zactly what we thought here! i don't think she quite knows what she looks like yet, how she comes across; a slightly awkward stage.KenHigg said:
i'm not saying chris only because he's so popular. he's not mixing it up the way he should, vocally. oh well. although...the others aren't really either. they each have a sound, a strength and they are all trying to find rep that suits them. that's what chris does really well. and the bluesman!
except maybe paris. she can mix it up. i think she could be the upset. she's quietly getting through most rounds with some comfort.
Hooray! Bye bye, Chris. Don't let the door hit you in the....
Seriously, he was refreashingly different the first few weeks and then he mananged to turn his uniqueness into the same old schtick.
I'm routing for Elliot at this point, although I think it would be quite delicious if Taylor won. Katherine has gotten better, but she irritated me early on by singing ok or even bad songs and then everyone said how wonderful she was.

I'll vote for her...
Last night:
The final is too close to call... I'll take a stab in the dark and say Taylor wins... Even though Katherine's second song was incredible (though I have no idea why she thought sitting on the floor was appealing?!?), I think she has trouble with some songs. Like her third song last night sounded like she was off key here and there, etc. As opposed to Taylor who can turn any song into his own...

I hear that there have been more people voting on this show than voted in the presidential elections...
Right on. The show is all about personality. If you're cute a bubbly you've got a good shot. Most importantly, though, is you have to fit into one of pre-determined slots on the show well. Are you the cute crooner boy? Are you the country girl? Are you the pretty pop girl? Are you the hot guy? Are you the fat guy? Are you the adorable dork/nerd/geek with a huge voice? Are you the trouble maker/crazy person?
90% of the people who audition are amazing singers; they just aren't good matches with the roles the producers want filled.
That's why I really hope Taylor wins: he doesn't fit the mold. He's weird and I probably wouldn't be into his music, but at least he's different than the standard fare the music industry churns out.
McPhee is good but 1.) she's not great, 2.) she's just another pretty pop/ballad singer and 3.) she's pissed me off the entire season for being praised as spectacular while delivering just decent or even bad performances (Freedom springs to mind).
