This is an interesting (and possibly true) response. I assume she's not including herself in that, though.

Bwaaahahahahaha Oh man, that is soooo true. She's the Amanda Avila of this year.

Anyhoo - Miss McPhee is very very good though for all her formal training, she has a bad habit of moving her jaw to get the vibrato. Naughty girl. One of her best singing traits is how she enunciates all syllables of the lyrics. I hate it when singers drop off the last 'r's or 't's of words.

I hope she makes Top 12

I asked myself this question a thousand times...lol

I think Katharine will do well. She fell out off a bit in Hollywood, but I think she will redeem herself and get a spot in the Top 12.

I think she'll easily make it to the Top 12.

I like this girl quite a bit. I'm not sure of her chances, though.

I really like Katherine McPhee. If the competition was judged just on singing girls like Katherine and Mandisa would go very far. Sadly AI is rarely just about singing.
