I've forgotten to watch the past few weeks, whoops!

I don't understand all of the Katie hate. I don't think she's all that great, but I certainly find her less offensive than the other girls like Pigpen, er, Crystal and Siobhan. Katie actually has a really good voice for country music, but it does seem a little odd coming from this WASPy teenage girl from Connecticut.

The one contestant that I loathe is Siobhan. Sure, she can scream a dog whistle frequency when she wants to. But she has absolutely no connection with whatever song she is singing. And her singing style is quite conventional while her got-dressed-in-Cyndi-Lauper's-closet-without-the-lights-on look is incongruously out there. She's a poser and there really is nothing original about a girl who can stay in tune but cannot deliver a song properly. And to be quite blunt, she's kind of hard to look at. Yes, that's harsh, but maybe it wouldn't be so bad if she would just clean herself up a bit. Unfortunately, if Crystal doesn't snag the Idol win, it will be Siobhan.
