46. Gosh! Leave the poor girl alone....It's American Idol already.....Any of our kids who has talent would want to be on it but not with all the bashing she's getting.....Not to mention what it's putting her family through....She's beautiful and who can really tell about her personality from a TV show? She's probably a sweet girl; her Daddy sure thinks so anyway.....YOU GO KATHERINE!!!!!!!

47. I really don't care what she wears, who she dates or whether or not she has
an eating disorder.
What bothers me about some of the comments is that people think Kat is
sweet and nice. Didn't they see the daggers whenever the judges had anything
negative to say. If looks could kill, Simon would be dead. She also had the
most obvious smirk of satisfaction when Mandisa was voted off. She knew
Mandisa was a huge threat. She is NOT a very nice person and I hope people
who have to deal with her in the future watch their backs.

48. Kudos to Dawn & Tracy! You're right on! Kat is beautiful and she DOES have the WHOLE package. The looks, humility, down to earth and a voice that rocks! Taylor Hicks? Yeah, he can sing, but that's about it...the winner on Idol should have the WHOLE package. I think they make medication that would help him with the hyperactivity and Autistic-like outbursts. Sorry Taylor...it had to be said.

49. I give Kat a lot of credit for not using her bulimea problems to gain attention while Idol was on, unlike a certain other contestant who played everything from the sympathy card to the dumb blond card to get extra publicity.

While not a fan of her singing, I think Kat is a very classy young lady, and I wish her all the best.

50. A "personality" is any person in the public eye; not a reference to the individual. PLEASE STOP SUBMITTING COMMENTS IMPLYING THAT YOU ACTUALLY KNOW THESE PEOPLE!!!

51. Dawn & Tracy -- by the way...I'm on a TMZ.com video (from when I met Joan Rivers on the Today Show...I sent her an email to her Match.com account and she wanted to meet me)

52. Who cares how old her boyfriend is? They are both of legal age. Besides, age is but a number.............it's what's in the heart and between the ears that matters!!!!
I say............good for them!!!

53. Bulimic...........I don't think so. Look at women who are really are bulimic MaryKate or Ashly Olsen (which ever (both if you ask me)
Nicole Richie and many others.
These women LOOK BULIMIC ...........Katherine has too much meat on her bones which is a good thing for her but a bad thing to lie about such a terrible problem with young girls today

54. I think she done a terrific job. I just hope the fame doesnt go to her head like alot of new stars who find fame, real fast...She was beautiful each time she came out. As were the rest of the contestants

55. She looks about as bulimic as another Catherine: Zeta-Jones. IF Kat ever had bulemia, she has conquered it in spades - there is nothing skinny about this very well-rounded miss.

56. I have no disrespect for Miss McPhee, but the margin of votes for her compared to Taylor's in the end speak for themselves. It's interesting that while she expressed her singing ability basically the same throughout the competition, the more precise critique of her voice was not expressed by the Judges until the last few shows. She is a lovely young lady, and I hope she finds her niche in the world and will live happily ever after.

57. Why does every female actress, singer, or famous person have to tell the whole world about their dramatic traumas in their lives. You know a lot of women and girls have bulimia and it's not smeared all over the news, web, and magazines. I heard that Katherine had bulimia and I wanted to puke myself. She gets on tv becomes a known person and her life story just spews out( Literally) You know I really don't care about what happened to her at all. I don't understand why people crave to know every famous persons life story and drama. I don't care that one of the Olson twins had a cocaine problem and is anorexic. I don't care that Charlie Sheen is a perverted man and he abused Denise Richards (which I think is a huge lie). What is wrong with people. It's like they need to know this stuff!! Katherine, your a horrible person for doing what you did. I didn't think you were that type of person. But your like every other female star out there, disgusting.

58. You are all ugly little bitches that can't stand the fact that Katherine is in a league above you. Saying you think she is beautiful does not mean you are not jealous of her, as a matter of fact is more proof that you are. I don't know Katherine well enough to hate her and my guess is neither does all the haters here. I don't know her well enough to love hert but I respect the fact that she is a beautiful girl, she is talented, and she is doing something that most of us may never get to do...she is chasing her dream. When a person has the guts to chase their dream, you respect that person not try to bring them down. I would encourage all you ugly, pathetic, keyboard hugging, hateful souls to get a life and stop hating people you don't know. Bitches
