I always thought they should have done Jennifer Warren's other big duet soundtrack hit(with Joe Cocker) "Love lift us up where we belong".Taylor Hicks does have that Joe Cocker style.
In all 5+ years I've watched AI season finales, as far as the top 2 duets are concerned, this has gotta be the best one so far. Say what you what, but the chemistry between these two is undeniably hot!
@skippy5032 You think "disgusting" because he beat the shit out of Katharine! hahaha! Get over it dude! It's been almost 5 years! Taylor is the best Idol Winner to date as far as I'm concerned.
@yesitsme9 what?DO YOU THINK TAYLOR HICKS IS THE BEST IDOL EVER?THATS BULLSHIT...HELLO..HE IS NOT IN THE LINE WITH KELLY AND CARRIE..EVEN IN THE LINE OF DAVID AND JORDIN..NOT ALSO WITH FANTASIA AND RUBEN..AND WORST KRIS ALLEN IS MUCH BETTER THAN HIM...OUT OF 9 WINNERS HE IS IN THE 9TH PLACE...im not against with taylor..but thats the truth..
My God, the difference in talent here is staggering. Katharine is a gagillion times better than Taylor, in all aspects! Taylor only sounds pretty good in his upper register, and even then I'm not so sure, while Kat on the other hand has incredible range and can sound good both upper and lower. The man is a joke for a winner. Cannot believe looking back that he took the title.
@yesitsme9 I'm not one to tear people down, but I'm pretty sure Kat is gaining success and is so much more in the limelight. Are you aware she's likely going to be starring in a new NBC show? That she has a movie coming out? That she had an album out last year? Yeah... and what's Taylor done recently? Help perform a "funny" cover of the song "Friday"? That would never have happened had it not been seen as a joke or the song was never done in the first place. bye
I still find it hard to believe that this girl is the same girl I saw doing a concert at Wal-Mart in Oceanside, CA, and had short blonde hair and singing country music 0_0
I liked boths singing and the third place finisher Elliot Yamin was also good. Liked way better than Bo Bice or Adam Lambert., but to each their own. Thought first time I heard them that Constaine had a better voice than Bo Bice, but week Constaine was rejected he made a bad song choice.
I wonder if Taylor ever thought, "I should make a move on Kat and ask her out!" They would have made a god couple. Either that or Taylor and Mandissa...
This is quite possibly the worst duet ever -- absolutely no chemistry. They hardly even looked at each other at all. They could have been singing on 2 entirely seperste sides of the stage.
Katharine is great, but it is Taylor who makes me smile so much. I cannot stop smiling when I watch him perform. I hope he will get a good song and make more hits in the future. He has a talent to make people happy.

They both have talent, but their voices don't work well together. If you want real vocal chemistry, watch Carrie and Bo duetting Up Where We Belong.

Your guess is as good as mine! For me, the final two should've been between either Katharine McFee or Elliot Yamin vs. Chris Daughtry!
