Kelly is now my favourite. She is consistently great and like Simon said, she is humble and not a 'Diva' who would forget her fans. I hope everyone sees this.

Does anyone else think that Kelly's virtually a lock to win? I think she and Tamyra will be the final two, but at this point I'd say Kelly would win. Barring any huge blunders on her part, at least. :)

I totally agree. She is getting good comments from all the judges. At first I thought it would come down to Tamyra and Justin. But after last night I have changed my mind.
Goooooooo Kelly!! :)

I would love Kelly to win...until this past week, I thought Justin had it in the bag but his diva-move really hurt him. I think he's her biggest competition but she's got my vote!

I Like Kelly too and she has now passed Justin in my mind. I hope she wins. She's consistent and gracious every week. :)

Kelly really does have it all. Looks, personality, voice, style! She shines brighter and brighter with each passing week. Pretty soon we'll have to wear sunglasses to watch her perform or we'll burn our retinas!

I hope Kelly goes far. She is just too cute and sweet. She is a great performer and just seems to get better each week.

I'm so glad she got to go last, it left a burning impression in everyone's mind. How could they vote for anyone else now?

Kelly is really good. She's the only one I've voted for and I hope she goes all the way.

She seems so laid back and comfortable on the show. A natural star? Not to mention she has a terrific voice and is beautiful too! Paula was right she is the total package!
From one Kelly to another... I HOPE YOU WIN, and I am sure you will. Keep up the great performances! We will all keep voting 4 you!
Love,
One of your many fans

I have a question for you Kelly supporters. Do you think that she captivates an audience the way Tamyra does? I just don't see it. I love her voice, but she doesn't work the crowd the way Tamyra does. I think that is just as important as the singing. I personally don't like to sit and watch somebody who stands and sings. That's what puts Tamyra #1 in my book.

Being a singer myself, it has taken years for me to get a stage presence. Kelly has been consistently giving more to the crowd, and unlike the rest, you don't really see her looking into the camera but to the crowd. Kelly's stage performance is miles ahead of where i was at her age, but it does take time. Tamyra's good, but she's very mainstream - ie. vocal gymnastics. What I truly adore with Kelly is that she is a pure vocalist, and doesn't try to overdo it as I find most of the new talent are these days. I don't know how many people on this board actually know who Sarah McLachlan is, but that's who Kelly reminds me of in a way - when Sarah was coming up in the late 80's her style of performance was the same as Kelly's. It's a treat to watch Kelly perform, and I'll be rooting for her (jealously if truth be known) right to the end.

Just read on zap2it.com that some oddsmakers are saying that Tamyra will be the winner. Let's prove them wrong! Go Kelly!

btw, I think Kelly has great stage presence and does 'work' the crowd. I think she connects with them in a real way.

Loved her performance tonight! I love the song she chose and I thought she delivered it perfectly.

She was good,but still a step down from last week.

Everybody keeps saying that Ketchup...I honestly don't think so...We're used to seeing her do dynamic songs and love songs have a totally different tempo and rhythm...I thought she was pitch perfect and loved her and the song.

just saw Kelly... it was good, but it wasnt her best.. definitely not her song. It wasn't terrible though, it really wasn't... She'll get a lot of votes though, she has the right look that America loves and the corporate dollars like to support. She was good, just was so much better last week and weeks before..

I think that last night wasn't Kelly's best but I think that is true for all five singers. I still have her picked to win - I think she's awesome - Go Kelly!!

Here's a link to an interesting article on Kelly and how she might prove difficult to package:

I think Kelly will win too... not because she is the best singer, but because she'll get the most votes, demographically she's got the winning combination. And work those demographics she will. I think she is good, I think someone should sign her up to do BROADWAY, not teen idol, singing, dancing and performing for the general population of teens. Hands down, the best singer is Tamyra. But I don't feel confident that she will get more votes to win this thing.

If you listen to all of the comments that the judges have and the comments last night by Burt Bacharach (spelling???), Tamyra is the best singer and they know it and they are saying it. But Kelly's got this cute, flirtatious, right skin color thing working that the public will vote for.

I think Tamyra should win because she's the best one in the competition, and I think Kelly should be signed with someone too because she is talented.

>>But Kelly's got this cute, flirtatious, right skin color thing working that the public will vote for.<<

Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, J-Lo, Celine Dion... skin color does not sell records, good singers do. Kelly is a great singer.

I've also heard it said by the judges about Kelly: "She's got the best natural voice" he's heard in a long time. By Randy Jackson
"Thank God for singers like you" By Simon Cowell

Skin color has nothing...NOTHING to do with the fact that Kelly has an awesome voice and mass appeal. Personality and talent transcend that kind of thinking.

In a perfect world, color doesn't have anything to do with it, (Whitney, Mariah, J-Lo, Celine, etc. are not performing on American Idol where people are calling in to decide their fate.),
but... In this competition, I truly feel that people will vote on who they identify with (and I don't mean just color). It's all a matter of taste and preference. One person on this board said they didn't care for Tamyra's (or Justin's) last performance because they never heard the songs before. I've noticed that about a couple of her other songs as well, but what does that have to do with their talent? I didn't like Kelly's choice of song on Tuesday, but I thought she did a good job with it. She just didn't do it for me... again a matter of my personal taste.

I am one who truly believes that Tamyra is the better singer, and I will vote accordingly. Just as those of you who believe that Kelly should win will vote for her. Let's not make this into something it's not. Both girls will be huge when American Idol is all said and done.

No skin color doesnt have anything to do with whether or not people have a nice voice.. however since this is a competition where the public votes, lets look at how many more white people there are in the world available to vote and number two, if personality and talent transcends race, why are there so many minorities complaining about the entertainment industry and how it doesn't have equal opportunities across color lines? Unfortunately, the world, the people voting for this thing, does see color. Even if the people on this board don't see color and race, the voting public in general does.

None the less, I've said a couple of times that I think Kelly is good and I do. I think she should be signed by someone. But in terms of who gets the votes to win this competition, I think Kelly may have an edge that is directly tied to demographics. Of course, because the world isn't blind, my point nor anyone else's against it, will never be proven.

Quietstorm4, if you "truly believe that Tamyra is the better singer" then why are you posting messages in the Go Kelly Go folder?

Dancer I was responding to comments made above about color and voting. Sorry if this bothers you, but it didn't make sense to post this in another folder if the comments were made here.
