Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
American Idol: Season 5
Kevin . Paris Bennett dubbed sweet little 16-year-old Kevin 'Chicken Little.' He shows how not-so-innocent he is when he comes back at Simon for giving him a harsh comment.
Taylor . Taylor's such an energetic contestant. He's from the same area in Alabama that Bo Bice was from, but they are nothing alike. Taylor sings soul, while Bo sings rock.
Kellie Pickler. Kellie's the 19-year-old contestant from North Carolina. She's hilarious, and was called a 'minx' by Simon.
Stevie Wonder hits. The Stevie Wonder week proved to be a very tough one, as Stevie is possibly one of the best and most legendary singers in the world. The second week they did songs from the '50s.
'I Walk the Line'. Chris is very good at doing rock music and usually adds his own originality to songs.
Mandisa. Mandisa proved that her voice is bigger than she is. She sounds like a professional singer already.
Bucky. Bucky's brother was able to come up on stage during the Top 12 show after Bucky sang while Ryan was telling everyone his number. They look exactly alike.
Ace. Ace is a very good looking contestant with a great voice. He's had some off weeks, but all-in-all, he's fantastic. He really proved himself during 'Songs of the '50s'.
No. Elliott revealed while he was in the Top 24 that he never rehearses before a show. He just goes out on stage and wings it, and he always does great.
Melissa McGhee. Melissa McGhee took the last female seat in the top 12 just a week before being the first to leave the competition. She sang Stevie Wonder's "Lately", and got a few of the words wrong. This is thought to be the main reason she didn't get enough votes to stay in the competition.
Katharine McPhee. In her excitement, Katharine went around and pecked Simon, Paula, and Randy on the lips. She became an early favorite of the judges.
Chris Daughtry. Chris is a strong performer, who became known for his preference of rock songs. His version of "I Walk the Line" was one that his favorite band, Live, had covered for one of their albums.
Kevin Covais. During the semifinals, 16 year old Kevin was shown in a split screen with a picture of Chicken Little to point out their resemblance. From then on, Ryan Seacrest referred to him as Chicken Little.
Mandisa. Mandisa sang "Wanna Praise You" by Mary Mary. She is the only contestant who goes by her first name only.
Taylor Hicks. Taylor Hicks is from Birmingham, Alabama. He gained quite a fanbase early on, and he refers to them as the "Soul Patrol".
Elliott Yamin. Elliot is a good natured person, despite having to deal with diabetes and 90% hearing loss in one of his ears. In the first week of the semifinals, Simon told Elliot that he may have had the best male voice ever to be heard on "Idol".
