That's true, but I think Nat is talkin like, someone who placed 7th in the competition
There are still people I liked from season 2 and 3 that haven't put anything out at all...

I think it may be different this year because of the tour and the CD; this basically puts them all on an even level.
This is the first year I have watched AI. I must say this crop is extremely talented. So, hopefully people like Mandisa can go make christian albums, and Paris can belt. And Chris can find some band like....er....man, I don't even listen to main stream music! Staind maybe?

I'm very fortunate that I don't work in marketing. I think Elliott rocks. I know he's not the best looking guy. I really don't buy CDs for looks.
Taylor's joe cocker dude! This guy is going to kill one day! maybe not for the pre-teen market, but definitely a more mature market.
The South loves him.

Exactly. Like, remember Mario who dropped out last year? He was amazing! I'm guessing he dropped out cuz he didn't want that 'Idol' stigma attached to him. He shoulda had an album deal immediately, yet there's nothing there from him, or any other Idol semi-finalist.

But they've done Idol tours & CD's b4. This year's talent is so good, I almost wanna go see the live show. Almost.... (you just know its gonna be filled with 13 yr old girls).
And I'm not judging Elliot on his looks. I really just don't like his singing style.

Haha, michael doesn't either. he thinks he's meh. I understand. He has a particular style that not everyone is partial to.
Well, we'll see. Katherine is really talented. But I really would think it unfair if she continued to under-perform and win. She has been kinda meh lately. except with that drum song she did last week. that was awesome.

DialIdol, the automated voting site which issues predictions based on a computer analysis of busy signal rates predicts a surprising race for the bottom, offering the following scores for each contestant — the lower scores indicating greater likelihood of elimination.
Taylor Hicks -29.749
Elliott Yamin- 29.181
Katharine McPhee- 25.623
Chris Daughtry- 25.241
Meanwhile the "People Search and Public Information Search Engine" Zaba Search, which reports good results from the past shows, predicting the loser based on whom has been most searched for online, echoes the DialIdol results exactly. The site lists Daughtry as the least searched for, followed by McPhee, Yamin and Hicks.

Ive loved Taylor from the beginning but I dont think he should win. Hes a great performer though, so talented.
Ive never been a fan of Eliott's. He has a very good voice and obviously quite a bit of training but he just doesn't do it for me. Im not interested in watching him when hes onstage.
Chris was da shit. He was already at a professional level when beginning the competition. He just knew how to rock it every time. I never felt nervous watching him like I did with some of the others. His confidence really made him stand out for me.
Katherine FTW by far. Her voice is absolutely stunning. The last few weeks shes had some weaker moments but she has consistently proven her vocal skills. Also, the minute she steps onstage, you cant take your eyes off her. She has total star quality.
