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

Ya'll don't forget to watch Idol tonight! The auditions are over but it will all be footage of the worst ones that they had not shown us on the audition shows. They might be showing more of the good ones as well, but I was only half listening and I may be wrong about the good auditions. How about those "door crashers" last night?? LOL! And I loved the cousins where the first cousin didn't make it and then asked the judges if it was okay to fool everyone outside and acted like he was really giving the judges "what for" when he walked out the door :). Then the second cousin made it through. Kristi

I'm one that will come in toward the end. I saw an Oprah interview with Steven Tyler and he is very honest about himself and his past life. He is a very good conversationalist. I like his funky self and they all are solid judges who will probably be more detailed in their criticism this year. I also like when they agree with me. That tells me I am learning from them just like Dancing With the Stars judges gives me a more critical eye.

Me!!! Just finished cooking supper....waiting for it to come on.....I think? they are doing the cuts tonite from the auditions.....not sure though Trin
