I think Taylor is going to wind up higher than that. And where is Katharine? I realize not everyone is as impressed by her as I am but I think she is fabulous, and will wind up with a record contract no matter where she finishes in the competition.

At this point they're all good IMO. I think Kevin and Bucky have to go, but apart from that would not be disappointed to see any of the others win.


>After watching last night, I have changed my favorites again. Some seem to grow more confident after each performance and some don't do as well as they have in the past. The song has a lot to do with it too. Every week is new of course. The problem is that people vote for their favorites and not necessarily the best singer and performer. I'm now doing the same :o)

>>Any predictions for American Idol tonight? They are all going to do 50s songs. If Tweety Bird, a.k.a. Kevin, takes on Elvis or Sinatra I swear I am going to jump from the nearest bridge. (Kidding, even if it has been a bad day).

>>You may or may not have seen that Simon has picked his finalists -- Kellie, Taylor, and Chris. Jerk that he is, I understand he has a good track record predicting winners. I can't argue with any of his picks but what about Mandisa? What about Katharine (my personal favorite since the auditions)? And I think Lisa is the best of all of them, although last week's vote made me realize she isn't going to be the winner. Her voice, stage presence, and confidence are absolutely scary for a 16 year old.
