Re: **American Idol The Top 3
[ QUOTE ]
2easy, i'm not about to take it any lower to a fourth-grade girls argument over which teen pop sensation we like better. That being said, I onced derrived 100% of my non-gambling income as a writer, primarily writing as a music critic. But there's a definitive difference between someone with a classically "great" voice and someone who doesn't have it. Kat has formal training and she has natural talent. I'm not going to say that you...don't love and enjoy Taylor and his voice and his spastic dancing. But trying to act like (Taylor's) got some phenominal voice isn't just going to fly with anyone serious... [/ QUOTE ] i dont recall making any comment whatsoever about taylor, much less anything close to what you are talking about here. however, i did comment regarding your contentions about kat vs clarkson, kat's vs chris's futures and kat's, elliot's and taylor's future marketability, none of which did you address in your response(?) to me. somehow your "response" to what i addressed ...[img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]... became just another taylor-bashing/kat-pimping diatribe by yourself. maybe strawman arguements/obfuscation is stock in trade for a "professional" music writer/critic. again, a bit over the top, aren't we? p.s. starting fifth grade this fall?

Re: **American Idol The Top 3
[ QUOTE ]
hey dude, taylor sucks. that is all. [/ QUOTE ] I don't think he's a musical savior, trust me. But it speaks to my point that in defending Elliot, you can only rip someone else. Elliot reminds me, EVERY TIME he's on stage, of a high school kid in a lame production of Brigadoon. There are times when Kat reminds of this as well. There are times when Taylor reminds me of a lounge singer, but there are times when he is a hell of a lot of fun to watch and listen to. Regarding best songs, etc... We're all a little short-sighted if we think Kat's OTR was the best song ever performed on the show. It was easily, easily the best of the night, and perhaps her best this year. But I can't imagine a more impressive vocal performance than BB's a capella song last year. Unreal. And I would think we could remember others that were better.

Took my "earnings" for the season and put them to "earn" another 5% for 1 day (very likely) or 8 days (an almost lock): ELLIOT YAMIN 5 7 +1328 [/ QUOTE ] are you saying you shorted elliot @ 20:1 ? Risking $95 to win $5. . . damn that's scary. I agree there's a good chance he goes home tonight, but I don't know if I could say with 95% confidence that he can't win.
