They both have talent, but McPhee would be easier to commercialize. Personally I root for the underdog (Taylor). Glad he won.
Did anyone notice the duet Taylor sang with Toni Braxton? She took his hand and placed it on her hip and Taylor was totally embarassed and removed it quickly (TIVO helps see this ). A total Southern gentlemen/class act -there to sing and not get caught up in the other "stuff"
