**American Idol The Top 3

I really can't stand Taylor. I think he has a decent voice and is somewhat entertaining to watch for comedic value, but he really doesn't have that much charisma on stage as some of you have argued. Having energy and having charisma or strong stage presence are very different things. He has had some good performances, but for the most part, he is painful to watch.

William Hung will have a longer shelf-life than Taylor Hicks at the national stage. We'll all forget about Taylor in 3-4 months.

I also agree that the talent this year has paled in comparison to last year's. Many of the performances from last year were AMAZING. I really can't think of that many in the past 2-3 weeks that were as good as some of the top performances from last year.

I really thought Elliot had a chance to win it all, but I'm sad to say that he got screwed by AI producers.

Oh, and I also hate Paula.
