Elliott Yamin, your time has come.
Not that you’re not talented. And you’re obviously a good guy.
But Katharine and Taylor are clearly the two frontrunners. I thought Katharine’s performance of Somewhere Over the Rainbow was the best of the season. But I wish she would just stand up during all of her songs. What’s the sitting down all about? The girl has a great voice and a bright future, but she is badly in need of someone to manage her career.
Taylor is already a full-fledged performer. My problem with him is that I believe he will be difficult to market. He doesn’t really have a style, and the music industry these days is all about having a style. That’s not a good thing, but I don’t think Taylor will find it easy to find a niche.
Next week will be interesting. You couldn’t ask for two more contrasting styles. I think Katharine is the better singer, but Taylor is the better performer. He knows who he is and that’s probably one of the things that will win the competition for him.
