katherine mcphee's time has come and gone she was the lame duck this week to bad she was the only woman left i thought that this was elliots last week but he was the best tonight
good-bye katherine
- Thread starter doinker
- Start date
I just meant that it did not matter what songs she sang there was no way she could possibly do much better that she did. Come on this late in the competition and they are still doing theme shows. It should be their own choices to demonstrate there talent in their own style.
IMHO it was unfair for Katharine to have to sing Elvis...I'd like to see the guys do Celine, or Whitney!!!!
I thought Chris was the worst tonight, he sang those "play it safe" songs once again! He keeps slipping in the back door, but I don't think he'll last much longer. Both Elliott, and Taylor were better than him this week. But that's just my opinion.

I am hoping you're right, because Katharine is such a cutie, but she was clearly the worst tonight. The way I see it, she has a chance if America doesn't want to boot the last girl or if her fan base kicks in as often happens when Simon is mean to someone. Elliott has shown he is vulnerable, per his bottom 2 finish last week, but he certainly raised his game this week.
An all boy final 3 is certainly a possibility. In AI3, the final 3 were all girls.

Soooooo not right!!
Chris is an amazing singer......no way he should have been voted off! Katherine was by far the worst performer of the week!!

Looks good on that bald headed sawed off son of a bitch. Ive had bowel movements that stood up would be taller than him.
we should know by now talent isn't the only factor in the voting. There are so many other factors that come into play that no one really knows who will win until the votes are counted.
My feeling is Chris already has a deal pending for a record contract with either Simon or Clive Davis.

See, some of you didn't want to listen.....just too many weeks of those "play it safe" songs, caught up to him. He doesn't have much of a vocal range, if he gets a recording contract expect another band similar to Nickelback etc.
To think some of you thought he was going all the way
.When it came down to Chris and Kat in the bottom two, I had a sneaking suspicion it would be Chris. I won't claim to be a musical genius like the bandit and say I saw it coming, but once it did, I think it was quite understandable.
If I may Monday morning quarterback a bit, Kat had a chance to survive, even though she sucked yesterday, because she is a cute girl, and I don't think America wants three not so great looking dudes in the finals. She has always had likeability, and when she doesn't do well, she's like all "oh well, I tried my best" about it, and even when she does do well, she seems kind of surprised by all the compliments. Taylor, as I am coming to realize, has a tremendous amount of goofball charm to him--his fans just love him. Elliott has probably shown the most improvement since the top 24, and he too, has a certain modest affability. Even if he is kind of funny looking.
Which brings us to Chris, the Idol long established as the favorite. Despite this favorite status, and his obvious confidence in himself, I think several factors worked against Chris. First, I just don't think America wants a rocker for its American Idol. I think Chris did a credible job showing he could sing other styles other than rock, but you could argue he never showed the versatility of some of the other contestants. Second, he seemed to peak back in the semi-finals, and seemed to be coasting through many of the past weeks. Third, he just isn't as likeable as the two other guys, and seemed a little too confident. So, while I wish I could have been clever enough to write all this yesterday, now that he is gone, I think is completely explainable. I wouldn't worry too much about the guy, he will do fine in this business.
I think it will be Taylor and Kat in the finals, and Kat will win. I think when it comes down to it, America always chooses the cute girl.

They are all good at this point!
Katherine is also a good singer...but she has trouble nailing the emotion of the songs. That is to say she hits the notes and looks good doing it...but the performance is still a little flat.
That being said I think the right decision was made...There are very few good covers of Elvis songs by women. His music just doesn't seem to cross genders well. Katherine was at a musical disadvantage and Simon and the other judges should have recognized that on Tuesday. It appears that the voters might have.
Bottom line...I think she will still go next week.

Let's not go overboard with the "math".
This is reality show, first and foremost. Talent counts of course, but so does physical attractiveness, personality, and likeablility. I agree with Spode, even though Kat had the worst week, at this point in the show it is cumulative performance that counts. Kat has built fans for 9+ weeks, they weren't going to abandon her because she had a bad week.
I have to believe that as the last remaining girl, and a hot one at that, Kat makes it to the finals.

I think that when they get down to the "Final Four" they should change the voting system to just vote for who you want to kick out, not who you like. Would give more accurate result, I think...
