Yes, and the American people voted Clinton into office twice. It wouldn't be the first time the American people were wrong.
When I first saw Taylor on the stage I laughed myself silly. Talent? He can't dance and he can't sing. The other eleven all have far more talent and potential than he does.
Mandisa, Paris, Lisa, Catherine, Kelly and Chris are exceptional and sound like real pros. Elliot, Ace and Bucky have potential but could use singing lessons.
Taylor has no talent what so ever. His appeal is all visual and it's those cheer leading moves he initiates over and over again.
That the American people voted for his dreadful performance FIRST over Catherine, Kelly and Chris's stellar performances speaks volumes. Because he is the best liked, doesn't mean he is the best or even at all talented.
Taylor is not as bad as you have portrayed him but he's not as good as his fans here make him out to be either.
