American Idol Season 5

[Anita Cholaine]

I love Kellie Pickler, but mostly because of her personality...Lisa Tucker and Paris, are better, I think one of them should win....

Sara, I completely agree with you about Ayla Brown. I don't know how she made it to the top 24....

About the guys... I don't remember too much about them, but my favourite is Taylor... He looks like he's old, it's true, but I absolutely love his style, and the way he sings, of course....

[Roxyluvsme13]

As for Girls: Kellie P! She has a really sweet personality, and yay for her accent (GO SOUTH!)
As for Guys: Taylor! He's awesome, and I like his personality alot, too.

Well, I'm surprised by some of the responses here.
I'm a bit older than the average Idol viewer (45yo)
and I thought rooting for Taylor wouldn't be very popular.
I think he's a combination of Ray Charles and Michael MacDonald.
He is seriously 'dripping' soul. I'd like to see him be able to 'turn it off' for a minute, in order to seriously communicate with the judges, without seeming like a weirdo. (I think he did that for a second, when they asked him if he was nervous)

He is my favorite for male.

My favorite for female is Paris.

I don't like K. Pickler, I think we've had enough of the naive farm girl thing for a while.

Just for reference, my husband and I are professional musicians. We work with a lot of vocalists, for what it's worth.
We know absolutely nothing about charisma, style, or 'it factor'
We have no idea why this "Ace" guy is so highly recognized.
Is it 'it'?????? Sure isn't his vocal ability.

We haven't been able to predict the previous 4 idols with any success, but I am going to stand by my predictions.

Do y'all agree with who was voted off? I didn't really like any of them.

[Samantha Puppy]

Becky should never have made it to the top 24 - she shouldn't even have GONE to Hollywood. I definitely agreed with her getting the boot. I didn't see the other girl sing on Tuesday, but I would've loved to have seen Brenna go. I do NOT like that girl AT ALL.

I knew Bobby was gonna get it. Didn't see Patrick when he sang on Wednesday, but I thought the other guy to go would've been Bucky.

It's too early to say who I *reeeeally* like, but I'm warming up to Mandisa, Kellie P., and Ayla for the girls, and Ace and that cute little Kevin kid for the guys. Kevin won't make it too far, but God he is so sweet! Oh, I also like the other younger kid that sang the Jackson 5 song.

I agree with who got the boot, although I am with Jaime, Brenna needs to go. She's a little over the top for me, it's like in her mind she has already won. Take a hike girl.

[joanofark]

I like that Kevin too!! He is so cute! He said one of the most memorable things are when he got is cheeks pinched by the girls, and how he said maybe he might get a couple kisses next time!! I DO hope he goes far but I doubt he will..... I think a guy is going to win this season.

[.sarah]

I don't like Brenna either. She needs to get over herself, geez. There are quite a few people left that I hope get the boot, but I'm sure some will stick around because of the people that call in and vote for the worst singers.

My mom found this picture - Taylor Hicks with brown hair.

[pitc9]

For the guys, I like Taylor Hicks and Chris Daughtry and for the girls I like Lisa Tucker and Katharine McPhee.

[Flatcoatluver]

For the girls I like Mandisa..... but i don't like BRENNA GETHERS I think she kinda need to grow up.

for guys I like taylor and Kevin

[k9krazee]

Overall I'm happy with who left...for the guys I like Chris Daughtry, Kevin, Will and Taylor.
Can't stand 'Sway', I wish he would have been booted...

Girls, I like Kelly Pickler, Paris, and Lisa Tucker...I agree, I don't like Brenna at all!

[joanofark]

Overall I'm happy with who left...for the guys I like Chris Daughtry, Kevin, Will and Taylor.
Can't stand 'Sway', I wish he would have been booted...

Those are my favorite guys too! YES, 'Sway'- Needs to go!!

[Lobodeb]

Yeah, Brenna needs to go. Get over yourself girl and stop posing for the camera! Your attitude will get you no where.

I too like Tayor. That picture that .sarah posted makes Taylor look like George Clooney! Wow! I like Chris too and I'm sorry, but Ace's face makes me a little weak in the knees.

Of the ladies, I like Kellie (cuteness factor), Mandesa, Katherine, Lisa and Paris. The top 12 should should be loaded with talent.

I agreed with everyone that got voted off.

[gemini9961]

I'm sorry, but Ace's face makes me a little weak in the knees.

Ditto. I like Chris too.

[Kater]

Katharine McPhee!! (awesome name and spelling too )
I also like that she called AI on something we all suspected...
"Do you think the audition process was fair?"
"No, they let go of some really good people and kept people who were pretty."

I didn't see the episode with the guys performances.
