I wanted Chris to win... but eh -- it wasn't meant to be.
Was it just me, or did this season feel like it didn't have as much talent as last season? I mean, honestly -- there were about 4 people out of the top twelve who I thought were awesome... Paris, Mandisa, Chris, and Taylor... I mean, the rest were GOOD, but last year it was like I could get behind more people because they were better... I dunno. Maybe I'm just crazy.
I liked Chris too and I was stunned that he didn't make it to the top 2 or 3. But I have the sense that he will be more successful without being *the* American Idol. I think he'd do really well as part of a rock band as opposed to singing commercialized pre-made songs. I know what you mean about the overall talent pool, though. Honestly, this time it wasn't the singing that sold me - it was the personalities. I admit that Katharine is probably a better singer technically than Taylor (Elliot too). But I'd rather watch a guy who has fun while he's singing than someone who sings great but is mechanical. I just wonder if season 6 will turn up any other brilliantly talented people. Or have all the gems already been found...?
This is Heather, Erik's friend. We met on Tuesday. I added you. Hope to run into you at SGMS!
Oh, and don't feel badly about having a guilty pleasure. Mine is Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie in "The Simple Life" - I own the first season on DVD. Seriously.
