I think the biggest problem today is that people have been way too obsessed with "the voice" or "the look" or some other thing and forgetting the heart and soul behind "it". Kelly has that heart and soul. That's what makes her potentially great. That's what causes us "oldsters" to compare her (and rightly so) to Joplin. She's not just a pretty face/body/voice. She's a real woman, with a real soul, baring it all to the world. THAT's what gives her the potential for greatness.

And that's what's missing from most of the contestants in a (in my opinion) silly contest/talent show. Very few real artists of any merit emerge from that sort of thing. Ususally one just gets the newest flash in the pan....trendy whatever. I honestly don' t think Kelly is one of those. She's the real deal. (I also think Taylor is one of those)
