Her voice was SO off but she was a trooper, like those little girls you used to see on star search.
Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA Having the losing contestants sing has always seemed cruel. 'Hey, you're going home -- now, sing the song that got you booted off the show.' My idea? Each contestant should have his/her own 'exit' song that he/she chooses. That way, the 'loser' goes out in a little bit more of a high.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 I like that idea too, but it means the band would have to have up to 12 other songs rehearsed and ready to go any given week. Actually, for the semi-final weeks, up to 24. And for these semi-final shows, the only theme is "Billboard charts," which essentially means "any song that was ever popular." If they've got an exit song that they thinks showcases them so well, why not just use it as their competition song at this point? Once they get to the finals and have theme weeks, it does seem like somebody who's not really into country, say, but still has to do a country song might want to have a different exit song, but it does require more work for the band, as you never know who's going out any given week. As for last night, I was unsurprised by everyone but Michelle also. I thought she'd stick around a lot longer than Didi, say.
Originally Posted By trekkeruss Yeah, it would be better if they got to sing a song that got them on the show, be it from the auditions, or Hollywood week.

When she got the boot, it wasn't until she started to sing her exit song that I thought, "oh yeah, that one."
Originally Posted By mele More so than any other season, it seems like the judges' comments do not match the performances. It seems like it's all scripted. They've got their favorites and no matter how (badly) they do, they get praised. I am not sure what music they're listening to but it's not the same thing we're all hearing (and nearly all of my FB friends seem to be hearing what we're hearing, too. LOL) I dislike this show.
Originally Posted By csgoofygirl I wonder what the judges are hearing. Sometimes their responses really don't reflect what I heard at my house. All the girls really sounded pretty rough, except for Crystal. The guys were all over the place. Didn't really love anyone last night. But yet, I'm glued to the TV each week. I'm pathetic.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 While Mike was good last night, I didn't recognize the song and it sounded like he was singing 5 words over and over with alot of humming. I thought they would rip on him but instead Kara is crying and "the best we've ever heard" from Simon ???? I liked Todrick when he had the growl going but the rest sounded off key and flat to me, yet the judges loved it. Of the girls I liked Crystal and Dede. There is a lilt in Dede's voice that I like. The guys.......hmmmmm......well I couldn't get that darn song from Shrek out of my head last night (love the song by the way) so I guess I liked the guy who sang it and of course Casey, although I do agree that the song was safe for him but who cares?
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 BTW, last night DD's boyfriend came in and asked if we liked the show. DH and I said it was OK. He asked if we liked any of the singers and we said some. He asked why we watched the show and we decided it's become a habit. More about ripping on the judges and some of the talent than actually caring and voting like we did when it first started. I guess we are not the audience AI is aiming for, LOL!

Originally Posted By Labuda Oh, one more thing - the duet by two former contestants on tonight's episode will be on my ipod by late tomorrow. WOO HOO! This is a great version of this song!
Originally Posted By mele I agree, csgoofy. Their comments seem scripted because they don't match the performances. It's been driving me nuts this season.
