Chat live during American Idol

by Ryan j Budke, posted May 2nd 2006 8:00PM

AI; american idol; logo; moobyPickler's gone! I'm not nearly as torn up about that as I would have imagined I would have been if I knew that 3 months ago. She came across as way too ditzy and not nearly as innocent as we had all originally thought. Plus, I've heard she's absolutely hell on wheels in real life. Oh and her singing yada yada yada, but let's be honest, that's not what this competition is about. Come join me and the rest of the American Idol fanatics tonight as we chat live during the show. As with all of our chats, you must have AIM or a compatible chat client (Trillian, GAIM, etc), once you have that, meet back here to this very post at 8pm ET, and that's when I'll unveil the location for our super secret chat room. See you then!

Update:
Come one, come all;  here is the super secret location for our American Idol Chat! Look for me (TVSRyan) in the chat room. See you inside.

Disclaimer: All or parts of the discussion in this chatroom may be posted in a later column on this site.For Trillian users: Simply click on the link, and as long as Trillian is set as your default instant messenging program, it will open within Trillian.

For Gaim users: Go to the 'Buddies' menu, then select "Join a Chat". Use your AIM account, then enter the room name TVSquadAIChat19 and use Exchange 4. That should do it!

We can't believe Chris was voted off American Idol. To us he was the next idol. He seemed perfect! We did not hear what the number of voters was this time! Something seems very wrong! I'ld call for a recount of votes. We voted and it was hard to get through on either of his lines. We are still in disbelief and greatly disappointed. In fact, at the office this morning this was the talk. No one could believe it!

We are middle-aged Americans, we don't usually listen to rock music, BUT Chris was our next American Idol. He was and is great!

We hope Chris will receive a contract with a great band and have a long successful career in music.

We still can't believe it!

One Word SHOCK that Chris is gone...I really thought it should have been Katherine, her two songs was NOT good at all!! But, we haven't seen the last of Chris he has a voice that I can't get enough of. Come on American don't make a other mistake like you did this week!! I'm sorry to say this coming week Katherine needs to be gone!!! Sorry!!!

CHRIS WAS VOTED OFF SO THAT KATHERINE WILL WIN...BELIEVE ME...
KATHERINE WILL NOT HAVE ANY COMPETITION WITH THE TWO REMAINING CONTESTANTS. CHRIS WAS COMPETITION... AMERICAN IDOL NEEDS AN ALL AMERICAN LOOK AT THIS TIEM AROUND...AT SOME POINT I DON'T THINK THE VIEWER'S HAVE 100% CONTROL OF WHO WINS AND WHO WILL LOSE...

About someone trying to vote for Chris all night, we did too and the lines were constantly busy for 2 hours. We did finally get through but it was almost 11:00. How is it possible he got the least amount of votes and his lines were busy continuously. I think this has to be a mistake or it is not an honest competition. I may not watch it anymore now. I am sure God has something much better waiting for Chris.

I am in absolute and utter shock...what in the world is going on with American Idol, did you see the shock on Chris's face, he was in unbelief too! If Taylor Hicks gets it then I think I will be an X American Idol fan because I will know that it is a set up!!! I am really totally shocked!!! What do all you guys think???

UNBELIEVABLE... A complete travesty! We have watched American Idol since it began, and I have seen some votes that I didn't agree with, but in the end the true star always won. We were totally shocked to see the end of what was to be the best American Idol ever.
Not sure if I want to waste my time on this show again.
Katherine knew she should have been the one to go...
all you had to do is read her face. Even she thought it was a bad joke. Make a CD, Chris... to hell with John Q Public.

I can't believe what just happened. Why would America vote for Katherine instead of Chris? I'm sorry to say, but Katherine sucked last night. She jumped around on stage like an idiot. This is what America wants as the next American Idol. She even messed up on the words. Come on people!!!! Katherine better be gone next week. I hope Taylor wins!!! Actually, I like Elliot too. Please no Katherine!!!!!!!!

Chris has the entire package, stage presence, enormous talent, and the look. To have kept Katherine, who on multiple occasions could not remember her lines, and sent Chris home, just confirms to me that this show is a gimmick, and not worthy of my time.

Chris voted off before Katherine!?!?! She stunk up the place last night. I surely thought the top 2 finalists would be Taylor and Chris. I have always thought Idol was rigged, especially after Fantasia beat Latoya 2 seasons ago, but now I'm sure of it!!! If Katherine wins this thing...I will never watch this bogus show again!
