The young girl Paris near the end of the show, who did a Billie Holliday song, was phenomenal.
You guys also have to realize, they are only showing like 5-6 good people every hour, and a lot of bad ones...yet 20-30 people from each city go...we are missing a lot of good ones I think.
Who knows...

Yes - we realize that - but some of the cities have had not many good ones (Greensboro had only 9 advance on day 2).

Guaranteed Top 12, maybe Top 5...

'Idol' twin 'sings' from Shelby jail
If Terrell Brittenum watched his performance on television's "American Idol" Tuesday night, he did so from the Shelby County Jail.
Brittenum and his twin brother, Derrell Brittenum, both of southeast Memphis, appeared on the show. And both had outstanding criminal warrants when their performances aired.
They're charged in Rockdale County, Ga., with forgery, theft by deception and financial identity fraud.
The case involves the purchase of a 2005 Dodge Magnum in June -- allegedly by using another man's identity.
Terrell Brittenum has been in jail here since Jan. 10. His brother is still on the loose but is expected to turn himself in, sheriff's spokesman Steve Shular said.
Fox Broadcasting Co. spokesman Scott Grogin refused to comment on the twins, or their status as contestants.
"We do not comment on the personal lives of our show participants," he said.
The 28-year-olds' Chicago auditions were taped in mid-September and portions of the show have already been taped in Hollywood.
The pair made it through the initial audition.
Georgia's charges against the pair, who attended Hamilton High School, were discovered by accident during a routine traffic stop.
Memphis police chanced upon Derrell Brittenum Oct. 30 at a BP station at 2134 Lamar, according to the charges.
Officers ran the tags on the 2005 Dodge Magnum and found the vehicle was stolen, and that the brothers had arrest warrants.
Derrell Brittenum was arrested and gave a typed statement to police, saying he knew he was in a stolen car.
His brother was arrested Nov. 2 on a fugitive charge.
Terrell Brittenum had given his brother another person's financial information, allowing him to buy the $23,175 car in June, according to Georgia's charges.
Both men were able to bond out in early November.
And since they refused to be extradited to Georgia, authorities there got a governor's warrant for them to be re-arrested for an extradition hearing.
Terrell Brittenum has a Shelby County arrest record for traffic violations and a 2000 misdemeanor citation for disorderly conduct and indecent exposure. The exposure charge was amended to disorderly conduct and he paid a $50 fine.
Derrell Brittenum was arrested in 1998 for theft over $500 and in 2000 for contempt of court and passing bad checks, court records show.
The extradition hearing date hasn't been set.

Bring it on!!!
I agree as well. And San Antonio. What a bunch of freaks! I am about done watching the sucky ones. I'm ready to see the real stuff. I mean, 11 out of thousands from the last 2 cities? What the hell? They better be damn good.Dback Jon said:
Seems like Paula is a bit more picky this year...anyone?

That young girl Paris can sing her behind off! Looks like the twins wig out on the next ep.
Taylor Hicks is a freaking stud. Gray Charles. He's flat out amazing. That Elliot dude with the jacked up grill is really talented too. Ace was very good, and so was Chris Daughtery. Two other guys were decent.
The women have more depth, but I can see Taylor Hicks winning this whole thing.

I'm loving Taylor as well...usually I like the girls more than the guys on this show, but this season, he and Chris are hands down, IMHO, the two best singers in the competition.

That Paris girl has her arse royally kissed every time because of her lineage.
That girl who sang last was pretty good.
The gray haired guy is pretty good. He's quirky and intersting because you're not sure how he is going to act on stage.
I thought he, Ace, and the guy who sang Shout were all pretty good.
But for the most part I think the field is not as good as in the past.
I couldn't believe my ears when Simon said that the guy with the beard was the best male vocalist ever on the show.

IF AND WHEN HEALTHY...
There is something special about Taylor Hicks, you can tell he feels, lives, and breaths music; it truly is his life.
You cant help but smile when he speaks and sings.
He is the only contestant--ever--on the show that has really exuded it. This guy will become a huge star even if he does not win Idol.
He is way more than pop and will probably be very under appreciated by the under 15 crowd that it so central to the voting.
It's funny that they brought up the fact that he was like Ray Charles, Joe Cocker, and Michael McDonald rolled into one, because I have been telling my wife that exact same thing since he first audition.
(Side note: anybody notice how much he resembles Robert Deniro in the movie awakenings?)

I agree with all of that. I hope to see him make a CD someday.
I do like Chris though, just as much...I'd have a hard time choosing between them...although I'd probably myself listen to Taylor more if they both made CD's.

From the guys - Taylor, Ace and Chris were my top favorites - in that order too.
The girls - they are going to have a stronger top 6 than the guys, but I think those 3 guys are going to be tough to beat.
