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!

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.

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

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.

Whoever wins, they'll both be forgotten in a few months.

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.
