American Idol Revisited

Several weeks ago I posted this as my prediction on the top 5 of American Idol:

1. Ace Young
2. Elliott Yamin
3. Katherine McPhee
4. Paris Bennett
5. Chris Daughtry

I went on to say this, Of course, these selections mirror who I think America will predicably vote in to the final 5 and not indicative of who I think should be there. My top guy is Taylor Hicks and my top gal is Kellie Pickler, but neither will make it all the way.

So in essence I mentioned 7 top finalists and what do you know...I went 7 for 7. Now here's the rub, I think tonight's show made it very hard to cut down to 6 because everyone showed up tonight. Except my girl Pickler who at least was humble and goofy by telling America that she butchered her selection. Sidenote: Boy did she!

As the show draws closer to the final 5, I thought I would throw out who I think will make the top 3 just to see if I can do it. Of course I get nothing for being right other than the status of American Idol nerd, but I'm so fucking competetive I have to make everything in my life a competition to even enjoy it. As a result....

1. Chris Daughtry
2. Katherine McPhee
3. Taylor Hicks

Oh, that's right. I have changed my tune on Taylor Hicks in that I think America is embracing him as a talented, yet strange fella and that he probably has more fans that Elliot and Ace at this point. It's honestly a Chris/Katherine contest at this point, but a top 3 showing by Taylor would give me hope that watching this show isn't a waste of time. I can honestly say while we are on the topic that I officially have McPheever. The girl is sexy, has some curves and a wonderful voice.
