliam 3669 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 05-10-06, 08:59 PM (EST) 7. "Idol at Graceland" Priscilla Presley takes the Idols on a tour of Graceland. Wow, the woman has had a LOT of Botox, and untold amounts of collagen in her lips. Why, or why, did she feel any of that was necessary?   Top

kathliam 3669 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 05-10-06, 09:00 PM (EST) 9. "RE: Idol at Graceland" Oh, Lisa shows up and takes them on a golf cart ride around Graceland and out into the street (and the fans).   Top

geekboy 1788 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 05-10-06, 09:02 PM (EST) 12. "Lisa Marie" I've _always_ had a thing for her. She is so damn hot in a very very naughty way. Glow can go *thud* for Chris. Lisa Marie makes me go *thud*, and then some... geekboy   Top

thecrossbowkid 40 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beauty Pageant Celebrity Judge" 05-11-06, 08:10 AM (EST) 89. "RE: Lisa Marie" Hot? She married an insane, homosexual pedophile to further her nonexistant career. Pathetic is more like it.   Top

geekboy 1788 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 05-11-06, 08:47 PM (EST) 112. "RE: Lisa Marie" Yeah, people do stupid things and make mistakes, especially those in the realm of celebrity. But, damn, she's still HOT. geekboy   Top

kathliam 3669 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 05-10-06, 09:04 PM (EST) 13. "Group Sing" Medley of Elvis songs. Elliott starts with 'Teddy Bear', sounds amazingly like The King himself. Group sing 'Blue Suede Shoes'. Taylor, 'Heartbreak Hotel' solo. Katherine, 'Are You Lonesome' solo (she should have sung that last night, sounds nice). The guys join her on chorus. Chris, 'Love Me Tender' solo, others humming backup. Group sing, I should know the song title but don't. Taylor rocking out 'Burning Love', Katherine has a bridge, Elliott and Chris join. Not bad. Enjoyable. Okay, get on with it.   Top

geekboy 1788 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 05-10-06, 09:06 PM (EST) 15. "RE: Group Sing" Kat should ahve done 'Lonesome' and 'Burning Love'. geekboy   Top

kathliam 3669 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 05-10-06, 09:09 PM (EST) 16. "And We're Back..." 20 minutes in and nothing except wasting time with Jerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romjain. Rebecca loved Taylor singing 'Jailhouse Rock', asks if he can sing it again. Nigel gives his approval. Taylor agrees to reprise his song.   Top

cahaya 19891 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-10-06, 09:12 PM (EST) 17. "RE: And We're Back..." Just as good second time around. A thought... Taylor dances more like Steve Martin than he does Elvis!   Top

geekboy 1788 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 05-10-06, 09:12 PM (EST) 18. "RE: And We're Back..." Interesting "spontaneous" thing. I would not expect that to normally happen "spontaneously". also, he did even better than last night on that song. geekboy   Top

Glow 14353 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-11-06, 07:33 AM (EST) 84. "RE: And We're Back..." uh yeah. Not to mention there was a microphone up there waiting for him. Real spontaneous, guys.   Top

LAST EDITED ON 05-11-06 AT 09:53 AM (EST) He BUTCHERED the lyrics!!! Nobody calls him on it, either (on here I mean). He pieced together several verses in the middle and then repeated some in the end.   Top

kathliam 3669 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 05-10-06, 09:12 PM (EST) 19. "Finally, Some Results" All four are brought to center stage. Left to right (looking at the screen), Taylor, Elliott, Chris, Katherine (Ryan in the middle). Ryan placed Elliott next to Taylor to his left, placed Chris and Katherine to his right. Boot reveal?   Top

Fishercat 4168 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 05-10-06, 10:07 PM (EST) 44. "RE: Finally, Some Results" LAST EDITED ON 05-10-06 AT 10:21 PM (EST) I personally love it. Not so much because I don't like Chris' performances, just the idea that the line to kiss Chris' ##### was three judges long on a weekly basis as long as he didn't do hard rock. And some of the fans that aren't here are crazy too. Paula's reaction was priceless. Almost as good as the Constantine elimination. My personal favorite topic title on the official forums? "THIS IS THE NEXT SADDEST DAY AFTER 9/11" Granted, the response by everyone was that this person needs a psychologist, but still.   Top

"RE: Finally, Some Results" I can't wait to hear Chris do more hard rock..hopefully his Cd won't be American Idoled like I hear Bo's was... Of all the contestants in all the years of the show, I love Chris the most..his type of music, his voice, his looks, his personality, his story...his everything...I'm going to really miss seeing him every week, it just came a few weeks before I thought it would... Ok start making your CD NOW Chris..and I can NOT go to the AI tour...I couldn't stomach the other 8...maybe Bucky and Chris can come to Pittsburgh alone..whaddya think Glowie, geggy?   Top

aquariaqueen 2616 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Survivor-themed Cruise Spokesperson" 05-11-06, 00:04 AM (EST) 68. "RE: Boot: Chris" Chris left, I feel, due to complacancy of the voters. It's another example of thinking someone you like is safe since let's face it, he's been safe since he stepped into the audition room. He didn't get the votes. People who wanted to make sure their person, whether deserving or not, stayed, voted. Does it work out that the most talented stays? Not always.   Top

kathliam 3669 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 05-10-06, 09:20 PM (EST) 24. "Seriously, Results This Time, I Swear " Who is bottom group, Taylor-Elliott or Chris-Katherine? Taylor and Elliott are safe. Chris and Katherine are bottom two. Who goes home tonight? Ryan asks Simon who he thinks is going home, he says Katherine based on last night. (Bear with me, I want to get this verbatim. *thud*) Ryan tells Chris and Katherine a lot of people predicted both of them could be in the finale. A lot of people predicted Chris that you could be the next American Idol. *screams from audience*. Chris, you are going home tonight, the journey ends. America, you have spoken and Chris is off the show tonight. Katherine is safe. Simon looks stunned and pensive. *thud* Chris is in shock, obligatory retrospective.   Top

"RE: Seriously, Results This Time, I Swear " LAST EDITED ON 05-10-06 AT 09:51 PM (EST) Ok that sucked...It reminds me of AI3 when Latoya was out at F4... Glowie, you were right, I'm pissed off he didn't win..I wanted to just go thru my tv and hug him... The only thing that makes it better is that he won't be so controlled on his CD Ok Taylor can win now VFTW Simon was right to be "pensive" he just lost a lot of money and he knows Chris is the best of the 4 Well I did what I could by voting this just really blows   Top

"RE: Seriously, Results This Time, I Swear " LAST EDITED ON 05-10-06 AT 09:36 PM (EST) When are the judges going to learn NOT to try to manipulate the America public aka voters? I think that a lot of people felt Kat got an unfair deal last night. (How many would have been up in arms if they made each male contestant sing two Barbra Streisand songs?) And by the remarks the judges made, they put her in the "underdog" position. So here's what I think happened. Chris seemed "untouchable" because he has been the judges #1 pick all along. Besides, he has struck quite a few as "boring" lately. So his votes declined overall. I think Elliot picked up quite a few of Chris' votes, because people thought he would need them more. And others responded to the fact that Kat was the "underdog," so to speak. We don't like people to be treated unfairly. I actually voted for the first time this season, last night. For Kat. Maybe there were a lot of people like me. I hope it comes down to her and Taylor in the finals. Elliot is just "meh" for me. Taylor's got personality, as well as a cool voice when he's on the right song. Kat's got - well - there's just something about her. Tommy Mottola saw it. Andrea Bocelli and David Foster saw it. (And Andrea is blind!) She's got something. Not to mention, she's a beautiful girl, which can't hurt.   Top

Chris, Taylor *and* Elliot are all "niche" singers. Chris is a rocker, Elliot's a jazzy soulful singer, and Taylor is along the lines of the Grateful Dead. In addition, the looks of all three will appeal to only that niche market. Kat is the classic "pop" singer -- she can sing in all genres, and has a look that appeals to all. I think she's going to win it all. The three guys might have good singing careers due to their exposure on AI, but Kat is the only one to please all markets. I'm totally not surprised it was Chris who went tonight. Not everyone likes rock, especially as interpreted through Creed. That's not to say he's not talented, he just does not have enough diversity in his performances, or widespread appeal to attract the votes needed to win the show. He could've done the absolute BEST rock performance anyone'd ever seen week after week, and he'd still not win American Idol, because that's not what it's about. He should've gone on Rock Star. I don't think Taylor has the universal appeal, either. I predict he'll go next week. Elliot's voice is amazing, if you close your eyes. I think he'll make the finals with Kat because his voice is universally* appealing, along with hers, and she will win. That's my prediction. *Note special definition of "universal" -- universally appealing to those who will buy millions of the Idol winner's records.   Top

He's got a great voice, and will make awesome records. And Kat, mark my words, Kat will be bigger than Kelly Clarkson.

His voice has a really pleasant sound which is easier to tell when he sings like he did last night rather than in his normal modern rock style (which I also liked most of the time). He is definitely the best performer out of the bunch and probably the one most likely to catch on with fans. Of course, with his style of music, he'd be in a band that would be writing their own songs and would NOT be on a "talent" show. I really like Katharine's voice, but I did not like a few of her performances. She needs to stay away from the Mariah Carey - Christina Aquilera type of singing (which I personally can not stand) and instead do something like she did the country week or the current charts (both great performances) or when she sang "Come Rain or Come Shine" and "Until You Come Back To Me" (also great performances).

I've heard it said that Paris and Kelly will have safe harbor if they get good advice and play their cards right. Chris should do well enough. Of the three remaining, Elliot probably needs the title most. He has a nice voice, displayed better than previously in his brief part tonight. His hair and stage presence have definately improved, but he still needs a lot of coaching to polish him for a career. Katherine has overcome her 'chubby girl' body shame and has the family support and public appreciation to leave now if it had been called that way, but I think she could benefit from being handled as AI. Taylor will probably go to the end, but I doubt it will do him as much good as either of the other two.   Top

EMTBGRL 2514 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Survivor-themed Cruise Spokesperson" 05-10-06, 11:39 PM (EST) 63. "RE: American Idol 5: Final 4 Results Show 5/10/06" OK. The final four. I was in shock that Chris Daughtry was voted off. He didn't deserve that--tonight. I thought Tuesday's performances were kinda boring, but not the worst. Since he was voted off, I guess there's not a lot to say---Rockers seem to get a raw deal on the show. -- Daughtry was both true to himself and struck me as one-dimensional (mostly) as an artist. He had some good nights. Most of them. But, if a viewer wasn't into the whole "Rocker Thing" they weren't voting for Daughtry. That was both his strength and his weakness. Katherine McPhee. Sorry, Simon was correct. Her first song did come off like a spastic, shrieky Grease-revival performance, complete with Elvis impersonations. She isn't Taylor Hicks and should not have tried to act like it. And, who didn't want to be able to sweep her hair AWAY from her face? McPhee's second song? She forgot the lyrics, and tried to cover it by singing to the back of the stage. Terrible! The snafu was obvious. At this point in the competition? Unexcuseable. That's not the same as being forced to sing lyrics from a famous man. I don't see this as "underdog" I see it as "underwhelmed." I didn't vote for her. McPhee should have been voted off based on Tuesday's performance. I think she believed that, too, based on her surprised look when Daughtry was announced as the one going home. I think she should be thanking her lucky stars! She really needs to step it up next week. Kat the WORDS *are* important, too. I have definitely lost a lot of the McPheever. She will have to do A LOT to impress me Tuesday night. (But, hey, she got to pat Kermit-The-Frog on the head!) Elliott Yamin is no "looker." The Tracy Gold aka "The Radio Chick" (DJ) referred to Yamin as "Ugly as a Lemon Shark, but a Lemon Shark that can sing." I agree with the DJ. If you don't LOOK at Yamin, he CAN sing. He does not LOOK like "An American Idol." Then again, that's part of his charm, too. I mean, C'mon, do we want our next AI to look like Priscilla Presley, the prettiest mannikin around? I know I don't. Taylor Hicks---Jailhouse Rock was a risk. It's one of Elvis Presley's signature songs. Since Taylor has established himself as a goofball, he could get away with the gyrations and signature spazzing without seeming fake or forced. It was not my favorite song from Hicks, but I still felt he topped McPhee. "In the Ghetto" (Elvis, 1969) is not a song that I like. I can't help hearing Eric Cartman from South Park singing it. However, in truth, I would have found that song more disturbing sang by anyone but Hicks. As far as Hicks singing "Jailhouse Rock" again tonight? I thought that was weird. But, then again, Jeri Ryan asked Reeaaall nice-like. (Maybe they didn't want Seacrest to talk more than he had to??) --Like Elliott, Taylor Hicks does not have the American-pieish good looks. Also like Elliott, that's part of what makes Taylor Hicks endearing. Most Americans ARE average looking. I admire that Hicks never "washed the gray out" either. I don't think that Taylor Hicks has had the best voice overall throughout the performance. But, I was not surprised that he wasn't in the bottom two this week. He did OK first song, and as well as someone can sing "In the Ghetto" (I am not a fan of the lyrics) I am stumped at this point..I had predicted McPhee going home. Now?? imho anybody's guess...I don't have a clear prediction for a winner at this time.   Top

He will get a contract offer,more than 1 im sure. He will fullfill his dream and I for one will be there to buy his CD when it comes out as will alot of other people I know. He might be gone from AI but definately NOT forgotten   Top

I am looking forward to all the whining on this board about how great he was. Thank you America! Glad he is gone! Bye bye Chris! I will have a beer or 2 in celebration!   Top

"RE: American Idol 5: Final 4 Results Show 5/10/06" I started watching AI for the first time this year for a really miserable reason: trainwrecks. The trainwreck scene in "The Fugitive" led me to buy a really big TV. After the deliberate exploitation of various human trainwrecks during the audition weeks I found myself watching the show because of the talent in the final 12. They all had something going for them and I felt bad with every young hopeful who got their walking papers. Then came tonight and the massive trainwreck caused by the reaction of Chris fans on various boards. Somebody actually said it was the worst disaster since 9-11. This means they thought it was worse than the Indonesian tsunami and hurricane Katrina. I felt bad to see Chris go, but I felt worse to see the violent reactions of his supporters. The fans of Katherine McPhee got sore fingers from texting. They are organized in an almost military fashion to make sure she gets as many votes as possible. Jewish rabbis are sending out the message to support Elliot and Taylor has a massive and dedicated fan base. It comes down to numbers. For those Daughtry fans who threaten legal action, petitions, boycotts, etc. I can only hope they put their vigor toward supporting his career once the circus has ended. Please remember, this is an entertainment program, not death and destruction and blasted hopes.   Top

Sheila 2069 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Roller Coaster Inaugurator" 05-10-06, 11:39 PM (EST) 64. "Elliot" After watching both shows this week, I get the distinct impression that Elliott is being pimped by the judges, the cameras, the musical numbers, etc. The judges gushed over both of his performances last night. I assumed that the judges and I were watching different performances because there was really nothing THAT outstanding from Elliot last night. As for tonight, I thought he had quite a solo with the group song. Even when one of the other contestants was singing, the camera was on Elliot at times. I wouldn't be surprised to see Elliot win this thing after tonight's show. I think the judges know just what to say to influence the voters.   Top

archon 178 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 05-11-06, 08:39 AM (EST) 92. "RE: Elliot" Actually Koala, the mind control works pretty well. Not so great last night, but overall, the producers/judges can "swing" a veiwers perception a bit. Better spot to sing in... Better mood lighting for the song... Perhaps an on-stage musician (or two...) Better song choice... Better comments by the judges... Keeping the phone lines open for "at least" 2 hours... All in all -- they are pretty good with the mind control -- they have had 4 previous seasons to perfect it... I do not think Elliot will win. And please -- nobody take this the wrong way -- but I cannot see his picture on a 70 foot billboard in Times Square. Sorry -- just cant. Katherine? No problem... Even Taylor has a more "physical" appeal. Last night reminded me of same week in AI1 where Tamayra Grey (sp?) was booted on the night that Nikki McNuggets should have EASILY been booted. It sucks... but then, it does sell alot of Coke, doesnt it? Archon "You can get more with a 2x4 and a kind word than with just a kind word." (Marcus, B5)   Top

I looked over at the DH last night once it was announced that Chris was booted and said, "So dear, what are we gonna watch on Tues. and Wed. nights now?"

"RE: American Idol 5: Final 4 Results Show 5/10/06" LAST EDITED ON 05-11-06 AT 08:47 AM (EST) Even though I kinda knew it was coming last night, my jaw hit the floor. Chris was one of my 4 faves and started at the very very top. I'm sorry to see him go, but I really think it's MUCH better for him to be out now than winning or runner up. Chris would have been forced to put out a record of AI & Cowell's choosing rather than more what he wants to do & he would've been frustrated -- (One needs only look at Kelly Clarkson to see what could have happened with Chris -- while Kelly needed to win AI to start her career & her first album with AI was successful, Kelly is MUCH HAPPIER since she has been cut loose and found even more success with her second album and having much more control over it.) We haven't seen the last of Chris & I take solace in knowing this is really better for Chris (which is why I hadn't been voting for him the last 3 weeks, though I really like him). The look on Simon's face was P.R.I.C.E.L.E.S.S. Simon really thought he was going to run Chris's career and that was snatched from him. I really like Simon, but I don't think his management would have been good for Chris. I felt bad for Chris looking at his dumbfounded expression -- he truly looked heartbroken -- but I'm sure he had some calls last night & realizes he is better off. My theories why Chris didn't win? Number 1 -- While many of us on these boards love Chris's sound, it really is a smaller overall market in the U.S. Many people are not fans of Chris's genre. All 4 are really talented (even though I am not an Elliott fan) and they all deserve to win & all 4 appeal to different markets. Number 2 -- Chris really has played it safe and has been coasting the entire show. Elliott came from behind and has been improving each week & has been pimped by the judges BIG time for a few weeks now . . . Simon's comment Tue night, IMO, was a lecture to the voters: "Elliott, you DESERVE to be in the semifinals." While that doesn't make me vote for Elliott many people will be persuaded by that. Kat has been overly criticized by the judges and getting sympathy votes (she is seriously talented, though) and she's the only girl left -- that helped keep her in. Number 3 -- Chris has been expected to win since the beginning and people felt he was "safe" (I sure did). Thus less votes while people spent more time on who they thought "needed" their votes. Number 4 -- I think many people (like me) thought Chris would do better by NOT winning and let up on their voting. (See above.) Edited to remove siggie   Top

"RE: American Idol 5: Final 4 Results Show 5/10/06" Kat has been overly criticized by the judges and getting sympathy votes (she is seriously talented, though) and she's the only girl left -- that helped keep her in. IMO I think this is the major reason Chris lost. I think the unfair criticism of Katherine on her first song prompted people who don't normally vote to vote for her. I taped it and when I heard the criticism of Kat I picked up the phone to vote for her but I was too late, the voting had closed. I'd like to add that I'm NOT a huge fan of hers even though I think she is very talented. I just reacted to what the judges said and I was ready to vote for her as many times as I could. I think a lot of people did that. Moves courtesy of Syren   Top
