Idol Chatter

It all comes down to tonight America! Taylor Hicks and Katharine McPhee will fight to the death on live television, and one will end up with the #1 song in six months.

What number do I text to vote "neither"?

OK seriously, Miss McPhever or Soul Patrol Dude? Let the trash talk begin...

How about this:
Next season, rig the show so a native New Yorker wins.
Instead of, y'know, rigging it so a Southerner wins.

I'd rather the grey haired guy wins.

His dancing reminds me of Ian Curtis'.

I think we all lose regardless because that stupid thing is still on the air and actually cared about.

I never watched the show this year until my friends and I caught Taylor's audition. I've been rooting for him since--he's a chubby goofball with good taste in music who wishes he was black, and I identify with that.

If you like Taylor, you're dead wrong.

I can prove it with charts and graphs.

Last week, my Dad and I were perplexed over Taylor's audience, mainly about who it is. But thanks Matty G. Now I know that the Soul Patrol is made up of down to earth indie kids with a sense of humor.

If that's the case, count me in. SOUL PATROL!

Taylor, for being somewhat original by Idol standards.

He reminds me of Van Morrison, Elton John and Ray Charles rolled up into a giant ball. Except he proably can't write.

Come on, Idol rulez! Where else can you see a thousand deluded, earnest no-talent beetches get their dreams snuffed out for your amusement? Granted, the finals loses some of that luster because they are both assured a record deal.

As I predicted three months ago, the McFeemale will be the only one with her McMusic on the McCharts two years from now.

Let's stop all the bashing.

Rarely (Maybe once a year for the past five years) does a talent like Katherine McPhee come along to captivate a very much captive audience with her "come hither" stares, "bomb-ass" bangs, and an hourglass figure that'd put Jessica Rabbit's to shame. Oh, and that sass. She sasses the judges like no one before her, and most likely, no one after.

Bottom line: Katherine McPhee is knuckle-children friendly, Taylor is not; he's just too torpid for the knuckle-children to get behind. My penis votes to quell its raging (chafing) case of McPheever. VIVA LA MCPHEE!

Living in the town where Bucky is from (remember that douche bag) has taught me one thing: It takes no real talent to make it far on American Idol. Gotta go with Soul Patrol on this one just so the Ms. McPlayboy can get down to business.

I'd like to believe that Prince was never actually booked for the show tonight. He just showed up and said, "I'm playing. Deal with it."

He's Prince -- the motherfucker can make his guitar disappear (watch the end of the Rock Hall performance of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" on YouTube). What's Ryan Seacrest gonna do? Nothing.
