Well, let's see.
Marks on target: Daydream (positive), Hallelujah (positive), Michelle (negative), Over the Rainbow (positive), I Don't Wanna Cry (positive), Memory (negative), September Morn (negative), and Tambourine Man (negative). Randy's negative critique of I Shot the Sheriff was about right. Marks a little harsh: I Just Wanna Be Your Everything, If I Fell, Fragile, Travelin' Thru, and Forever in Blue Jeans. Marks ridiculously off-base: Simon's hysterical reaction to I Shot the Sheriff, and the PRE-Judging of September Morn Overpraised? Didn't happen. |

Bumping for the ridiculous "judging" on tonight's show.

Yeah.... last week they proclaim Cook the best of the night, Simon says Cook should win, the producers say they want Cook to win... (No outrage in this thread
about any of this, off course. Hypocrites.)
So you're really going to have to explain, why they'd praise/pimp Archie last night at all Why? Hey, I got one: Cookie sucked a lot, Archie sucked less. What's yours? |

How can you say that Archie sucked less? he performed THREE slow boring fucking songs. He's shown ZERO growth or progression over this entire season, in
fact his Imagine last night demonstrated that he might have gotten worse over the course of the series.
I have no problem with them praising Archie... he's an okay singer... but the shit they were spewing to DC last night was beyond retarded. Simon criticizing DC for singing a new song instead of Billie Jean or Hello? It's what they've supposedly appreciated about him this whole season...he takes risks and doesn't rest on his laurels. Sure he could've knocked out of those songs out of the park but like he said..why do something he's already done... most other contestants get called for not doing it as well as the first time...something I think they should've said to archie. I think Simon will say something about watching the show back and realizing that Archie wasn't as good as he thought.... so when Cookie wins he won't look like such a putz. |

I'd argue that the judging wasn't balanced (crap, I sound like Fox News), especially for finale night. IMO, Cook's second two songs were better
than Archie's, but I see why at least Simon liked them better (Randy's had his head up Archie's ass so far with his incredibly repetitive comments
- yawn - so I'm ignoring him) because that's his taste. What I find odd is that Simon goes around praising Cook the last week off the show and
doesn't say anything along the lines of, "Archie was better tonight, but it's going to be very close because Cook's had a better season
overall" (I say that because Simon seems to believe that). You have to agree that Simon's behavior at the show was at odds with what he's said off
the show. That's what makes it weird. And what's with winking at Cook at the end?
And for the record, I thought last week's "judging" of Syesha was beyond lame. Worse than last night actually. |

The wink almost looked like - "There you go - I did my job." I'm sure Scree will be along momentarily to debunk this as well. |

You guys aren't answering "why". Why praise the guy you don't want to win, and slam the guy you do?

How many times can Randy use the line "Dude, you can sing the phonebook."
It's possible Simon and Randy tried to piss the fans off enough to create more voting for Cooke. But it's more likely they wanted to back a winner so they don't look stupid. |

Uh... no, that is my point. Anyhow...

I agree in reverse psychology as dangerous. It can so easily backfire. I think everyone is giving Simon WAYYY too much credit and I think he was actually just
reading cue cards like normal.

Even so, you'd think the producers were backing Cook. I missed the part where Archie (the future Britney) the lizard lounge singer would make a fantastic
winner and sell CDs. They already got their kidiot winner last season.
