It's only 3 chords. Don't make me do Against All Odds again!"

She may end up doing well elsewhere when her vocal chords heal. The Miley, Jonas (he's a Jonas Bro right?), whats her name thing was just annoying. Lovely kids but come on.....I felt like I was watching a High School Musical audition. Make the voted off night a half hour show and cut the crapola.

If they have to sing after getting kicked off, at least they can pick a song that they like or think they sound better singing. It gives them a teeny bit of hope they'll get the last minute save. Vote For The Worst is celebrating big time because their pick, Urban, will be on the tour.

The true irony is that Miley Cyrus, Joe Jonan and Demi Lovato would have never made it beyond the first cut of 'American Idol' -- they're horrible!

Actually, I think it's long overdue. <The true irony is that Miley Cyrus, Joe Jonan and Demi Lovato would have never made it beyond the first cut of 'American Idol' -- they're horrible!> Boy, howdy. Or if not horrible, then at least not terrific. With the young women particularly in the Disney stable (and others like them), I notice that they can all belt pretty well, but they're not being taught how to support their lower registers or how to sing quietly and sound good. So when they get to the high belt part that all these formulaic songs have in the formula, they sound okay. And in the studio, the technology can now make the other parts sound okay. But put them on stage singing live, and the truth comes out. That, and all the runs/trills/over-melisma masquerading as "emotion." Yuck.

Originally Posted By ecdc That's the problem. These people like Miley Cyrus aren't artists; they're products, marketed and packaged by the companies that essentially own them.
Originally Posted By mele We're watching last night's epi right now. I'm even more pissed off than usual at the fact that Miley has a career. I didn't think I could get more irritated by it. Holy crap. Find a note, please? This sounds worse than I have anything I have ever heard. It's that bad.
Originally Posted By TXDISNEYNERD I skipped a lot of the results show as I knew I didn't want to sit thru that, and based on your reviews above, I'm glad I did. I just saw who was the bottom three and then who was voted out. I find it funny that so many of these guest stars can't really sing. I was watching Nashville Star once and their guest was Taylor Swift. My DH was in the other room on the computer, but was kinda listening. He shouts to me during her singing that she was the worse singer yet and she won't last long on the show. He was shocked that she wasn't competing on the show, but was the guest singer. I'm glad they are letting them sing different songs than the one they got kicked out on. That always seemed cruel to me.
Originally Posted By mele Yeah, Taylor Swift is really awful live. Amazingly, so. I think I'ma gonna have to go with Kanye afterall. He's still a jerk but Beyonce can sing live while dancing her rear-end off.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 LOL about your husbands comment TX! If I hear that "another mountain" song one more time I'm going to have to start wearing ear plugs at the office, car, mall and now watching my soap opera. Oh my gosh, I think it's from that Miley movie that is coming out and the song is already over exposed.
Originally Posted By Terminus Rooting for Lee and Didi... Not sure why. I like them both. Paige was terrible, deserved to go home. Tim's time is coming up soon...
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 ^^I also like Didi. I've mentioned it before that there is a lilt or something in her voice that I really enjoy
Originally Posted By TXDISNEYNERD Didi does have a nice voice, but she just seems forgetable. I haven't heard what the theme is for this week or who the mentor is, but I'm sure it will be tons better than last week for the over 30 crowd.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 Boy howdy. This week is "classic R&B." Sounds like something all my favorites could ace (Crystal, Mike, Casey, and even Siobhan - remember "Think?") and probably Lee, but that some of the, shall we say, more suburban kids might stumble over.
