she could never quite get the theater out of her system while on Idol. That's what caused her to lose the title, in my opinion.

I'd add song selection to the list -- she kept trying to be a Mariah/Whitney style "diva", but she is much better suited to a more husky/vamp style. Ertha Kitt or even Marilyn Monroe would have been better role models for her.

I agree. She just wasn’t THAT good. She could get most of the song, but, when she clunked, SHE CLUNKED. Didn’t she put out a CD afterwards?
