We've not enjoyed the show on tv so much in ages, made me think once again how great it'd be to have more entertaining and little less competition, to bring best of Idols and have some extra fun for everyone. No matter, all are winners, except me and especially my daughter, will be listening to Katherine and my younger daughter to Chris (her forever Idol). I think Taylor got the votes for being a friendly country guy -if the show was about congeniality he'd get my votes, he had fun and made us join in the fun, appearing more self-confident- a few years older helps, even if he was at times comical with his dances-we can all use more fun. It reminded us of the times when the "She Bangs" guy was picked as the winner on line, lol. We're fine with the fact Katherine took the 2nd place- it's almost or as grand as the top. Her voice will sing for itself. Wish we didn't have to wait so long for more Idol, GB

I'm there! Been waiting for the new season, although I must say-next year during the tryouts-I will be even more excited as a 16 yr old stunning, talented gal from here-is trying out. She was told last year when she was 15 yrs old-too young,but "we're keeping an eye out for you for next year"! Well, she turned 16 this past month. She has made a CD already & guest sings with a popular group in our area, about once a month. Awesome voice!

my top fave guy is still Casey Abrams love the red hair and that Jennifer said he was sexy. He said he was out to prove guys that look like him can be sexy. I think he is very cute and that voice is awesome very talented guy. I actually was with the judges in shedding a tear when Jacob Lusk sang he is one of those wow singers. Scotty he will be a country music star no matter what happens on Idol. james Durbin kicked it in gear. He is going to be the rocker for sure. Paul McDonald loved his rendition of Maggie Mae, so quirky in voice and movement but very appealing. I think the definite go home was Jordan Dorsey and he thinks so highly of himself too, after making every one audition just to be in his group that group night, I knew he was going to be a fail. Love the judges, they are doing a great job.

No biggy, Kath. We usually have fun with both when more than one thread is going. Yeah, her name Syesha (sp?). I thought she was pretty good, too. But Archuletta was great!
