There's nothing special about taylor's voice. He's just an average singer. I would have placed him about sixth just going on vocals. All of Katharine, Elliott, Chris, Paris and Mandisa were better singers. He won on personality and the southern vote.

Taylor winning was a bit anti-climactic. I never gave him much of a chance of winning the whole thing, until the last six or so, when it became apparent he had a big loyal fan base. I never thought he was a great singer, but he has a certain charisma, I suppose. Definitely the most personality, especially when contrasted to the bland Elliott, and the lovely, but not warm, Katharine.
In the end, Taylor just had more bullets in his holster. He was consistent and more versatile than Katharine. On the final show, Katharine had one big cannon on her side, "Over the Rainbow". But her other two songs were cap pistols. Katharine needed an uptempo song as one of her three, and it is telling that the best she had was "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree". I like that song, but it is musical cotton candy. Taylor just had more firepower overall. As an aside, if the two were indeed tied after their first two songs, as Simon suggested, then it came down the originals, and let's face it, Kat's song sucked. Taylor's was marginally better, but who the hell writes these songs, and why does it have to come down to songs like these?
I thought the whole show was pretty entertaining, although some of the contestant/celebrity pairings were odd. Paris and Al Jarreau, okay. Chris and Live, check. But Kat and Meat Loaf? Mary J. Blige looked like she didn't want to have anything to do with Elliott. And did Toni Braxton sing a note out there with Taylor? And why did Prince not have to share the stage with anyone? Is his purpleness too good for anyone?
Hats off to an entertaining season.

I heard earlier in the season that either he and/or his record company wanted him to be on the show (a Prince theme week) but he refused to work with/coach the contestants.homonger said:
Oh yeah, and about Kat, I guess the tig ol' bitties were not enough to make her the winner. (Yes, I'm making reference to the sendup of Taylor they did on SNL.)

Translation - She needs to lose some weight. You could see her mid-section was screaming to burst out of that silver dress she was wearing. If she had Pickler's build she might have won.

I thought so as well. But where did Meatloaf's voice go. Kat seemed to take the lead for the most part. I liked the Mary J/Elliott duet. For the first portion of the song it looked like Elliott just backed away to give the stage to Mary. About half way through he re-joined her and they sang arm in arm and then holding hands so I don't think she wanted no part of him, just a little respect on Elliott's part maybe. She did a great job with the song. Toni Braxton looked hopeless. I don't think she even knew the words to the song let alone sing them. Carrie also got to sing her song alone but yes, Prince is too good for anyone else or so they think or he does. I wish he had done one of his better known songs though, like 'Lets Go Crazy'.
Meat Loaf always specialized in these very theatrical duets. How cool would it have been if he and Kat did "Paradise by the Dashboard Light?" Probably too long a song. Kat's performance during this number leads me to believe she'd be a natural for the Broadway stage.

Because I'm fat I can't have an opinion? The majority of this board is physically revolting.That doesn't mean we can't have an opinion, you pathetic asshole.
I'm really sorry, but Katherine is fat. As the saying goes, "it takes one to know one."
You're still welcome to masturbate to thoughts of her though.

Not at all. Paris Hilton (hopefully this dirt c-u-n-t dies soon) isn't in good shape either, it's just that she's at the other end of the scale. Katherine has a beautiful face, but you can see how heavy she is when she's wearing the form-fitting clothes. She should get in touch with Mackie Shilstone, so she could reach her physical potential. Then and only then will Katherine be able to whore herself out a la Brittney and Christina, so she can make the big bucks.
In the grand scheme of things, there is no way you could say Kat was fat. That said, she is not pop star diva thin either. Christina, Jessica, Mariah, Beyonce, are all skinny ho's. We want our female pop stars thin. It looks better in the video and sells more records.

I agree Mariah has had her chunky moments, but right now she is looking slim and delicious and I don't think it is any coincidence that she has one of the biggest records of her career out now. The fact that we can be so cavalier in talking about these pop tarts' appearance this way is proof of the overall point about what is expected nowadays from young female recording artists. If I am Kat's manager, I advise her to lose a few pounds.
