[StBernard] American Idol

[Westley Annis]

I think Taylor is the best talent seen on American Idol.  Catherine's style
comes a dime a dozen.  The way Taylor sings and the energy he puts into it
is a timeless expression that will last longer than any pretty face trying
to be a Whitney Houston.  Her music will be on bubblegum pop stations.
Taylor's will cross over to pop, R&B, country, soul... all that jazz.  Go
Taylor!  Soul Patrol to the end!!!  And Catherine, have a nice day :)

	I like Taylor. I think he's a great kid and a "fun" talent. But if
he and
	the girl, Catherine, were public companies needing investors, I'm
not so
	sure I'd sink any of my capital into Taylor. I don't expect Taylor's
career
	to last too long - he just doesn't appear to have what they call
sustainable
	talent for the recording industry over the long haul. Now, Catherine
and
	that cute blond girl who got knocked off a few weeks ago (who often
sang
	country), I'd invest big bucks into them. You'll see both of them
around
	for several years to come.
	
	Overall, I thought this was one of the more disappointing years for
overall
	talent among the final group of contestants. Oddly enough, when they
	started off it appeared they would be the most talented. I still
think the
	group a few years ago with Ruben Stoddard and Clay Akins was
probably the
	best.
