The week of 6 finalists on American Idol was full of fireworks, waterworks, and robots... First the Katherine McPhee panty shot, as detailed earlier on the main page at Wizbang.

And now (via rickey.org) now we can add video of the performance...
And high definition screen caps..
And one from early in the performance...
And, of course, one from the archives (from a previous episode)...
Oh yeah, she can sing too...
Not to be outdone, Kellie Pickler (who looked like she forgot to remove a roller) admitted to being a soulless Picklebot... Her false, awe-shucks, country girl routine (which we've previously documented), didn't even manage to fool the blind guy - classical tenor Andre Bocelli - who pegged her as a blond.
McPhee is the new hotness, Pickler's not...
Update: In light of the pictures above, you might be interested in the creepily appropriate YouTube video montage to McPhee, "Your Body is a Wonderland."

I do not like Katherine McPhee! Yes she can sing, yes she might be pretty, but she's boring! At least Kelly Pickler is funny and sweet and has a personality, even if she does sound like she's from hickville.
I don't vote for either one of them. Chris is my favorite.

They're both very talented singers, and Chris is a powerhouse. However, Kellie, in all fairness, was the worst last night, though I still think that's not saying much because she sang fantastically. It was just awkward. However, others have gotten away with it before, like BUCKY and ACE, so um, I wouldn't mind her staying another week, as long as it doesn't mean saying goodbye to Paris or Elliott.
Katharine, I agree, is a bit boring. If they say Elliott has no personality...Still, during a song, the looks she give sizzle more than his. But whatever. If she gets kicked-off, she'll soar to success on her own. And Kellie I could see doing sitcoms and other things herself.
Chris...I don't know. He's so talented, but I have mixed feelings about him. I hate the way his voice sounds...so ingratiating. If others major talents have gotten the boot for not being able to branch-out of their element, than so should he. Still, if he wins, it won't be a disappointment.
Nonetheless, I'm gunning for Taylor Hicks, my favorite performer of the bunch. He's so unique and charismatic. He stands-out amongst ALL previous Idol contestants. And the thing is, he really CAN sing. He actually has a range! Plus, he's just so much fun, it'd be great to see him win. He seems well-loved...but now, I'm just terribly worried because of last night. I wonder if he'll pull a Mandisa and give us the second shocking vote-off this season. Oh, I'm gonna be a wreck while watching "Bones" tonight before "American Idol"'s results show!
Still...Go Soul Patrol!

It really is all a bit of a scream isn't it. Who knows what the true vote count is anyway..... The producers of the show keep who they like and give the boot to the person they want off the show, regardless of singing ability. Nevertheless, as a singer myself, I still enjoy watching the performances although I must say, the comments from the judges usually are totally spastic.

I think that this years top three was noticeable at the start of the top 12. Katharine, Chris, and Taylor will rise to the top! It will be really close to see who goes first Elliot or Paris. I think that Paris has Elliot beat, but thats my opinion! I think this years American Idol will be Katharine McPhee, she has the total package and can sing so far anything that comes her way! Thats not the person that I'mvoting for though! Hopefully Chris comes up with the overall Win! And Taylor, taylor is just taylor! You cant expect anything more than what he has give.
Your top American Idol top 5
1. Katharine McPhee-Winner
2. Chris Daughtry-Runner-Up
3. Taylor Hixs- Third
4. Paris Bennet- Fourth
5. Elliot Yaming- Fifth
All i can really say is that Carrie Underwood is the best American Idol winner so far! She tops all of the Idol and Idol Winners!

How does one know she thinks she's the second coming of Christ? Perhaps we should get Brenna Gethers back on the show so we can see what REAL ego is all about.
Now... that dress. I love Kat and wish I could do many things with her and that dress. My GOD she is so HOTTTT!!!! and what a voice. I knew the judges would change their tune when they listened back to the show. I was thinking, "what the hell did THEY listen to if they think she didn't nail that song?"

I think Katharine is the coolest. She is so gonna win American Idol. I am really sad that Kellie is gone though. She was so cute (as in innocent) and so funny. Sometimes when I whatched her I would sit and cry because it was so funny! Anyway I think the order of winning will be:
1: Katharine McPhee
2: Chris Duaghtry
3: Taylor Hicks
4: Paris
5: Elliot Yamin
No matter wht this website says, or anything else anyone says, Kat is the coolest person on the show. So get over it already!!!!

I think that Katharine McPhee is the best of all of the contestants. For the one that said that she thinks that she is the next coming of Christ, WTF?! You have no clue what you are talking about. She is down to earth, funny, and has (according to Paula) a great look. Also, it was pointed out by all three judges that she has the best voice in the competition. The others ae good, but Katharine will topple them all. Except for Chris Daughtry. He will give her a run for her money. I think Katharine will win, but if Chris does, it's b/c of all of the rockers out there. Catch the McPheever!!!

Kat is awesomely hot - a great mix of talent and beauty. Whenever she performs I practically melt into the floor. But if she has any 'diva' instincts in her - they aren't obvious. As for her few critics - there are always those who resent someone with so much going for them. GO KAT - and GO CHRIS - both drip with charisma!
