I'm not too clear what the rules are regarding negative comments toward Non-Kat topics, so I hope this is okay....

I chose choice number three because Taylor has actually got a fantastic voice for his genre. I've checked out some of his Pre-Idol tracks and was very impressed with his abilities as an artist.

Regarding his voice on Idol, however...He fell flat too often for me to believe the American public chose him based on his onstage performance only. Remember "Take Me Home..." or "Not Fade Away" I admit to LOVING "In the Ghetto" and "You Are So beautiful" was nice because they were withing his range.

When he did upbeat stuff, his voice didn't "reverberate," which is a pet peeve of mine. Kat is really one of the only people whose voice echoes with little effort, so I find it difficult to appreciate a "staid" vocal. Remember "I've Had the Time of My Life?" Perfect grounds for comparison.

My aunt (who had never seen idol before) came in while I was playing the duet back on my computer and said "Oh no, he shouldn't have one...His voice isn't "there."  Okay, I'm done venting. I've been bursting to tell my true opinion of Taylor's voice forever now, but I'd hate to be called a basher. I hope I'm not breaking any rules or anything.


P.S. I always found it amusing when Taylor/Chris/Elliot fans have the nerve to say Kat has a limited range...hypocrites

Their singing doesn't even come close to Katharine's caliber.

Anyway, I've never understood the whole Taylor appeal. I thought all he did was dance...

American Idol USED TO BE a show where the best singer (or one of the best singers) in the competition ended up winning. That wasn't the case this year.

The thing I don't understand about AI is what's the point of dancing and stage performance? Now AI is over and he is releaseing his albums. Did he dance in the studio while recording? Do all the Soul Patrol see him dancing through their CD playback? If AI is looking for an entertainer to do live shows, I can understand. But the purpose of AI is looking for a singer to record album, right? Did anyone question why Andrea Bocelli doesn't dance on stage? Does he have any stage performance? I don't know how to answer.
