I was absolutely shocked at the judges reactions to Katharine. I thought she did an amazing job with a very difficult song. I was really taken back by their comments. I voted non-stop and got through quite a bit in the last hour so I'm a bit nervous. Ken

I was shocked by their comments, too, tonight. The way things worked out tonight, it wouldn't suprise me if the judges comments were working more towards ratings than actual constructive criticism for the contestants. Buuut who knows. I got through quite a bit in the last 30 minutes. I only got a few busy signals. Hopefully some of that has to do with there being 2 lines.

I know what you mean, Ken. I admit, I was very nervous when I heard that she was going to perform that song. I got more nervous when I found out she will be the first one peforming tonight. I had my fingers crossed the whole time she was performing, but when Kat delivered and finished the song, I just raised my hand, had a very big smile on my face, and literally said "TOUCHDOWN!", hehe, strange, I know. I really thought that she delivered greatly tonight. Aside from the minor dress malfunctions (I love you Kat and I know that what happened was unintentional), everything went really well, in my objective opinion. I know I'm a fan, but I absolutely loved Kat's performance tonight. I was so impressed and blown out of my mind. But goodness, my happiness was turned to extreme anger when the judges started commenting. They're seriously out of their minds. I would love them to watch Kat's peformance again and say that it wasn't good... they really must be on something, seriously. I voted my heart out tonight, as I did the other nights. I got many errors once more, though. The phone lines were unclogged most of the time and I literally got in most of them the last 30 minutes = lines were busy free. I wasn't able to count as well as in the past since I was heavily distracted by the two phones on my ears, but I've counted 695 votes. The lowest that I've had so far... I don't think the lines were free though... I might have just not counted really well tonight. Thank you Kat. YOU WERE MAGNIFICENT TONIGHT. My favorite vocal performance so far this season. Don't let the judges bring you down.. they had no idea what they were talking about. Your fans will always be behind you no matter what. West Coast, please vote! Keep Kat out of the bottom 3!

Hi Everyone! I'm new to this site. Will give more info about myself later. I just had to post here!!! I thought Kat was excellent tonight!!! I was so proud of her - I thought it was one of her best performances. I was in total shock when I heard the judges. It made me SO MAD! My family took turns voting on our home line 2 hours straight and I dialed on my cell for two hours straight!!!!! GO KAT!!!!!! WE HAVE MCPHEEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, first let me say I voted harder tonight than I have ever voted in my life. I got 188 votes through and that was with the landline continually calling one number and the cell phone calling the other. Now to the song, first let me say that I got a very sinking feeling when she announced she was singing I Have Nothing. First, we had already discussed here that some people don't like Kat's upper register no matter what (I'm DEFINITELY not in that crowd), and so we had already stated she was best to stay away from that for the most part. Secondly, to choose a Whitney song is just VERY risky and this was a song that Vonzell sang quite well last year and still I don't think got very glowing remarks. So in my mind, the judges had already made their minds up to cut her down a peg tonight especially after last week's glowing remarks before she even sang the first note. But to her performance, I ABSOLUTELY think it was one of her very finest performances all season. No, she is not the belter that Whitney is, but she sang it a different style and sang it VERY well. She was NOT pitchy as a couple of the judges stated and if they think that they need to go back and listen to the recording (which I've already done). I was the first to say the WWTLF was a little shaky a couple of weeks ago and did have some pitch problems, but the judges were MUCH more complimentary of that song and this one was WAAY better in my opinion. In all of any AI seasons I have never been so disgusted with the judges' critique of any singer as I was with the way they treated Katharine tonight. Katharine even moved around with the microphone stand and gave a GREAT performance tonight as she ripped through the song and looked totally AWESOME. She was definitely the best female tonight and I thought only Elliott was her equal. And to make things more frustrating, I look at dialidol tonight and there is Taylor at number one AGAIN and not to be mean but he absolutely gave one of the worst vocals I have ever heard on AI at this stage of the competition but yet noone seems to care. Hopefully the viewers can see past the judges as to how good a performance Kat truly gave to that song tonight.

I was just stunned by their comments. As was the audience, from the sound of it. The song was not "too big" for her by a long shot. Still, she was taking a huge chance by letting herself be compared to Whitney, whose voice should be declared a national treasure or something... I got a lot of busies the first hour but it began letting up seriously after 10, so I spent about 50 minutes just redialing and watching HBO. No idea how many votes I got in, but as everyone says, I hope some of it was a function of having two lines this time. Oh well, we did our best. Never voted so much in my life. And I thought the dress functioned pretty much as intended, if the intent was to knock our eyes out.

I was totally stunned by what happened. Im new to being a fan of Katharine (after hearing her sing last week) and, honestly, I expected a bit of a letdown. But really, she delivered and then some. I loved her again just as much. And I loved the spontaneous duo of The Prayer with Andrea Boccelli preceding. That was a real treat. SHe stepped up and was just beautiful. I thought sure she was going to get raves. She did from the audience but the judges?? I was literally stunned and ticked off. I couldnt believe what I was hearing. What kind of criticism was that? Not as good as Whitney so it is either as good as hers or its bad??? Pure idiocy all around and I still dont know what Paula was trying to say. Im still amazed, both by how good her performance was and by the bizarre reaction from the judges. She sang her heart out and I didnt hear ANY pitch problems, she hit her notes, she was in total control of that performance and deserved so much more. Ive heard they will fix the shows to make it more dramatic. I absolutely believe they did that with her. That is the ONLY explanation for the reaction of the judges. Either that or they are total morons, all of them. Her singing was beautiful and pure.

I have lost any and all respect I may have had for the judges after their comments to Katharine tonight. What a frickin joke. They should retract and apologize to her on the results show, but I'm not holding my breath for that one. Katharine's last appearance on AI will be the last episode I watch.

Out of their minds? Maybe. But I think not. I'm thinking that last weeks comments caused problems-maybe with the contestants themselves, but certainly with some AI fans and media. I've heard claims of excessive "pimping" by the judges, and even heard someone say Simon "annointed" Kat the winner last week. Kat has also been labled a "ringer" by some. So they may have been instructed, or decided themselves, to make it look more fair this week.
