i've got the mcpheever!

so we bade elliott yamin farewell as he sang his swan song.

and the final two staying on to fight for the title are katharine mcphee and taylor hicks. if you had asked me a few months back who i thought should be in the finale, i'd tell you straight up that chris(hott! i wanna marry him!) and katharine should be the final two. but after the shocking night last week where chris daughtry was tamyra-ed and latoya-ed, i had a bad feeling that katharine will be receiving some backlash from chris' fans and other kat-haters.

nonetheless, last night proved to be an amazing night for katharine mcphee. a perfectly superb night for taylor hicks and an incredibly bland night for elliott yamin.

needless to say, tears welled up in my eyes as i watched katharine, sitted on the floor, sing somewhere over the rainbow. it was a stellar performance. a show-stopper. only a song choice before that had me worried about her safety but that second song was simply gorgeous. immaculate and executed to perfection. and the third song. i was alright with it. it wasn't great, but it wasn't bad.

i think katharine is trying to do too much in one song. everytime i watch her performance, it's like she's competing with the music. she needs to not oversing it and just put out a chilled out performance. she and mariah carey has something in common. both needs jermaine dupri to tell them how to sing properly! hah!

but i love both of them!

and taylor. honestly, a few months back, i don't understand what is so special about taylor hicks. i didn't think he was particularly good. but these last couple of weeks had me thinking otherwise. and last night. magic. joe cocker's you are so beautiful was amazing. i thought taylor had a great night and was a shoo-in for the finale.

i've nothing to say about elliott.

thus we wait for the finale next week. it'll be a kaylor finale. i'm sure it'll be a show everyone will remember. kat needs to lay everything out and just blow everyone away.

i'm not too concerned over who's going to win because i think both will make it big somehow. i believe katharine already has her career path cut out and laid out in front of her. she's a gorgeous girl with an incredible voice. if she can't make it as a singer. she'll definitely be an actress. hollywood is just a stone's throw away.

good luck.

and i've been making my rounds in idol forum. my goodness. alot of the comments are uncalled for. but really, i just wonder why people need to be so vicious and dig all the bad stuff.. just move on. gosh.
