Again, Im not saying that Taylor doesnt deserve to be American Idol. He did great and the fans of the show thought so also. Obviously. I just dont think he’ll be one of those artists that will last in the industry. I personally thought Katherine had a better chance. Im sure she’ll land a record deal though.

It is American Idol, but why does that mean that the winner has to look a certain way? That’s one of the things I liked best about Taylor. He won even though he didn’t fit the mold. Most people don’t look like Katharine.

At the marketing standpoint I just think the girl would do better overall.

It is in fact the American Idol. You have to have a good voice, but the sad truth is that looks count for alot also.

Katharine just never really seemed to feel the music, and she seemed uncomfortable with every other song she sang. Kelly Pickler admitted to butchering a song or two, but Katharine did it just as often. The judges weren’t picking on her, she was just wildly inconsistent.

But to be fair, I’ll admit that I also don’t care for Katharine because I read that behind the scenes she was a huge bitch. I usually can’t forget stuff like that.

Ian, I thought you were dead. You don’t call, you don’t write. Birmingham pride. I think they said Birmingham has been home to three finalists now. Impressive.

It was tough to see Elliot go Jorgeq. I know he’s going to have a lot of success though. He’s a really likable guy with a great voice. And kind of dorky. The anti-Ace. Thank God.

If I had to choose someone, it would have to be Katherine. Taylor is good too.
