My favorite Taylor performance, actually, was In The Ghetto. I also thought he did well on Living For the City, Levon, Trouble, Something, You Are so Beautiful, Try a little Tenderness, and the latter part of You Send Me. They were all great songs within his range.You're right about Kat's beauty. As much as her voice differs from week to week, I SWEAR that she has never looked the same way twice. If there wasn't a caption everywhere she went that said "Mcphee," I might have had trouble recognizing it was her. From the span of three songa in the pre-finals round, she managed to not only look unrecognizable per her first audition, but also from Hollywood round, and from her "intro" video to actual performance. She never looked the same in her video package as she did while walking on stage. She was a different person with sometimes a different personality to go along with the look. The transition in look and voice from UYCBTM to CROCS... Remember STWOM and then straight to I Have Nothing? The Voice Within to Bringing out the Elvis where she almost looked (almost) the same for Who Wants to Live forever, but then you remember the Mcphee practicing with the band to the completely different one rehearsing WWTLF to the even more different one that walked out on stage (have I gone through all her performances yet)? Oh, and then on Final night...you know. I think there really exits dozens and dozens of brunette haired girls named Katharine Mcphee who masquarade as the same person. This would explain for Kat's impossible jet-setting schedule and the possibility of sounding like Christina singing I Believe I can Fly to Jane Monheit's SOTR and to "Blues," but then sounding like a funner version of KT Tunstill. I can barely get my thoughts organized and explain this strange phenomenon in a way that makes sense even to myself. I project a long and experimental career for Katharine Mcphee.
" What may be pitchy to you is the essence of what he is."You are so right. My worst Paula moment was when Simon told Kat she made the others look like "good amateurs," and Paula's never cared when he said that before, but all of a sudden she's talking all over him and not letting him finish giving positive praise. I really wanted to hear what he had to say, and despite whether what was wrong or right about his words, he at least had the right to finish. Unfortunately, Simon let Paula ramble endless times. I actually thought her comments were the most unfounded of the I Have Nothing performance. She said it was pitchy and flat and the clincher was that she didn't even apologize. She was searching for something negative while I believe Randy can't help being a snob when it comes to Whitney, and...you know SImon. Yes, and at the finale when she and Randy were celebrating over besting SImon for Taylor....I was so embarrassed for her, especially because she didn't even stop to think about Kat's feelings for so obviously wanting someone else to win. I would liked to have seen her face when Kat won because no matter what Taylor did that year, Paula and alot of the time Randy, didn't even comment on the singing, just on how fun the performance was. The judges must have been in a competition all their own this year because Simon was P o'd when Chris left, and Chris was his only shot for not having Chris win. Randy and Paula just wanted to show Simon up to somehow validate their judging status.
