I think we are just so used to Katharine being so confident and mature and articulate (despite the overuse of "like") that we expect the other older idols to be so too. Case in point - Chris in the homemade Billboard Awards video. It was like Katharine was the older, more mature and far more articulate of the two, she led the way, she was the one "in charge". Chis was reduced to repeating himself about "looking hot" and letting out a woop like a teenager. Ok, so he doesn't have her experience being in the public eye (hmmmm...pause to think - no he doesn't, he has the idol tour and that is about it, Katharine has that as well as endless other interviews and public appearances) and he has a crush on her and that was her BF behind the camera, but still - dude is what, 28? and our little girl is only 22, and she "owned him" (to use the current vernacular.)

The last time we saw Katharine and Taylor together was the Ford thing and there it was Katharine who stepped up and made the gracious speech while Taylor was reduced to a few mumbled thank yous.

Yup, when it comes to non-perfoming public appearances, our girl wins there too.

Do you remember the special gig for the Ford suits?. Katharine made a gracious speech and thanked Ford. Taylor then said "Yeah. what she said". Katharine by comparison made Chris look bland and inexperienced at the Billboards, but these guys are lucky to have Kat cover their butts. Let's face it, Taylor was the winner but how many magazine covers did he have? and how many personal appearances and interviews has he had? and when we is asked to present an award, he's a no-show (for whatever reason).

Hey, I don't want to get into any problems with TH fans lord knows I have had enough trouble from then on the AI site and I KNOW they run surviellience here., But I do think that his uncomfortablility with the media and the industry will hurt him in the long run. To me skipping the Billboard awards in order to perform on GMA the next morning was a huge mistake and very telling to me. He knows himself and knows that that audience would see right through the "WooHoo Soul Partol" personality and performance and recognize that he simply isn't that great a singer or performer. He connects with his fans and that is great but he has a severe inability to connect with anyone beyond those who have drunk the "Soul Patrol" kool aid. And that will hurt him in the long run IMO.

But Katharine is so at home in these ciircles. She thrives on them. They love her and she captivates an audience everywhere she goes and that will be a major asset to her going forward.

This simple fact is this.  Katharine fits in with the Hollywood/media scene and Taylor doesn't.  That's not slamming Taylor.  It's just a fact.  That doesn't mean Taylor isn't an entertaining guy when he performs.  And I like him as a person.  He just isn't natural doing interviews.  Could you really see Taylor doing an hour on Dr Ablow and being fascinating the whole time?

I saw him on Megan Mullally today and he did look more comfortable on there.  Probably because he knew she wasn't going to ask him any tough questions since she admitted to voting for him 700 something times.


"I saw Katharine McPhee when there were about 12 contestants left on American Idol. She blew me away. I loved her grace, her style, her poise, her voice and her hair! I wanted her to be the face of Sexy Hair because she represented everything that I had in my head for the brand: youth, beauty, talent, class, a young sophistication, and sexiness." -- Jim Morrison, CEO of Sexy Hair Products.

Hey guys,even though this is a Kat fan base you shouldn't go around posting mean things about Tay. I'm a really big fan of his and if you're going to be posting something that might get a fan upset please post the topic something like "No Tay Fans" or somehting like that....but then I don't even know why I'm posting this,I'm probably the only one on here that likes Tay.

Hey there..you're not the only one who likes Taylor too. But you have to take these things with a grain of salt, if you always take into heart what others say, you just end up hurting people and yourself too. Just do what you do best, and that is supporting Katharine and Taylor as well.

Maybe Taylor is still getting used to all the attention he's getting right now. I mean, he went from playing unnoticed in small joints then he won AI, I mean, that's got to have a big transition there. As for Katharine, well, she's an LA girl, she's not fazed at all by this "celebrity" thing, having basically grown up experiencing it. She's a natural when it comes to these things.

But it doesn't mean that Taylor's just a few words person. I'm sure he can just be as fascinating as Kat, maybe he's just trying to let it all sink in and learn in the process. I'm sure he'll also do well.

Let's be grateful Taylor doesn't just speak in caveman guttoral sounds. Believe me, it's come quite close to that with other people within the world we're currently living in.

Am I wrong when I heard Taylor studied law for a number of years? If so, then he must have had some training in getting up and speaking intellectually on various subjects. I heard some stories a while back that Tay is actually quite intelligent and was doing well in law school before embarking on his singing career. So we shouldn't go by his oft-repeated "Soul Patrol!" chants as indicative of his intelligence level. If you're not used to speaking eloquently in front of TV cameras, it can make you shy...even if you have a lot of important things to say.

I've known people like that who are Mensa level people...yet are very shy and stay quiet in crowds. I sometimes wonder what they're thinking, but they just prefer to express their thoughts and skills through other avenues.

All that said, I've seen Taylor on TV speaking out intelligently a few times on matters--plus reportedly in ways that showed he was smarting over people thinking he had a low intelligence. There was a report that he snapped back at some staff person during the 'AI' tour and during a m&g. He reportedly retorted, "I know that! I'm not stupid!" or something close. I don't know what was said to him to set him off...but I've always wondered if he has more wheels turning than some people realize.

Being the kind of singer he is I guess brings on those stigmas.  Also, the southern U.S. gets an unfair rap for having people who aren't smart. That's not true at all. Even Kellie is smarter than she plays on TV--despite enhancing that "dumb" stigma a bit.

Maybe I'm wrong on hearing Tay studied law. I swear someone said that on the 'AI' board quite a long time ago. If that's right, the man probably has a lot to say than we think he does. I think Tay just let Kat talk more at the Ford event because it was more gentlemanly to do.

You're right. And you're so right about me....I'm sorry,just when it comes to Tay I'm a little touchy. But you're so right. I never want to hurt anyone.
