HA! - I know this chick! ... or at least some of the poop on her. She studied with a vocal teacher I know well. The teacher is an amazing vocalist, teacher, &; producer. And her husband makes awesome websites for her vocal clients. (if interested, they're at www.SingingLessons.ws )

Anyway, THIS chick was evidently quite lazy, but her mom was (still is?) psycho about making her daughter famous - So, after the teacher produced this kid's 10-song cd, and made her an awesome website, these loosers started spreading crap about the teacher and her husband after all they did to basically "polish this turd" as they say in the business. They replaced the awesome website with a crappy one - (which isn't even there at all anymore).

But yes, it's true that "businesses" like American Idol etc. are all about picking "moldable" crap like this girl, who have no true talent whatsoever, -- cuz, as we all know, with enough AutoTune and Photoshop wizardry, even your dead grandmother can look &; sound great these days.

Yet, I'm sure they'll get their due in due time -- cuz the public at large ain't gonna buy crap for too long.

I have been following Taylor for the last two years and think she is really talented. I am from Utah and she was on a tv show here called Create the Group you can view some episodes here: www.createthegroup.net/

There is also a website from a group that she was previously in called 4real that has some great pictures and songs that she sings on. www.4realfans.com

I can't wait to see how far she goes on American Idol!
