I agree. That was totally inconsiderate. They could have had all the drama they wanted without Big Mouth Randy's lecture. "America, vote for the best!"
"And what are we, Randy?"
That was the most disgusting display in Idol history. Whether it was all scripted for ratings or really the vote outcome, the judges have made the show about them. I don’t need Randy Jackson lecturing me on who I like on Idol. She is the best singer in America...why not the world, Randy? Even Vote for the Worst thought it was awful and are saying—why not crown the girl now? What about the other six kids standing there?
“What about the other six kids standing there?”
I am with you there Miss Didi.
All season long they remind you to vote for your favorite to gin up the vote. Then “What!!!” all of a sudden we are supposed to be voting for the best. If you taste in music is country then the country person is the best. If your taste in music is rock then the rock person is the best. etc. The music world is litered with singers that are not the best but as an artist they can captivate an audience and personify music in a way they causes a reaction in the listener. And that will always be the best singer depending on one’s taste in music.
They just redifined what this show is supposed to be when it comes to voting. Talent plays a big part but so does creativity and star power such as personality and charisma. So if a person has most of the overall package they can win and not be the best singer at all. If the country singer is not cutting it(they may have a great voice on some days not all) and does not possess the other essencials etc...they want get the majority of the votes. They will get the hard genre vote but most people that are interested in the show will move on to others they like as the season plays out. Also by putting the voting in the audience hands they can’t rule out cult of personialty. So if it is supposed to be the best singer in the competion then they need to cut out the middle man, American, or they need to have a save for the every show each week. But at that point it becomes Judge’s Idol and then becomes techanical singing competition not a star creator show.
Obviously those other 6 kids do matter to the voting audience or their “best singer in America” wouldn't have come in dead last.
She is a good singer. But so what. Her song choices and her personal style on stage do nothing for me.
I was completely disgusted by that ridiculous “oh my goodness... the sky is falling” joke of an ending.
