This show hit a SERIES LOW in the ratings last night...maybe they’ll tick back up a bit next week now that the sodomite has been flushed.
Gosh, I can see why. I loved the show when it was discovering the likes of Carrie Underwood, Kelli Pickler, Jennifer Hudson, and Taylor Hicks, to name the obvious ones. I think Paula had something to do with good choices. For all of Paula's at-times illogical strangeness, she seemed to recognize who was sincere and had that inner aspect that led them to excel.
I thought of the contrast during the perfomance show when JLo was defending a singer who took a very deep, meaningul song and sang it with not emotion or meaning whatsoever. I was pretty disgusted....you're never going to find inspired talent if the meaning of the lyrics is irrelevant to the singer.
JLo's not a singer on stage, she's an exhibitionist, so her success doesn't count as singing success. JMHO
