After watching Idol I'll simply make four statements:

1) Katharine is a true musician and deserves to win because as Simon has said so many times -- IT IS A SINGING CONTEST. She was musically better on all 3 tunes tonight. She may not have the stage presence that he has, but he is 29 and has been performing live for many years. She is 21 and in 8 years she will have the same stage presence as he has, but her voice will be 100 times better than his. Musically she was the best all season, and Elliott was second best!

2) No matter who wins Idol, Katharine will be the superstar to emerge from this season very much like Clay did in his season as an Idol finalist but not winner. She will have a hit CD out later this year, and her music will be widely accepted on the radio, something that will be a major problem for Taylor (he's much more fun to watch than listen to).

3) Taylor will have a great career as a stage performer in a place like Las Vegas. He will have one hit CD because people will buy his first CD if he wins American Idol tomorrow night. If he loses he will be forgotten on the national scene within 2-years

4) Katharine has studied well with her mother and I have enjoyed her performances. I'd be willing to bet that the other 11 finalists have less musical talent than 50%-60% of the people who post on TM. It's a shame that God gave us our talent to play the trumpet instead of the ability to sing popular tunes that would go over well on the radio!
