Katharine McPhee is in the Final Two of American Idol

Yes that's right, as I picked it from the start, Katharine McPhee is in the final 2. In dramatic fashion, the votes were split almost equally amongst the 3 finalist. Alas, zero point zero something of you just didn't like the way Elliot Yamin looked and so out goes the soulful goofy Jew boy. To be honest, they are all so good, all 3 will get a record deal so no real losers. Even Chris the Rocker is being wooed but record companies as we speak.

I must confess however, something deep down inside me thinks Taylor Hicks will win. Why? I read (http://www.realitytvmagazine.com/blog/2006/05/american_idol_c_3.html ) that Elliot fans were pissed at Katharine for being so damn happy in contrast to Taylor who was clearly sad his friend is out. Elliot fans will vote for Taylor. Another factor is Taylor is the underdog, and we all know how the American public loves the underdog. PLUS the fact that Taylor is unique, like Clay was, except prettier. ALSO we love that Micheal McDonald/Joe Cocker/Bruce Springsteen voice taylor has. AND the fact that there are one too many Kelly/Brittany-type stars.

Having said all that, you CANNOT deny Katharine's voice. You CANNOT deny her drop-dead-gorgeous looks. You CANNOT deny her immense marketability. She has the ability to be the next SUPERSTAR in all mediums. We will have to wait and see how America votes. Remember, these are the same people that voted for that Bush fella........ TWICE.
