Why did practically all the contestants choose songs that other Idols had sung before (and in most cases, better) Crystal was a breath of fresh air, by comparison (I'm looking at you, Paige - that's my favorite song, too!! And what she did to it was just...cruel. :x )
I know you saw the potential in Jordin, and were one of the few I knew who predicted Melinda's demise, so I defer to your expertise: we're not seeing Melinda/Jordin 2.0 with Crystal/Katie, right? :/
Katie is NO Jordin. At all. Not even close. No way, no how, no. Just no. Paige, Andrew, possibly Tim (sniff, sniff), Lee and Didi will go before Katie, but I don't see her lasting beyond that. With regards to Crystal and Melinda, the difference is that Melinda was great, but kinda boring. Crystal is charismatic and energizing. I think she's gonna make it. I think so.
Hee, so by that logic, Katie is more like Paris Bennett in S5. :p I can live with that. :)
And I must qualify: AAO is my favorite, but ONLY the Phil Collins version. The angsty, emotive version. Not the overblown (IMHO) diva Mariah version. ;p
(I had that song played at my wedding -- weird choice, I know, but my husband and I both love the angst! :p )
I have to say, I've never watched AI regularly before--ever. But I'm tuning in to watch Crystal--love her style and her voice... The rest of the singers ranged from mediocre to disasters.
Have to add--it's not that I don't like the show... I just get squeamish for the contestants that aren't that good--I hate watching people who really are trying their best get raked over the coals...

(Love Troy and Britta!, not as much as Annie and Jeff, but they are still awesome.)

Huh? What is this travesty you speak of? Nope. Only one version of AAO and that would be Mr. Collins'.
