Congrats on the wins Carrie.

Now on to this mess of an ensemble.

Wrong Dress!

Wrong Shoes!

Wrong Accessories!


I always said Chris should have won that season of AI. I am so proud of him, his voice is A M A Z I N G...and he seems like such a great guy. Carrie on the otherhand was overheard being a beotch when her football boyfriend was asked for an autograph..seems to me she is a bit full of herself.


And wrong attitude. Where's the photo of her bitchy look when a big cheer went up for Miley Cyrus? Diva does.not like sharing the spotlight.


I am NOT loving her ensemble...

But I do love Carrie & Chris....they both deserved to win :)


That dress is about a beak away from Bjork's swan dress. ;)


Looks like Chris bought his wife a new set of bOObs.


When wearing that dress, stay away from petalphiles! ;-)


where oh where is tim gunn when you need him? that dress and omfg those shoes! whoever designed those shoes should be drawn and quartered! publicly! doesn't she have a stylist? what was she thinking? love her but wtf? overall i'd have to give her a -25 for style and poor choices in fashion. terrible!


Congrats to Daughtry for proving that they are the season 5 success story, and also congrats to Carrie. I think the only way Taylor would have been there is if he was hired to clean up the place after the show was over. From what I hear he's done the world a favor and retired from the music industry, which really means that his sales sucked so his record label dropped him....


Noticeably not there? Taylor Hicks. What happened to this guy and his career?

I have the answer to part of this question, but also a question about this sentence.

I will tell you why Hicks was not there if you will answer a question for me.

What career ???


Congratulations to Carrie and Chris. So glad two of my favorite Idols are doing so well.

Carries esamble was hot well thought out. Chris however looked smokin hot. Loved that black shirt with the silver threads.

Deanna always has been endowed in the breast area. No need for a boob job for her. Just a push up bra and a low low low neckline. I think it was a bit to low, but Deanna is a pretty woman. Lucky her to be married to Chris.


Deanna was a stripper when Chris met her, so she's used to showing her boobs.


Good for Deanna that she doesn't have a care in the world anymore when it comes to money.

They are a gorgeous couple.


Carrie looked gorgeous, and Chris looked handsome, and his wife looked beautiful. Taylor Hicks's wife has a different look; just dick and balls, but hey, to each his own.


Carrie looked beautiful, Chris looked hot and as gorgeous as ever. So a beautiful man.

I can see the Tayholes have not over come there envy yet! Give it up already. Chris is the star from Season 5 deal with it. His wife was never a stripper so cease with the slander. Deanna is one beautiful, well endowed woman who has it all. A hot as all hello rockstar hubby who adores her.

GO Carrie and GO Chris! Two American Idols doing so well.


Carrie looked beautiful, I see nothing amiss with her esemble! Chris looked hot and as gorgeous as ever. Such a beautiful man.

I can see the Tayholes have not over come there envy yet! Give it up already. Chris is the star from Season 5 deal with it. His wife was never a stripper so cease with the slander. Deanna is one beautiful, well endowed woman who has it all. A hot as all hello rockstar hubby who adores her.

GO Carrie and GO Chris! Two American Idols doing so well.


I will not stoop to putting down Taylor. Or his significant other.

Sad you seem to want to do that to Chris!

I thought he looked Yummy all in Black. His wife looked very pretty. His acceptance speeches were humble and sweet thanking his fans over and over, thanking god. I love how he places his hands in prayer and gives thanks! What a special guy.

Loved the Home performance with the violins. Great concept to take us back to the living room where Chris wrote Home before he left for American Idol.

I have nothing against Taylor and wish him well. I hope he decides to listen to reason and make a more marketable 2nd CD. Maybe if he has a hit or two you vile, mean as snakes, creatures will stop hating on Daughtry?

One can hope!


Noone HATES Daughtry, it's just not everyone thinks he's the next big rock god thats all.Congrats to both of them and to all the vile, mean as snakes creatures maybe you should just be happy for Chris and quit trashing Taylor Hicks.I thought Daughtry was considered by his fans to be a real rocker...POP ROCK!!!!LOL and Adult contemporary?Boy, they stretched on that one.So what genre does he fall in?


If noone hates Daughtry, jewel, then why is your head spinning around and around and green bile is foaming at your mouth?

Ask Chris where he met his wife? Ask him if she was a stripper? You won't get a straight answer, because he doesn't want the world to know that she was indeed a stripper.

Where is Taylor -- he's in Asia, and just performed on Asian Idol, singing three songs, and now he's off to Manilla for three performances.


at shopping malls! WOWIE
even the people watching IDOL over there the ratings were way down. Chris's wife was never a stripper! At least Chris is married and doesn't havee a boyfriend named Bill. Chris already toured overseas. Please don't even compare a mall tour to a huge tour Daughtry performed. Taylor is the laughingstock of AI! Even Nigel hates him!


A huge tour like Daughtry? Now that's funny.Taylor just finished two very successful tours back to back across the country and is keeping very busy while he gets ready for 2008. Quit being such haters. Since your idol picks are doing so well right now, why do you still feel the need to trash Taylor?Sounds like your the ones that can't get over his win, not the Taylor fans.Oh and Daughtry had such a massive overseas tour didn't he?What a joke...what...250 people?And now he couldn't even sell out some dive in his hometown?Me thinks Daughtry's success is pretty superficial and as far as Carrie goes, I just read an article that she is on the list of artists that have taken advantage of background help in her actual singing.That explains why she sounds so nasally on fan videos.If I find the link I will post it. Goes to figure, the two most successful artists to come out of AI, are the 2 most boring, unoriginal contestants to come off the show.But, they sing mainstream crap and that is what sells.It's all hoopla without the substance.Taylor was the bread and butter of season 5 for the producers and they know it.Since they can't make money off of him, he get's no love from AI, but his single from AI, which is the property of Clive went to become the best selling single of 2006.Go figure...hmmm..how did that happen?Clive was set to make huge bucks off of that single and lo and behold, "Do I make you proud"is heard all over the radio.Don't let em fool ya, like I have said before, TPTB can make ya or break ya, no matter what your talent level is.


mandm, you just never shut up, do you? First of all, let's set the record straight on Taylor's so called, best selling single of 2006. The REAL TRUTH is that it barely sold over 500,000 copies, and that Bad Day sold almost 4 MILLION, but the only reason it gets said that DIMYP was the best selling by you Idiots is because it sold more PHYSICAL copies, and mainly that's because hardly anyone makes those anymore, and NO ONE hardly buys them, so stop trying to make it sound like it was some great hit, when it wasn't at all! The real name for it should have been, "Do I Make You PUKE" because that's what most people do when they hear Taylor singing!
As for the concert tour, Daughtry's has been FAR MORE SUCCESSFUL! I'm sick of you all bringing up the same old crap because you know Daughtry are the ones that have been a huge SUCCESS so you just bring up the same concert that was in a club in England, and in case you didn't know, most new bands start off that way, which is why they chose to play in a smaller venue in the UK, but that's all going to change, and I notice you don't bring up the fact that they have had concerts with 10,000 and 15,000+ in attendence where they headlined, which is something that would never happen for Taylor! Most of the venues he played at were more than half EMPTY, and now he's performing in shopping malls for FREE! And don't you LIE about Daughtry not selling out the VENUE in his hometown! There were a few tickets for sale by a SCALPER who had already bought them, you idiot, but it was sold out, and it was definitely not in some "dive" like you're trying to say. As for Carrie, she sang on AI every week, so don't try and say that she can't sing because it's obvious that she can. Talk about jealous, that's what all of you SP'ers obviously are! There is no way any Daughtry fan cares about what happened over a year ago on AI, but you just can't get over the fact that in the real world, Daughtry are the winners!


Please Mandm don't compare Tay's over seas tour with anyones, Taylor played at malls! The people on Asian Idol from the videos we saw weren't really that happy about taylor being there! Daughtry sold out Greensboro shows, Scalpers buy tickets (well to the hot shows) You are dreaming if you think that Taylor was the bread and butter for AI season 5 that would happen to be Chris and his band! You guys are the one with the jelousy problem, you all need to get over it! Taylors time has come and gone. It is over for him! Give it up already! 2008 won't be any better for him, his sales will be even worst then this years! Taylor is nothing, he should have stayed put with Clive oh thats right Clive got RID OF HIM, for being such an asshole! Give it up! 2008 is the YEAR OF DAUGHTRY AGAIN!


I loved seeing Taylor perform during the Liberty Bowl, Oh wait ESPN was smart and didn't show him! LMFAO! Gotta love how they don't "LOVE" Taylor........ HA HA HA! Thank God for small favors!


Just telling it like it is -- Yes, Chris performed overseas to in small smokey bars - 250 people, and he got terrible reviews -- all negative. Even in the UK, where he's been twice, they still don't like him.

Almost every review that's coming out now is negative, so mr one hit wonder may not be on the scene a year from now.


Grinch/AKA Scorp! Fast forward ahead now and where is Taylor? DVD still not out now he has a farce he is coming out with 2 Cds as if that will save him? Please
