Tabby I didnt really care who won this year. Neither Kat nor Taylor did it for me. I truly dont think we will be hearing too much from either of them music wise in two years time.I think kat has yer eye on a movie career and maybeit will take off.

Years past, nobody ever really did it for me except Ruben. I did like him better than Clay. Last year, I was happy enough with the winner. I just cant recall any year other than the Ruben year where I was very excited about an idol.

I can remember who got on my nerves, Constantine for one.

Okay, I'm watching Larry King Live for the second time, having read all your comments on it, between the first and second viewing....I do believe that Katherine monopolized the interview, but I think that was because of the format, and not necessarily "blaming" her....you have two people that are answering questions...one who seems to take time to think about a question before answering, and another person who reacts much more quickly with an answer....And as my mother always taught me, and I'm sure Taylor's southern upbringing was the same way, one does not interrupt another person when they are talking, especially a gentleman interrupting a lady....As far as Taylor's comments about Elliott...I heard it as totally respectful and admiring....and actually, it reminded me of a big brother sticking up for a little brother! That is my

well see, i think clay should have won, i didn't hate constantine, fantasia irked the hell out of me and i loved taylor.
so, i'm not saying either of us cared or didn't care who won, i'm just saying we had different 'favorites'. which is fine!

I actually got the impression that Taylor WAS working in a bank while playing gigs at night...so who knows!

The other impression that I have gotten is that Katharine isn't a huge Taylor fan. She said on the interview with Ryan the morning after the finale that Taylor kept to himself and that she wouldn't date him. Again, so who knows? We are only getting bits and pieces of these people. I did, however, get the impression that Taylor and Elliot became friends. Taylor said he voted for Elliot after one of his performances that must have really impressed Taylor.

As for the American Idol execs "not being happy with a Taylor win" -- well, get over it. I still think they are wanting a "cookie cutter" pop star that they can mold into whatever is the current 'IT' style and so far on American Idol it just hasn't happened...which is a compliment to us as the American public not letting ourselves be manipulated into picking style over substance. If they had their way we would have had the Carmen Rasmussen or the Jasmine Trias' of the world - pretty, correct looking girls but a little light on talent!

Sorry I missed the Larry King Live interview. I even "wish listed" my TIVO to be able to find other Taylor interviews...a slight obsessions might be forming.

I read an article in one of the magazines regarding an interview with Chris and Entertainment Weekly. It said that his fans were upset that he was eliminated and planned on boycotting the show because it is biased to rockers. He apparently said he agreed. I find this odd considering it is his fans who would have kept him there with their votes. Were they voting enough or just expecting he would sail thru? How is the show biased to rockers, the judges loved this guy and Bo went far last year as well. Any comments?

I love Chris as a singer, but I don't think he handled his departure well. I think he would do much better to be gracious and complimentary to the show and his fans and believe he has the ability to carry his exposure on this show far -- but if he keeps (supposedly) badmouthing the process he might find himself on the outside looking in.

As far as people boycotting the show - it is over for this year and the ratings didn't apparently suffer greatly after Chris's departure. Our memories are short here in the good old USA and we will probably be sucked right back in next year -- after all, after I told myself I wouldn't I ended up watching all the lousy "rejects" shows at the beginning.

I found this interesting. Here is a sort of radio play data base. Now it doesn't track who is being the played the most, it tracks who is moving up the most.

Taylor is #1 in the AC Mainstream area.

I guess he is actually somewhere in the 50's for being played on the country stations, but the public part of this site only lists the top 20 for each category.

http://www.mmr247.com/mmrweb/AllAccess/jumpmenu.asp

If you click the links that say "Leaders" or "starters" on the individual pages next to Taylor's song, it shows which stations are playing his song.

Roxi, I agree. I don't think he handled his departure very well either.

I have to share this real story here that happened to me today. I shared it with my other group so I am just copying it to here
---

I wrote the local soft rock station to play Taylor's song. About 5 minutes after I sent the email to the DJ, he read it on the air. It was just a sweet email about how I am aching to hear Taylor's song, I thanked them, blah blah, just a short sweet email.

He didn't play the song but he congratulated Taylor Hicks on winning AI.

About 30 minutes later, he reads another email. This time from a Chris fan who was offended I requested Taylor's song! Said Chris is the one who belongs on the radio, not Taylor. It was in a direct complaint against him reading my email on the air. I don't understand how my sweet email request for Taylor could have offended anybody. It upset me a little until the DJ said sarcastically after reading it "And I would also like to give my Congrats to Chris for coming in 4th"...LOL


(btw, I LIKE Chris, but someone slamming me for requesting a song I thought was uncalled for, and apparently, the DJ thought so too..lol)

Tabbyking - we're stationed here in Germany and those Sketchers ads with Carrie Underwood are on bus stops and billboards everywhere here! Really weird to see an American Idol in Germany!

Naja - isn't it ridiculous that a "Chris Fan" would be upset that you requested a Taylor song. Good grief, there's enough room in the music industry for several of those Idol contestants to succeed. I think it's sad that so many of the fan groups are pitted against each other.

I agree, Chris is being a sore loser.

On Sunday I got to hear Ace sing the National Anthem at an arena football game. He did excellent. That boy has a 1000 watt smile that I could see sitting all the way in the nosebleed section!

As I've said before, if Chris is as good as his fans think he is, then he should be successful. There is enough room in the music industry for more than one person!

i really enjoyed chris but thought all his songs sounded the same, except for his 'soft' song, which i actually thought was really, really good.
i like his rock voice, but i like different sounds, too.
what i didn't like about chris didn't happen til after he was voted off. i do feel he has been somewhat of a 'poor sport'. doesn't he realize you catch more flies with honey than you do vinegar?! he would be smart to keep his negative thoughts to himself, so he doesn't shoot himself in the ass, er, foot.
there is definitely room for more than one person, as jimmer pointed out. but i'd prefer a 'nice guy'. just me! hoping chris gets over it and on with his talent.

Tabby - we're stationed in Wiesbaden, just outside Frankfurt. You'll enjoy Germany, I'm sure. It's been a nice adventure - but I am soooo ready to move back to the states! :-)

Just when the Larry King interview debate has died out, I'll rejuvenate it! I saw it for the first time last night (after reading many of the comments on this board) and this was my take on it.

Two people being interviewed. An "old soul" who has been working hard for over a decade to make it in the music business, and who, from what I can gather, has overcome a lot of obstacles in his life. And, a "barely not a teenager", beautiful girl who has been "auditioning like crazy" since--- she graduated from her conservatory of music school, probably paid for in full by Mom and Dad. One is a mature, wise artist who knows what he wants. The other is a happy girl who doesn't know what she wants, but will continue to have many opportunities handed to her. I'm not saying that to be negative about Kat. I think she's been dealt a great hand in life, and good for her for capitalizing on it. What I saw in the interview was Kat being "totally excited" about everything and Taylor choosing his words carefully. About Kat saying she wouldn't date Taylor, well, I should hope not. They are at very different maturity levels (if I'm seeing things correctly) and I can see why he would not be at all appealing to her. Give her a few years and she'll look back and wonder why she wasn't all over him!!!

I thought Taylor's comments about Elliot were accurate and very respectful. It may have seemed condescending coming from a fellow contestant, but Taylor has a lot of experience compared to other contestants. Not only is he older, he's even older than his age (if that makes sense). They probably looked to him for advice.

Anyway, what stuck with me most about the whole larry King show was Randy. How many times did he need to touch Kat? And I loved the comment "when you sing other peoples' songs, you're just acting." Hmmm, a good argument for letting the contestants sing original material (and even play an instrument or two).

My two cents worth.

From Aol entertainment site....

Rumors have been swirling that former American
Idol finalists Constantine Maroulis and Kellie Pickler are an item. Recently, Maroulis went shopping at Santa Monica's L.F. boutique and told store staff that he was looking for a "rock and roll look" for a "very special friend." The singer then admitted that he was in fact shopping for Pickler.

As he browsed through the aisles, Maroulis spotted a pair of lime green shoes emblazoned with polka dots and exclaimed, "These are so her." He purchased them along with a sexy black-and-white dress. Talk about having a personal shopper.
