So... who do you think's gonna win it? Who's going to go this week? I think either Chris or Taylor is going to win, and that Katherine's going this week.

What about you guys? :)

Yep, yep...I have to say being marketable is the biggest predictor of success after AI ends. The only past contestants that get any real play here are Kelly and Carrie (both of which are played all the time). I use to hear Clay and Kimberly Locke's songs occasionally, but never heard a song by Rubin or Fantasia.

I've said since this thing started that the only contestant that seemed marketable to me was Katherine, who has the whole Kelly Clarkson 2.0 pop-rock vibe about her. Elliot seems like a nice guy with a good voice, but I'm not exactly sure what genre he falls under...He has a soul flare that doesn't really get played on our Top 40's stations, but that could be different in other places. Taylor may, like Clay, do well on the Adult Contempory charts, but I don't see him making much of a dint on the pop scene.

After Idol regardless of who wins...I see Katherine and Chris (plus band) having careers, and probably Paris too if she gets decent material.

As far as who will win...I'd say Taylor right now, but that could change after this week's show. Last year I was able to call Carrie and Bo as the finalists the first week out, but this year has been more of a challenge...America seems to be voting based on the weekly performances and not overall quality more than I've seen in past years.

Katharine shouldn't win, she's not as talented, but the producers have already decided.

Okay, what is everyone's prediction for who will make the finals.

After tonight...I say Taylor is pretty much gonna make top two with it being a toss up between Katherine and Elliot.

If America overlooks Kat's last song, I think she will go through...She was more entertaining than Elliot as far as song choice and delivery (JMO). But that last number of hers was awful, so I think Elliot still has a chance.

I'm gonna very tenatively make a prediction that it is Taylor and Katherine in the finals, but I would count Elliot out.

Personally, I don't care...I'm not a big fan of any member of the final three.
