American Idol Season 5

He hasn't said yes yet, and, yes, he's under contract with AI at least through the end of their tour. Also, this is a great opportunity for him to launch his own career, so he has a choice. These are what I refer to as "luxury problems." Go Chris! I'll buy your albums!

"Daughtry, who dreamed of becoming a rock star while working in the service department at a Greensboro car dealership, told reporters earlier Thursday he was considering whether to pursue fronting an established rock band or launching a solo career.

"I'm a songwriter myself," the 26-year-old said. "To be able to launch my own career would be a dream" come true.

...

One music industry expert said it shouldn't be the end for Daughtry, who has a great opportunity to cash in as a solo artist because of the equity he's built on the show.

"I think he should definitely pursue that at this point," said Jeff Walker, president of AristoMedia, a Nashville-based company that develops and promotes music artists. "He's got a lot of people that like him."

Was the voting screwed up?

I heard that on the radio. I think it's possible.

I hope the voting was messed up and Chris is back and Katherine out. I don't like her.

Lmbo, uhhhh.

Can you tell me what this means?

Thanks.

Chris rocked at BOTH songs!! I personally LIKED Katherine!! Taylor did okay. My apologies to all of the Elliot Fans, but I thought he sucked . I've never really liked him. I think he's going. (Or at least should.)

Since the beginning I wanted Chris, Kat, and Taylor to be the final 3. I hope I was right!!

Well, if this mis-vote thing turns out to be true, you may have been closer than I thought.
But, look at it this way, if Katharine received a portion (or even all of) Chris' votes, it only 'rocketed' her into 3rd position. That pretty much means that Elliot still got a lot more votes.
I wish they'd had told us who got more votes, Elliot or Taylor.

I believe if Chris is indeed knocked out, his voting alliance will go mainly to Taylor.

If you like spoilers, this website has been pretty right on for who is going home each week. This was posted prior to Wednesday nights results, and obviously they were right about the bottom two. You can look there to see how many votes they say everyone got....

LMBO: Laughing my butt off Sorry about that!!

I didn't really care that Chris left, I was never that crazy about him anyway. Elliot is pretty good and so is Katherine but I just love Taylor! I hope Taylor wins it all!

Wow, Katharine has such an attitude. She really gets on my nerves sometimes. The faces that she makes towards the judges. Come on!

What's the theme for tonight?
Can't wait to watch!

Chris is actually luckier than anyone who wins Idol. The winner has a ten year contract to idol. Chris has been offered to be the lead singer for Fuel. He and the winner will most likely get the same amount of money. At this point in the competition, there are record deals sitting out there just begging for the contestants to be eliminated. They'll probably be called the night they are eliminated. So really, even though this is wrong in just about every other situation, the phrase "everyone's a winner" seems to fit this.

I know!! It's like she thinks she's the best performer in the world, and when the judges don't really like what she's done, she claims it's not her fault or they're being too hard on her - oh please! If she does a bad/semi-okay job, she just needs to recognize it - her first song was NOT good... and her third song wasn't really all that great either. So even though she will make it through, she needs to realize she has flaws! She's not perfect.

I agree 100%!!
She said "Why are you being so hard on me this week"
Hello!!! Honey... you are one of the final 3!! Like it's a shock that they are being hard on you! DUH!!!! You're one of the best of the best, if you think the judges are hard on you, just wait till you release your first album and see how hard the rest of America is going to be on you!

SOUL PATROL!!! Go Taylor!!

....I miss Chris...
