Some people are like "oh, she thinks she's better than the judges, and she's so uppity complaining to them that they've been to hard on her." Well, they have been too hard on her...on the other hand, I think they're pushing her hard because she really is capable of more than she's been giving. You can see that in the behind-the-scenes clips.<br><br>I don't think she's got anything to be ashamed of in the competition (unless perhaps allowing them to write her such a horrible single to close with last night). But you're right, Taylor seems to have taken the place by storm somehow. He can sing, sure, but mostly he's got a stylistic and originality advantage over Kat...Kat has the best pure singing voice, but I don't think she hit her full potential on Idol.<br><br>Wow, long comment. I've clearly been thinking about American Idol waaaaaay too much. :)JandyWed, 24 May 2006 13:12:00 -0000http://www.the-frame.com/blog/2006/05/23/red-vs-blue/#comment-1748789I have always thought Taylor had the least ability singing wise of say the top 6 finalists. But his attitude seems to have carried him. Kate has one of the best voices but she seldom nails a performance. But I think she might have taken more criticism than anyone else. I don't see her talking back that much, I guess I didn't notice it that much. I thought she did pretty good with taking a lot of criticism. But I will be surprised if she wins. Taylor just seems to have everyone in his hip pocket.RobertWed, 24 May 2006 11:15:00 -0000
