Guys and gals, the main thing that concerns me after what happened last night was that this could really affect Kat's confidence going forward.  Think about it, she just gave the performance of her life, and was feeling so good and then was totally unexpectedly sideswapped with some of the WORST criticism I have ever heard from the three stooges.  I mean did you guys see her starting to cry during Simon's critique.  It made me so mad and I just wanted to give her a hug and tell her how well she did.  There was just no let up and they gave her absolutely NO positive feedback after one of the best AI performances ever in my book.  Is there anything we can do over the next week to hopefully try to build her back up so she can go back out with the self confidence she needs to perform at her best?  I refuse to even let myself think she could go home tonight so she is going to have to bounce back from this and put it back together for next week.  Any ideas?

Good one! Although given Kat's admitted personal insecurities I not even sure that would help. There probably is not much we can do other than pray for her and hope her family and friends give her lots of love and encouragement this week. I just felt the judges were really unfair to her last night and I was thinking back to her stating that her fans believing in her had helped her to believe in herself and wondering if there might be some gesture on our part that would help her out.

I think a lot depends how well the voting goes. If all goes to plan, she can stick two fingers up at Curly, Larry and Mo.

Doing well in the vote will do all the spirit lifting that's required.

Fingers (and all me other bits) crossed for her.

O.K. ...while my first suggestion should probably do it....I'll add some other comments....first of all, she’s not going home tonight….she may be bottom three…but that will only help generate additional voting for her next week…


Secondly, I don’t think she’ll be as shaken as you might think….she’s been both criticized and praised…and her mother is a seasoned enough performer to help her through the unfair criticism….and Kat will no doubt be aware of the backlash from fans and the general public that clearly don’t agree with the comments…and I believe even her fellow contestants will validate that her performance was great and certainly did not warrant the degree of criticism she received.


Finally, I truly believe, there may be method to the judges madness…Simon’s heaping praise last week was well deserved but might have hurt Kat as much as it helped her….it could turn potential fans away from supporting her if they feel she ‘so far ahead of everyone else..’ and doesn’t need the votes….also last week both Paula and Randy jumped all over Simon when he was being so effusive with his praise….maybe they know the counter-productive effect such huge praise can have on the voters (especially given her ‘too perfect’ image) and they collectively decided to ‘help’ Kat this week by criticizing her…because based on her performance, there is no way Kat deserved that level of criticism….smells like some posturing and politics to me, that may work to Kat’s advantage….


I still think handing her the mirror will work though….
