Journey Over for E-Train

It is so sad to say that Elliot Yamin will not be in the Kodak Treatre competing for American Idol. He was eliminated in the final three showdown. And I'm kind of disappointed. First, Chris Daughtry........ then, Elliot....I'm just speechless. Now, I wonder if Elliot is really the one that was suppose to be eliminated. What I mean is, what if they have already picked a winner. Throughout the competition, Katharine is like as if she gets imunity from being eliminated. Just think about it, she got through even though she sang badly (Elvis week). The apology from Simon is kind of fake to me. Are there a conspiracy? This gives me something to think about......

Thoughout this competition, there are three contestants that I really like. Chris Daughtry, Elliot Yamin and Taylor Hicks. To bad, Chris and Elliot didn't make it to the finale...

Elliot Yamin
It's a pity that he's not in the finale... I think besides Taylor, Elliot actually did quite well. It's just that Paula picked the wrong song for him and both Randy and Simon picked the perfect song for Taylor and Katharine.. Clive Davis is said to be behind a lot of great stars's career includes Whitney Houston. But his song selection for the top three leave many scatching their heads. Of many good songs to pick, he chose 'Open Arms' for Elliot which I think not Elliot type of song. The song the Paula picked is good but lack of the WOW factor. So, Elliot unable to create a special moment in the songs. Did you listened to Elliot's last song? He might be spreading a message by choosing that song. Once someone is out of American Idol, the person is easily forgotten. Let's just hope that Elliot won't be one of them. Let's just hope someone give him a recording deal too.....

Katharine McPhee
I really think she is very lucky again. The song Clive Davis chose for her is weird. Her rendition of 'I Believe I Can Fly' was so weird because she made so many changes to the song. And I believe she had a problem singing high key with a loud voice. It sounded like a cat screeching. She sang three songs ; one of the song was great and the other two was boring and forgetable. No matter how inconsistent she was, she still gets through.

Taylor Hicks
The Soul Patrol is in the finale and I hope he will win but what I hope may not come true... He's the best in this week's top three... I think the music arrangement of 'Try A Little Tenderness' helped him a lot. I actually didn't expect him to be in the final. But he's my pick to win.
