    American Idol - Who's it going to be?
    So, who do you all think is going to win? Taylor or Katherine?

    My vote is Taylor, we need someone unique to win.

    :D

    Go Taylor!

    He's been my favorite from the beginning, but I never dreamed he'd make it to even the top 12.

    Mine too, but I had a feeling he would go to the bottom 4, but never this far. We need someone original, although he does remind me of a younger sober Joe Cocker.

    I think Taylor will win, too, but I'm also very surprised that he's still around. He's very good, but I never thought he'd make because he looks so old, haha. But I'm very happy for him, as he deserves to win!

    And isn't he from Alabama? So if he wins, that will be the second winner from Alabama, right? Reuben was the first.

    Btw, why did we start a new thread?

    I missed last night's show. :(

    But I'm still assuming Taylor did well and will likely win tonight.

    Oh? Was it a boring show? That's good to know, haha. My sister-in-law and her kids are visiting right now, so we have a full house (SIX children under 10 and 5 adults! ) and we had a BBQ until after 10 pm last night and I totally forgot about AI. But I won't miss it tonight!

    Oh ROFLMAOOOO!! SPOILER ALERT!!

    You gave it away before the ending (it is still on here, just started 20 min ago actually. I think we are behind you time-wise). Anyway I figured he would win anyhow!

    Oh haha no biggie. It doesn't bother me to know early, especially since I may not get to watch the ending!! I keep getting distracted by kids. :rolleyes:

    Oh HEY speaking of spoilers haha, I'm chatting with a friend who is an hour ahead of me, and she says Clay Aikan was on and he is unrecognizable because of a new hairdo. I really want to see that!!

    I heard that more people voted for American Idol than voted in the last Presidential Election.

    I can't find a link to the number of voters, but if this were true, all I can say is

    SHEESH!

    Yeah the show was awesome. Best show ever, with all the guest appearances.

    Well maybe that movie, American Dreamz, had a good point when it spoofed the president and had him as part of an American Idol - like show. Maybe would-be presidents should start appearing on reality based TV shows. They would certainly appeal more to the younger generations that way.

    The other thing though about the voting on American Idol... you can vote as many times as you like. For Canadian Idol, I spent the whole 2 hours voting, and voted for my three top favorites at least 10 times each. So if lots of people are doing that, the numbers aren't accurate to the actual number of voters.
