		<description>love this guy. love love love.

Aside from the musicianship, the look, the act, and the positive attitude...

he's got that whole..."been struggling juuust long enough to not take anything too much for granted" thing going on.

Seems pretty definite that he could be voted off tomorrow and still have a devoted female following for quite some time.

Now if only every interview wasn't about his hair...</description>

		<description>Hey. Check it out DAWG. MTV news , yes THE MTV, is calling it for a Taylor AI win!!

http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1526144/20060315/index.jhtml?headlines=true

 "Who is the one to beat: You heard it here first: Taylor will win "American Idol." He defines unique, his love for music is genuine and his voice is so soulful. Even those dance moves are charming. If only they let him play that harmonica. Chris is solid too, but he's not as one-of-a-kind. McPhee-ver and either Paris or Mandisa will round out the final four."

		<description>Taylor is Bham's gift to the rest of us. He's not only very gifted, he's the most loveable performer I've seen in a long time. I'm not the only one. Did you not feel the love of the audience in that hall for him? They were so engaged about him, when he was caught sneaking his harmonica or whether to change his hair color!! He's fresh, unique, original, and supremely talented. His most amazing trait though is his ability to make people smile. What a gift that is for this day and age!!

They might be slanting the title to Chris, but the growing legions of Taylor fans will have something to say about the AI end results! We don't want Taylor off the show for a long, long time, if ever. He's now AI's biggest ratings draw IMHO. That's going to become an even more powerful factor as time goes on...</description>

		<description>taylor was great except he need s to reduce his movement in the stage. Enough of this fun and goofy presence. He heas to geive commanding presence. To do that he has to sto dancing and stop woohoo in during singing.

other than that i have some conspiracy theory.
Chris gets special treatment from AI producers and SIMON.

My issue is this.

1. Chris gets to play ROCK SONG every week even on THEME NIGHT which supposed to test singer versatility. BUCKY the country rocker gets nothing.

2. Chris gets LIGHT SHOW.

3. Chris gets heavy guitar background to suppress his awful vocal screaming.

4. Chris gets last spot every week.

5. Simon start to lie to keep CHRIS on top , so he can win it all.

6. The comments like "chris made it own" is just pimp act. It was RHCP version. This judges don't even know that. What a....

7. Chris may not be faulted except missing notes and hiding behing one trick pony uptempo rocker image.

8. it is insult to for all other contestants that he gets to use loop hole and  can stay at comfort zone and others like elliot gets critcized.  Something not right with this show. simon is a hypocrite.


This show may be popular but today it showed this show become anoter planned predetermined CRAP.

Today i lost my respect for the show. I will see one more week , if it happens again that will be the end of american idol for me.</description>
