Whew! I'm glad to hear how much everyone hated the originals. Sometimes i feel so out of touch with the general public, but I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking those two songs were pure crap.

I think Kat cracks when she is nervous. (as some have said her practice songs sound better than the show's performance.) When she came out for that final song I seem to remember her eyes darting a bit and looking apprehensive. She looked like she knew the song was gonna blow. And the last note of the first phrase (repeated during the verse) was some dissonant note that is hard to pull off no matter who you are.

Still Taylor's song wasn't any better and he made it his own at the end.

Love them both (As I've said, my two fav of the entire contest) but I'll give it to Taylor based on a basic tie up until the last song.

And this once again proves how no matter how good a singer is, Idol will give them crap to work with. Looking forward to Taylor and Kat's contract to expire to see what they can really do!

I admit I haven't watched the show, but I did see the contestants in a commercial once. Am I the only one who thinks that one dude looks like Father Ted?

The

The Chris' song with

should be good, I loved that version. And I saw that the two members of

were in the audience the night that Elliot got booted. I wonder at what point they started watching the show? Maybe after Chris covered their song in Week 7 or whenever that was, caught their attention.

Arrgh! American Idol Finale and the Lost Finale overlapping each other by an hour.

Last night's episode was the first that I have seen all season, and I FFed most of it, but does anyone else think that TH sounds just like T Graham Brown (for you country fans anyway)? Soon as I heard him singing I couldn't get over the resemblance.

FWIW, I wouldn't buy a CD from either one. Well, maybe Kat if I could just look at it and would not have to listen to it.

If the producers knew what they were doing they would have Taylor & Katharine duet on "Up Where We Belong".

Not sure if this is tongue in cheek - but didn't Carrie and Bo sing that last year on the finale show?

How about "We've Got Tonight"...although I don't think Kat could hit the high Sheena notes.

Actually, I read that they are doing a duet. And if it's true, they said it would be:

the winner is *Spoiler aka too lazy to learn how to black it out*

Taylor Hicks

my friend got to watch it "live" every night, and by "live" they of course mean "film it earlier without any additional takes and broadcast it later", but i digress. i know its pretty obvious by now, and i didnt believe my friend either, but he has been spot on with the winners and losers every night.

congrats to taylor

Kat brought out the pups tonight for her duet with Meatloaf. Let's just be grateful that Meatloaf did not display his moobs in his performance with Kat.
