Well here we are it's the final of American Idol Series 5, after all those weeks of the good, the bad and the ugly it's down to the final 2.
Katharine McPhee and Taylor "The Silver Fox" Hicks will sing 3 songs each tonight and then tomorrow the results will be in and we will have a new American Idol!!


Katharine is going to start first

Singing - Black horse and the cherry tree
I think she sings this ok - better than when she goes completely over the top- not sure I like this song though. Randy says she looked like she was having fun, and she sang it better this time than the last time. Paula says a fun opening but she knows there's more to come. Simon says good with a small g - it was a warm up and the occasion was bigger than that song.


Taylor Hicks

Singing - Living for the city(?)
Hmmmm nice jacket Taylor(!). He sings this type of song well and is really comfortable on stage. Randy says he always makes the songs his own, and he's hot tonight. Paula says she's got his dance down, she loved it. Simon says great start, good song choice, worst jacket ever - Round 1 to him.


I think Round 1 to Taylor


Katharine McPhee

Singing - Somewhere over the Rainbow
She does sing this very very well - I think this is probably the best that she sings in the whole competition. Randy says she worked it out. Paula says she has god given talent. Simon says round 1 she was slaughtered but he truly believes this is her best performance of the competition - she is back in it.


Taylor Hicks

Singing - Levon
What can you say Taylor just suits these kind of songs. Randy says nice song but he thought it was a bit pitchy. Paula says it was just Taylor getting into the song. Simon says probably not as popular as the first song, he thinks Katharine takes the 2 round all to play for in the 3rd.


Round 2 to Katharine I think


Come on Taylor I really want you to win. Now the contestants will sing their debut songs, so we will see how they sound on an original song.


Katharine McPhee

Singing - My Destiny
Well it's a bit sickly sweet for me - not my kind of song, I don't like it at all. Ahhh Bless her Dad's crying again. Randy says she looks amazing, sounded really good but he did not like the song. Paula says she is brilliant. Simon says she went from brilliant from quite good in one song - and everyone who wants to vote for Kat to remember the second song.


Taylor Hicks

Singing - Do I make you Proud
Well it's a better song than Katharine's but both songs are a bit average ( think they need better songwriters!!!). For me Taylor's was the best in round 3. Randy says he makes every song his own vehicle. Paula says he is better than that song - but he was good. Simon says if he was right and the show was tied after round 2, then Taylor has just won American Idol - I think that means he liked his song better than Katharine's.


For me Round 3 was Taylor's.


So that means that I think based on the performances tonight that Taylor Hicks will be the new American Idol - I really hope that he is cos he is better than Katharine (in my opinion).

It's finals night, and we get to see who the final two are.


I said last night that I thought Elliott to go, I actually think Katharine has been the worst over the last few weeks, with the exception of her second song last night. So we will have to see what happens.


Last night there where 50 million votes!!!


The contestant got to go home last week


Taylor Hicks went home and ate loads of southern food - did loads of promotions and interviews. He even had a parade and Cheerleaders!!!! and of course he got the keys to the city from the mayor. He went to a shopping mall in Hoover and of course it was packed and he sang. The govener declares a Taylor Hicks Day.


It's all going to be the same for the others as well - I just wish we didn't have all the filling and that we could go direct to the results.


Now he's singing - Takin it to the Streets by the Dooby Brothers from the American Idol CD - and he's sounding good.


Now Katharine McPhee's up. She went home and of course lots of promotions ans interviews, she went up in a helicopter to her old school and the cheerleaders made a cheer for her ( how sweet) - Oh and she gets her own day as well, what a surprise!


She's singing - Think by Aretha Franklin, off the CD - she's sounding ok.



Elliott Yamin went home and oh surprise did lots of promotions and interviews!!! of course he gets his own day as well. He go back to where he used to work and then back into town to sing for them all. He also gets a parade but where are his cheerleaders??? He throws the first pitch at the ball park,


He's singing - Moodys mood for love (I think) - he did this one before I think it's his mums favourite. Ahh Bless




At last the results are coming up after the break


They've brought Clive Davis on and he's waffling about how good AI is and how all the contestants have done from previous AI's - JUST GET ON WITH IT and give us the results.


Ok here we go


33.06% - 33.26% - 33.68% That's how the votes went - it was that close.


Elliott Yammin goes home tonight - I got it right but I wish I hadn't.


So our final two are Taylor "The Silver Fox" Hicks and Katharine McPhee - I really hope that Taylor Wins.

Paula Abdul is saying there isn't an ongoing feud between her and Idol host Ryan Seacrest.


She said in a statement to the Associated Press

"Reports of a feud are ridiculous. We are one funny dysfunctional family. There's nothing but love."

But on Friday Seacrest told PEOPLE his relationship with Abdul has been "awkward" lately.

"I don't know what the deal is. It's very awkward."

Asked if he was speaking to Abdul, Seacrest answered: "No."


The tension between Seacrest and Abdul, started when each of them separately appeared on The Tonight Show.


In Seacrest's March 30 appearance, Jay Leno said that Abdul had seemed "a little loopy" to which Seacrest replied, "Well, have you listened to her album?" When Leno playfully asked whether Abdul had been drinking, Seacrest answered,

"Hey look, I don't look in their cups to see what's sitting before them on that table. But at times I feel like we have reeled her in."

Abdul shot back when she appeared on the show on April 10. When Leno asked whether Seacrest was dating Teri Hatcher since the pair had been photographed kissing.

"He only kisses the mirror," said Abdul. "And honestly, do you think Teri Hatcher is that desperate of a housewife?"

In a statement to the New York Post on Tuesday, Seacrest's spokesman said the Idol host was kidding about the feud, saying:

"At the core they all love each other and are thrilled to be on the show together. … Just like all families, sometimes they do have their days."

So that would make Randy the "anything for a quiet life" Father, Simon the "well I am always right" Teenager, Ryan the "see I can be funny too" Younger Brother and Paula the "Stick her in the corner" Dotty Aunt!!!

It was really wierd last night when she started crying, half the time you can't tell what she is saying and then she always goes on about how good they look - but crying that was something else!!

Paris Hilton makes her entrance at Hugh Hefner's 80th birthday party Saturday.

(Either that or she's of to the Rocky Horror Picture Show!!!)


Although you may think she's a tad underdressed, she is just doing what the invite said. The dress code for Hef's party at the Playboy Mansion was 'Lingerie and Pajamas'.


Other celebs in attendance at the Beverly Hills bash where Ryan Seacrest, Maroon 5's Adam Levine and Owen Wilson.
Hmmm I wonder what their PJ's looked like (I may have to try and find out)!!!

It's that time again one more person has to go from the American Idol Series 5.


Yesterday I think the worst person on the evening was Taylor 'The Silver Fox' Hicks, but I hope he dosen't get voted off, I said Madissa was also bad last night so I will go for her going home. I'm glad the Country and Western is over with for this contest, most of the contestants struggled with it. Hopefully next week will be better when they do the music of Queen!!!!


35 million votes last night.


Oh no we have to listen to Kenny Rodgers sing now!! Simon says he dosen't like country but he likes his songs. Here is his new song and I don't like it - surprise surprise.


Ryan has mixed it up he has spilt them into 3 groups of 3 - one of those groups is the bottom 3!!


Taylor in in group 1


Mandisa is in group 2


Elliot is in group 2


Paris is in group 2


Ace is in group 3


Kellie is in group 1


Chris is in group 1


Katharine is in group 3


Bucky is in group 3

Group 1 is safe yeahhhhhhhhh go The Silver Fox, as well as Chris and Kellie.


Group 3 is safe - Bucky, Katharine and Ace get to sit down.


Group 2 is not safe - Mandisa, Elliott and Paris - Paris is safe gets to sit down - Mandisa is going home - Elliott is safe. Well I called it right again - I am available for American Idol Series 6 if they want me ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!
