American Idol 5 Top 16

Weren’t last night’s American Idol 5 eliminations entirely expected? The four contestants to get the boot were Heather Cox, 22, David Radford, 17, Jose "Sway" Penala, 28 and Brenna Gethers, 25. And deservingly so, their performances put me straight to sleep last night. ZZZ. Who should be the next four to go? Melissa McGhee, Kinnik Sky, Kevin Covais and Will Makar. And it’s going to be a fight to the finish but here are my top 6 — Paris Bennett, Mandisa Hundley, Kellie Pickler, Lisa Tucker, Ace Young and Taylor Hicks. Who are your top 6, America? More pictures in the gallery!

The four hopeful contestants to get the boot last night — Heather Cox,
David Radford, Jose "Sway" Penala and Brenna Gethers.

I like Taylor Hicks - he’s different, unique and you can tell he absolutely loves music

My favorites are McPhee, Daughtry, Hicks, and Tucker. I hope one of those wins!It was good to see Sway go. And Heather! BRENNA! I’m so glad she’s gone! Now I can watch it without getting annoyed! Well… Ace is still there so I will still be annoyed but he’s not as loud as her!

My favorites are Katharine Mcphee and Chris Daughtry. I think they will be in the top 3! I was right about Carrie Underwood last year from her first audition! It’s clear when someone’s got it, and they’ve got it. Chris Daughtry has never even had voice lessons! That’s impressive!

Oh and YES btw..what’s up with Paula? She couldn’t even get her sentence out. She looked like an idiot being that drunk! Well, it could have been lots of things, but I’m assuming alcohol! She does strike me as a lush for some reason. She does cry a lot and she’s very emotional. All traits of a drunk!

Chris Daughtry is BY FAR the most talented male on this years American Idol, he will be your winner, I have picked them every season since Kelly and don’t doubt it will be Chris HE’S GOT IT!!
