Here Today... Gone To Hell!

It was the Soul Patrol versus McPheever, and Taylor Hicks has prevailed!  i don't watch this show but I thought McPheever would win.  :-\

I don't watch the show either, and had no pick!

Yay!  I should have saved my A. Idol mentions in the Desperation thread for this thread!  :confused:

...Taylor's a true entertainer.  McFee's a pretty face, a nice set of ta-ta's, and a personality that comes off as forced, artificial and manufactured.  McFee was the Ivan Drago to Taylor's Rocky.  She was the one trained at a fancy conservatory...he is the self-trained artist.  She was the spoiled little rich girl...he can identify with the work-a-day Joe.

Taylor Hicks...congratulations!!!   :beer: 

Honestly, Mcphee sings much better. I was originally a fan of Taylor Hicks, but his schtick grew tiresome. Mcphee definitely has more talent. I figured Hicks would've fallen on the wayside with Pickler (who started out in a sweet innocent way but became very annoying). It really is a shame that Daughtry got voted off, he was better than all of them. Plus I thought he would've got the female vote, I read an article a couple weeks ago that said that 72% of the people that vote are female. It also amazes me that Bucky Covington made it so far. That really annoyed me, he lives about 30-40 miles south of me and all the attention he received around here was sickening.

what a hick...

thats cool - I thought he was a bit different

is jay  leno going to have him on now and act like brothers or something ::)

Had a feeling he would win. ?He is a great show man up on stage, compared to the stiffs in the competition.

I watch this program from time to time. ?I tunned in last night, just before the winner was annouced, when they were both singing some duet together. ?Hicks outshone McPhee by a long shot.

Glad he won.

Won... can you believe something like 64 million votes were cast?? ?Incredible!

Did anyone watch the entire show last night?  I fast forwarded through most of it.  But that guy that thought he was Clay Aiken was hilarious.  And Clay Aiken looked kind of odd, didn't he?

Clay Aiken is odd.

I gave up watching the show when Chris was voted off.  I wasn't a particular fan of any of the remaining contestants.

I am a bit surprised that McTa-Ta's didn't win.  That rack alone (and the way the wardrobe people dressed it...yes IT..those things were like their own contestants) I thought would garner enough votes to carry her through.

Taylor seems nice....in a bar room bluesy "The Commitments" kinda way.  But marketing the guy is gonna be murder for them.

I heard Daughtrey did a song with Live...if anyone sees that up on youtube, or has sees it for download somewhere, I wouldn't mind seeing that.

I DID catch the Prince performance, during one of the "Lost" commercial breaks.  I gotta say.....putthing that performance on just before the announcement was a complete bonehead move.  It just accentuated how "not ready for prime time" both the Final 2 are.  Hell, that performance would make most of the rest of the music industry look "not ready for prime time".

Actually the both kinda died off at the end...and from his performances last night...elliot maybe shoulda won IMO

and whats with the "first singles"? the suck big time :rant:

Taylor's quirks and faces are annoying

McPhee is gonna be amazing once she gets some professional training : ok:

the clay aiken part was funny...I bet that guy crapped his pants :hihi: and when crazy dave fell off the stage :rofl: he prolly hurt himself

hooray :P

Don't they always?

Taylor Hicks is the most talentless american idol finalist ever.

nah he's a good singer and performer, actually there were a few that coulda won it this year....Hicks just won over the fans with his dances and faces and mannerisms : ok:

I thought that was rubin  :hihi: The velvet whale

Chris Daughtery should have won...but if it couldn't be him, Taylor is a much better choice than the chick...I'm tired of girls winning.  I heard Chris sang with Live, too...would love to catch that.

I only saw a few episodes, and I also would've liked to see Chris win the whole thing. But I'm pretty sure that with his voice he'll get a record deal. Althought I'll admit that there are a few pretty big bands with singers just like him (voice wise).

I never really watched the last two seasons, but the first girl kelly clarkson that won I think has a great voice...I'm not out there buying her albums but it's kind of hard to miss the music... That song because of you sounded pretty good./.

I don't think it matters who wins, you just pick the most marketable person, does AI own their rights anyways..?

Who wants to see some old looking dude on trl ,? I guess all the idol sheeple willl buy anything anyways..

only episode i've seen of the american one was where that taylor hicks boy was auditioning. i'm actually really happy to see him winning as he was an average to ugly guy with a non-mainstream voice.

hopefully he'll acually make some good music rather than just sugary commercial modern shite.

There are some user comments from what people thought of the american idol finale. It's funny as hell.

American Idol is responsible for the downfall of music.

Kelly Clarkson is great but the rest are complete pieces of shit.

This Taylor guy looks older than my dad and cant sing for shit.


American Idol?

Double chinned,premature grayness and Lame?
Lets hope not.

This part of your post cracked me up.  That's all this chick has had her entire life from cradle to now is "professional training."  She even trained at some prestigious conservatory for the arts in the northeast.

The most talented vocalist in that competition, hands-down, bar-none was Mandisa.  Mandisa didn't win because she weighs 500 pounds and unfortunately for her, there's a huge bias out there against folks who are morbidly obese.  She was easily the most talented vocalist in the competition and on the finale show...and that's including the Mary J. Blige's, Dionne Warwicks, Meat Loaf's (oh god was he awful?), etc.

Nice guys don't always finish last.   :yes: 

Lets not forget that she also associated herself with an anti-gay religous writer.  That probably had some influence in her departure.  Probably more so than her size. 

remember Hicks & the rest of the finalists will  never be hotter than they are right niw. Chris has a shot of an actual career since he is truly legit and very talented. As for the rest of them, remember Fantasia......won 2 seasons ago and nowhere to be found.

CHris was asked to front the band FUel , they were so impressed, of his rendition of Hemmorage.

I'll give you 2nd most talented.  Remeber, Prince performed. :)

her mom taught her or somthing i thought...and she over sings...once she is taught to control that she will be pretty good IMO

the final was  shown today in the UK. I have to say i don't feel the tension with American Idol like i did with pop idol and X Factor
