Thread is here for bragging rights. Call the final four members of the competition. Thread will be closed to new predictions once they get down to the final 10.
Make your call. Who will be the idol, and who will be # 2,3 &4.
1. TAYLOR- uber huge fan base will see him through
2. Chris
3. Katherine
4. Paris- This spot could be filled by Mandisa. Paris's attitude is wearing a bit thin.
Notes: I think that it is possible that any of these can be switched aroud. I think that it is definitely possible that Elliot won't make it much farther cuz a lot of people don't think he has 'the look' and that they will get annoyed with Paris's stuck-up attitude. Kelli, Lisa, Mandisa, and Katharine can sing just as well if not better and they don't have the 'I-am-so-good-I-should-show-off-as-much-as-possible' attitude. Simon is totally right you have to have the likeability and the voice. Kelli Pickler and Chris got both along with the others up above. Kelli's dumb blonde thing can get a little annoying but she means well and America knows that. It is not too noticeable but she has a smidge of it. Chris and Kelli both deserve it, Paris can get into the business through her family's contacts if she really wanted to. I love her voice but I think the underdogs need a shot. The ones who don't have rich parents, have enough money for singing lessons, or don't have the contacts. Basically the ones who learned to sing in their showers or in front of the mirror with a hair brush or a bottle of hairspray. As long as they got the voices to back it up and Mandisa, Kelli, Chris, and Katharine definitely do.

Paris displays confidence, there is a definite difference between that and stuck-up attitude! Paris is one of the sweetest contestants on the show! There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a healthy dose of confidence! I actually applaud her for trying to make it on her own rather than relying on her grandmother's and mom's contacts to make it.
I'm sorry but Kellie can not sing as well as Paris, that is an insult. Kellie is getting all her votes because she is cute not because of her vocals...Sorry to break it to ya!
I want to go with Bucky here becuse he is appealing to the Bruce Springstein, George Thorogood type of crowd. I also like Pickler here too but I don't think she is quite strong enough yet. She can't get through all the way with the cute bubbly personality. Nothing against Chris or Elliott I just don't think America will go with them. As for Mandisa, she is very good but are we ready to go big again (Ruben). Ace isn't good enough, Kevin's getting too big of a head thinking that he is Americas Sex Symbol, Paris is getting way too cocky she's good and could go in this slot but mainly because the judges are pushing her like Fantaisa.
So I have either Bucky or Paris. Bucky if he continues with his style, Paris if America listens to the Judges.
