Actually I've never really paid attention to where contestants are from. I really don't care about that. I care about the talent factor and I think Taylor is a fake. Wait and see guys. He's putting on this act of being a crazy girating entertainer. All of them are in it for the fame. If they weren't they would do stuff like having a "soul patrol" or jiggling around on stage. From the beginning they all want to have something they will be famous for. I think Kat is a bigger talent and I'm actually glad she didn't win because she won't be under as heavy of a contract as Taylor will
Leaving her more options.
