Fran,
Kate made two bad obvious errors in her rainbow performance that really marred it for listening vocalists and/or musicians. However for laymen it would sell well. she would not have made either of these booboos if she had a decent vocal coach, which she will have before burning any CD's for internationl publication.
I like Taylor. I like to watch Taylor. I like some of his vocals. He is a fine showman and can really work a house and that is what sells in the clubs, and theatres but not on CD's.
I expect Taylor to win but that is certainly not to say that Kate looses. I anxiously await her CD.
I am also anxiously awaiting a cd from one of our plank owners here in this forum to be playing on my trip to Canada in July.2500 miles of 4.00 fuel at 7 Miles per gallon and good music.
Fran be glad you don't have a motorhome right now but if you get/got the yen we can talk
Best to you and yours,
Bebop
