why did chris daughtry get eliminated from the american idol?

Because although he has a great voice, it's too generic. A lot of male singers sound JUST like him. Same goes for a lot of the past contestants as well. Taylor however, is unique, and has a lot of passion for what he's doing....that shines through, and that's why, personally, I think he'll win.

No.  He became a judge on American Idol, replacing Paula Abdul, who left the show to marry the President of Iran.  Meanwhile, P. Diddy was sworn in as the replacement President under the 43rd Amendment to the Constitution. Don't you read the papers?

I agree with Elizabeth.  This "controversy" has been completely blown out of proportion.  Chris is original in this competition, and he doesn't compromise on who he is as a performer no matter what genre is selected.  Chris never once said that version was his arrangement, and don't you think if it were, the producers would have hyped that up so much that no one would have had any doubt!?  They would have shown him working on it and collaborating with the band etc.  There was none of that.  I never assumed for a moment that it was Chris' own work.  By the way, not one of the others has done any original versions of their songs either so why single Chris out for that purpose?  I personally don't think they have enough time to actually come up with an original arrangement in the short time they have to prepare for their next performance.

Neither. Chris Daughtry should have won. Stupid voting system.

I totally agree with browneyedmaiden on the more-than-one american idol thing...but I have to say Chris Daughtry has the most chances of winning...but I'm still rooting for David to stay on the show tonight! :P

I was shocked that the 2 people favored to win, Chris and Kat, were the two with the lowest votes. I didn't think either of them deserved to go home, although Kat was labeled as the poorest of the performers this week. This was the shocker like 2 seasons ago when the best 3 people were all in the bottom 3 at the same time and the best of the year went home...Fantasia was not the best that year. Unfortunately, Chris Daughtry went home today and Kat will follow if she doesn't get back to her regular singing capabilities. I think this week was a definite disadvantage for both Chris and Kat and a big bonus for Taylor. I have no idea why they pulled this kind of theme out at this point in the competition. It should have been when there were 8 or more singers left. Taylor would probably be gone if he hadn't had the advantage this week..it was his kind of music.

I agree with you 110%! Kelly should've been in the bottom three and even voted off last night in Idol. Her performance of the Stevie Wonder song was absolutely horrid... I think it even made my ears bleed! (yikes). I have no idea why she's still there, I guess its because Simon likes her so much and America thinks she's cute. But like you said, you can't win American Idol on your looks, its supposed to be out singing! Hopefully she'll get voted off soon. And Kevin too.

I couldn't agree Any more, laughing machine. I think that Chris is amazing. Mandisa has that gospel-like voice. Heck I'm listing to both of them on American idol's website Right now.  Mandisa left early but she's better  than this year's winner, Taylor. Kat's not in the same league as Chris or mandisa. I think people are dumb that they're glad Taylor Won! When Chris was eliminated I wanted Elliott to win.

No, Stevie is my favorite and American Idol really sucks this season, might I add. Stevie and one of the bald dudes that sings like Bon Jovi are the two best on there. This season sucks hugely though.

Chris Daughtry...I've voted for him and Taylor Hicks over this season, because I think they're both more talented than any of the girls. Katharine McPhee is OK, but I think Chris appeals to a broader audience.

omg i so think that is unfair.  Kathrine so should have gone out. she is soo robotic (if you know what i mean)  Chris is the best evr to be on American idol!

I have noticed this, but I dont think that is why Lisa got voted off, I think lisa got voted of because she sang a very popular song(Because of You) and missed half or more of the song and when she did get to the ending she put the lyrics in the wrong spot.Fantasia did not get voted off for having a swear word in her song. It could be a link that people who watch american idol like songs without cuss words more than ones with.

I do like to watch American Idol, but was a little disappointed with last season.  I thought that Constantine shouldn't have been sent home when he was.  There was no way that Scott Savol was better than him.  Anyway, that was last year.  This year I think it's going to be the guys turn to win... I really like Taylor Hicks and Chris Daughtry and of course Ace.  :)  It would be nice to see Taylor or Chris win; they aren't the "sterotypical" idols the judges and America seem to be looking for.

My thoughts were exactly like yours.  Elliot has been my fave since the 1st time I heard him sing.  He's got such a sexy voice!  It reminds me of Marc Broussard and Donny Hathaway (his idol).  My favorite to win was always Chris though.  I figured since Bo came in 2nd last year, it was time for a rocker to win.  I was happily shocked when he got the boot. \nWhen I saw that Elliot was on Taylor's side, I knew he was safe (Taylor's never in the bottom).  I assumed Katharine would be going, but I wanted Chris to go b/c I figured that would give Elliot a much better chance of winning with Chris outa the picture.  I couldn't believe he left!!\n\nAs nerdy as this is, I had my own "vote-a-thon" for Elliot (30 times through) this week.  Next week I'll be doing even more.  How cool would it be if he actually one?
