That's right. We, the viewers, were told that in the early auditions phase of the show. Her mother is a professional vocal coach who has worked with her daughter since Katharine was very young. Like you, I think that explains much of what's wrong with the girl's performances.
Exactly, but the change is not for the better, imo.
She claimed that if Elvis were alive, he'd be a supportive fan of the show.
He was known to shoot out tv screens, too. I daresay, he would have shot one out after Katharine's first performance and would have had to view their second ones on a different set, where another tv would have become a casualty during her second performance.
Yeah, definitely not her best two performances.
I agree, I'm thinking Kat, possibly even Chris. But, voters can surprise us and send Elliott home too. Tay tay is pretty much a lock.
With Katharine, you're absolutely right. With Chris, I just think it's his personality.
I would be very happy if either Taylor or Elliott were to win the competition. On one of the morning shows today, Simon said awhile back he thought Kellie Pickler and Chris would be the final two. Now he thinks it will be Taylor and Chris.
Look at Steve Buscemi. Great actor, and I think his teeth go along with the parts he gets. (Part of who he is) Incidentally, I've read that he is super smart.
LOL!
I wish we could download from that link. :(
Two dogs and a cat? Could be a lot of hissing. ;)
Last I knew it was just land line, more to the point, modem dialed calls.
Depending on tonight's vote Taylor will be in Birmingham on Friday for the hometown parade and tour for the AI show. He will be on Rick and Bubba's show Friday morning. They were talking about it this morning. All the final 3 contestants will be taped in their hometowns on Friday. :)
The pre-established fan base is often used to put down Taylor. The truth is that the Soul Patrol came about in late Feb/March on the AI boards. His fan base was based got started when his audition was aired. People who don't normally watch the show heard him and immediately started looking up information about that gray haired guy.
Taylor actually put Under the Radar together late last year after he auditioned from what I read. It is basically a demo. It is NOT a studio quality album. It is very good and enjoyable though. It's well worth my money but it's a good demo record. Taylor simply capitalized on the fact that his name would be recognizable from the audition. He did major in business, marketing and communications. He evidently paid attention too.
Why should he and others like him be constantly put down for sticking to their dream? That has been the one thing that Elliott's fans have been whining about on every board. Taylor has earned his place in the competition. His dad had basically given him the talk about career change and this was his last shot at making it in the music business.
The ONLY criteria the show has is not to be signed to a major record label and meet the age requirements. That's it. If they wanted more restrictions as to who can compete then they would provide more restrictions.
Thanks for that link! I had missed last night's show, and I was happy to get to see Elliot's and Taylor's best performances. Thank you.
Amen. I liked Kevin as well. He has that wonderful self-deprecating sense of humor.
John Peter Lewis always made me laugh. He wasn't the best singer but I always enjoyed his enthusiasm. :) Nice post thanks. Although I don't think Elliot will go home tonight. I think it will be Kat. Hope so anyway.
Has anyone seen any of the Idol boards, or seen any predictions for who goes home tonight?
I was in second grade when Elvis died. Remember some of the little kids crying. :( My teacher was upset too.
Very gracious of you. Thanks for that. It's easy to get frustrated on the threads, but you just showed the rest of us how we should all behave. Thank you. :)
