        <![CDATA[ I&#39;m all for exploring interesting camera angles, but not when you can&#39;t see a single one of the contestants during the opening number in the finale!
I nearly had a seizure during the first five minutes. Every other shot was taken up by waving arms in the fake mosh pit. And I hated not knowing whether I was
looking at the top 12 or a crazy pack of dancers. Terrible. Just terrible.

			<description><![CDATA[ Aside from the well done (but pre-recorded) &quot;boxing ring&quot; shots, the direction in the finale was terrible. At one point Jordin was singing and
(sorta) dancing and actually moved completely out of the shot. When your camera can&#39;t keep an object as large as JORDIN SPARKS within the frame, you know
things are seriously fucked up. ]]></description>

<p> You mean the waving of the arms to the slow songs?  I.  HATE.   THAT!

Not that the camera angles on the opening number DIDN&#39;T suck, but the problem was greatly magnified by the genius who decided to dress... ]]></description>

The direction was dreadful, simply dreadful.  I&#39;ve seen better directing on cruise-ships.

			<description><![CDATA[ <font face="Tahoma">They are trying to change things up with the angles and screwing things up completely. In their attempts to freshen up the show with
special angles and dangles it&#39;s gone down hill.  The opening shots for the finale sucked. As someone said which one were the twelve and who were the
dancers? They kept shooting Cook&#39;s ZZtop performance from down where the fans are sitting and you&#39;ve got hands waving in the air in front of the
performance. It looked like a fifth... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Yes, dagny.  i noticed towards the end of the season that their absolute FAV camera angle of Cookie
<br>
was from down below him.  So basically you got to see right up his nose.
<br>
<br>
<br>
I think the most glaring standout bad editing job was when Cookie was singing Music of the Night...
<br>
he&#39;s finishing the song and hitting the glory note, and their showing the violins.  *rollseyes

			<description><![CDATA[ I had a problem with the camera angles throughout the latter half or third of the season.  Can&#39;t pinpoint timing exactly, but I know it made me feel as
though I wasn&#39;t getting the visually best compliment to the songs.  Much of the time the cameras were pulled too far back. Or not focused on the performer.
<br>
<br>
The finale was the worst, though.  Filming the back of the performers?  Allowing the waving mosh arms to take up 1/2 of the screen?  And when there are dancers
involved it... ]]></description>

the montage behind. No one cares about Ruben!
