I forgot to vote again, but I guess that is good for everyone but Katharine, because she would have had my vote tonight. Now, I am wondering why she hasn't shined like that in the past.

But you still can! 1-866-IDOLS01 or 1-866-4365101 bc I know you are gonna vote for Taylor! SEriously, you still can vote. I think Katherine was 7 or 8??? Which would be 866-IDOLS-07 or 08...Happy Voting!

Taylor must of been sooooooooooooooooo tired of picking out songs or maybe he just Loves John Denver, or maybe Kenny Rogers is NO help at all! Seriously, what was Taylor thinking singing that song. He had sooo many to choose from that would have showcased his talent. Oh well, next week is another week. I actually liked Kellie's performance. Overall what a disappointing night. They just don't go very deep when searching for songs. Surprised by the two Keith Urban hits. That was a gamble but they both did pretty well, I'm surprised to say, especially about Ace. He actually looked better last night than he has in the past and also Bucky did that song pretty well too. Wierd night!scrltbegonya said:
I think I heard Paula (not Abdul) in the background yell, we love you Taylor! Of course that could have been the other million people who love him.

Well, guess who got her photo taken with Taylor last night after American Idol? And guess whose brother-in-law doesn't know how to find the photo on his camera? (We didn't bring our cameras because they weren't working well and they weren't allowed in anyway).
We had a fantastic time at American Idol last night. My sister-in-law Stacy is in the "business" in LA and worked about 3 weeks through her network to get us all tickets to be in the audience AND passes to go back stage after the show. Sooooo, there were about 50 people or so who were able to get autographs -- our kids and our niece and nephew got autographs of all the contestants left. Because there weren't many people with backstage passes, the American Idols were able to spend quite a bit of time with the few people who were there.
Ace was actually the warmest and sweetest person of all of them (all were very happy to sign autographs and even had good pens with them to do so) AND sang happy birthday to our youngest daugther because we were there for her birthday (nice present and she's not getting another birthday present from us now until she's at least 30). We have photos of Ace with the 4 kids with his huge smile (if we can find where it is on my brother-in-law's camera). Taylor saw the poster we made for him and gave the kids a little extra attention. I mentioned the Red Bar and 331 and the area and he very kindly said to say "hi" to his friends in the area. Mandisa was exceptionally sweet and giving, as was Chris. Paris was the least so (seemed to be going through the motions but my sister-in-law said it may have been because she got bad reviews from the judges and may be concerned about tonight).
Before the show started when we were in our seats we met Taylor's grandmother (she was shown on TV) because we had our Taylor sign up on our seats and she came over to us to thank us and to say he was such a nice boy. She was very sweet.
We Tivo'd the show and watched when we got back home after Thai food. You really couldn't see us at all unless you knew exactly where we were sitting and then wouldn't get a good view anyway. The theater is small. I think you could compare it in size to the Seaside Amphitheater. So, everyone has a great view. We were coached to yell and scream and clap and stand so we did. My kids were quite embarrassed to see their mom getting so thoroughly into it (I told them I was just following instructions). We saw Whoopie Goldberg, Chris Rock, and the guy who's the star in "High School Musical" (a kids' movie that my kids adore -- they know all the songs). Anyway, being there was a hoot.
Photos will follow soon once we get access to them. It's so much fun now to share this experience with others!

What was Taylor thinking when he picked his song???? Maybe SteeleMama is right and he was bored or something. Definitely did not showcase his talent. It was a STRANGE night for AI. I actually was able to watch Ace and I enjoyed Pickler. Most of all, I loved Katharine and was glad to see Chris doing something different. I can't even begin to guess who's gonna go tonight! Paula was a little flakey again...anyone else notice?

WOW Paula. Sounds like y'all had a great experience! Close up and personal. Can't wait to see the pictures. What was your opinion of Taylor's performance being in person?
