Jeff, we--at LAist--think that you need to step away from your TV a little more often. Though that Diane Warren line was great. As for Kat vs. Taylor, we think there may be some sort of a conspiracy against McPhee. Someone wanted to make her lose by giving her the greater of two evil, sucky songs... again, we don't care that much to watch tonight during lost.

I beg to differ with Ms. Ziemba. Taylor Hicks is clearly the winner. Admittedly, both of the contestants' singles sounded as if they were written by Diane Warren on zoloft but Taylor clearly improved on what he was given. Katherine did not. Also, Taylor's joy in performing is infectious to his audience, while Katherine doesn't yet have chops to achieve that. And Ms. Ziemba, who is this "we" you refer to? Are you a siamese twin?
