Taylor vs Katharine for the American Idol Final
Its the Taylor Hick's Soul Patrol vs Katharine 'McPheever' McPhee in this year's American Idol final.Elliot Yamin got booted last week in an extremely close contest with a few hundred thousand votes separating all three - out of 50 million votes.
The grey-haired white soul boy with his strange ticks and mannerisms, Taylor Hicks, is the odds on favourite to take the title. He's been strong every week - never being in the bottom two - whilst Katharine has had some ups and downs - until her excellent rendition of 'Somewhere over the Rainbow' which arguably was the performance that knocked out Yamin
Paddy Power has Taylor Hicks at 4/11 and Katharine McPhee at 15/8
Move over Pop Idol, this is the song contest we wait for every year - Eurovision. A dose of Terry Wogan and preferably a good few glasses of something strong is all you need to get through it - and its perfect TV. Its the singing version of a train wreck as we try to stop looking and stick our fingers in our ears - but just can't...so you may as well have a bet.
The latest incarnation of the time travelling Doctor won 3 BAFTAs last night - including Best Drama Series. Doctor Who also won the Pioneer Audience Award and the Dennis Potter Award for outstanding TV writing.
The American public finally decided they'd had enough of cute but dumb Kellie Pickler and we can take the ear plugs out now after 2 horrendous performances in the last 2 weeks.
