I don't understand how anyone can not think she was good on Dawson's Creek. I just watched the episode in the second season where she has her psychological break down and her performance was brilliant and on par with actors who win academy awards. She was so believable and I agree she was easily the best actor on the show. She definitely was far better than Katie Holmes who is a lot more famous than she is.

I thought she was terrible on that show. I always thought she was just a crummy actress, but she was quite good on Criminal MindsI think it was the Andie character that was so annoying. Truly cringeworthy.

So who was annoying? The actress or the character?

Incredibly annoying.
It's hard for me to watch American Idol because I have perfect pitch.
