And the three stooges have the nerve to bitch about song choice. Maybe they ought to air their grievances with the producers. If the contestants are limited to pick Beatles' songs from '62-'66 only, that's going to blow, because I think most of their best stuff came from '67-'70.

Given the history of 'judge's choice' for the finals, this does not bode well for the niche singers such as Jason or Brooke. I guess this means we won't see David H. performing in a wifebeater and chaps to "Happiness Is A Warm Gun".

I guess this way they finally get rid of the completely unpimped person pulling an unheard song out of nowhere and knocking it out of the park and jumping to the front before they have to rig the votes to get them out.

Yes, Garrett let the cat out of the bag, in case anyone actually thinks they get multitudes of songs to choose from, like the judges allude to in their comments. This would explain why poor Alexandrea chose such a ridiculous song (I don't think someone her age had ever even heard of that moldy old "Chicago" song, "If You Leave Me Now"), and she made the comment when she finished singing the song that "at least it's over." She was so demoralized. She also made a comment about being the underdog in the competition. That's why. She didn't get much of a choice (maybe didn't get ANY choice). TPTB = A*holes

Didn't they say they were taking viewer calls soon.....? hehe

How long before someone snaps and says, "I sang what they told me to sing!!1!11!" Nigel is clueless. "You can't just pick songs you like." Yes, God forbid a contestant dare express themselves and give insight to who they are artistically. I've always known this show was a joke, but it's getting old on top of that.

For example the first week when Garrett didn't get any of his three song choices or Kady who didn't get her first choice for a song the first week. After Simon said it was like night of the living dead she should have said maybe it wouldn't have been if I had to gotten to sing the song I wanted to. Fuck TPTB.

At least this time last season, I had Melinda and Sanjaya's performances to look forward to.

Even with shitty performances to endure for 2 hours I at least had Danny's song choice and sassy commentary to look forward to and Kady's pre-performance video packages.

Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	If what people are saying about the 25 songs and the 1962-66 only timeline are correct, I agree with the conclusion. Fuck Nigel. I wanted to see Amanda blow people away with Helter Skelter, like Storm and Patrice did on Rock Star: Supernova (which maybe they are afraid of being unfavorably compared to?). Or maybe they're afraid of anybody singing "psychedelic" songs and thus encouraging drug use, or some shit like that?? In which case the singers should look hard for subversive songs from Revolver and Rubber Soul, which fall under the wire. Day Tripper is about trippin.' Rain (the flip of Paperback Writer) is obscure, but is a totally drugged out song that falls into the time frame. And Please Please Me is all about asking for a blow job. Go for it gang!!
