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 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.

I started a thread this morning about AI.. it fell to page 2, but here are the posts from it. American Idol last night Posted by lydia1959 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 18, 09 at 10:09 What did you think? I really liked Danny Gokey and thought both Anoop and the Braddy kid were good. The girls were mostly awful IMO... sadly I thought Tatiana was about the best of them. Follow-Up Postings: o RE: American Idol last night * Posted by danihoney (My Page) on Wed, Feb 18, 09 at 10:15 Same here. I love Danny, he's nice looking too. Sadly is exactly the word I would have chosen with Tatiana. Unless one of the other girls loosens up and really shows something, Tatiana has the better voice. But man that girl is just not 'right' if you know what I mean. She seems a little off and I can't see her winning this thing. I think she even creeps the judges out a little. o RE: American Idol last night * Posted by matti5 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 18, 09 at 10:52 Danny is my favorite, he has so much heart and soul in his music. I like Anoop dog as well. I thought the guys far out shined the girls last night. I agree that Tatiana did well, but she definitely creeps me out. o RE: American Idol last night * Posted by happy_go_lucky_gayle (My Page) on Wed, Feb 18, 09 at 10:57 I don't know the Blondes name (with the red tips), but we like her best of all the girls. Tatiana's just to creepy. I agree Danny and Anoop are very good. o RE: American Idol last night * Posted by samkaren (My Page) on Wed, Feb 18, 09 at 12:40 I agree with Happy go lucky. Don't know the names yet but #3 with pink and blonde hair was the best. Tatiana did well but Simon said it best.."you are a drama queen". Still she did a good job with the Whitney Houston song. Didn't think much of the guys last night. Can't wait to see who gets picked tonight. If Tatiana doesn't make it through I wonder if she will have a melt down on stage. SamKaren your resident DJ

Joann, something there might work IF I had high speed internet. I can't imagine how long a 2 hour show would take to download with the DSL that I have though. I'm really looking for a cable/satellite channel that would rerun the show later.
