LadyGrey 6 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 They said 71 made it out of ninety something, so it wasn't like they sent home a ton of people.Exactly... what a waste of 2 days, only getting rid of ~20 people. It's not easy to work in a group like that, especially when you get stuck with a bitch like that ugly curlyhaired chick who forgot her words. What a lame-o. When she was talking to the camera about getting the cupboard to work in and she kept flailing her arm in the air I REALLY wanted to punch her in the face. Repeatedly. Everyone that picked the Stefani song was stupid, but it seems lame that some good singers got eliminated based on that. A few of the ones that got through really surprised me. There was one young brown haired guy who got through, I think he was in the group with the new father, and I thought he (young one) was really bad. Also didn't need to spend 10 minutes watching about this guy's wife having a baby. Great ploy to get airtime though, wonder if they planned it this way. Link to post Share on other sites
Mercury69 3 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I just thought it was stupid to sing that Gwen Stefanie song. That was probably the worst song choice ever. I mean, sing a song that is easy to learn and showcases your voice, don't try and impress the judges by making choices of difficult songs, especially for a group.Worse than Bad Romance by Lady Gaga? If so, it must have been an absolute horror show.Anyone know if Leukemia Girl got through? I rather liked her. Link to post Share on other sites

There was one young brown haired guy who got through, I think he was in the group with the new father, and I thought he (young one) was really bad.I think they let the rocker chick through because the Pink song she did was very good. So I'm guessing that the judges realized she was horrible in group day but decided to give her a 2nd chance because of her earlier performance.The curly haired chick was a train wreck. They were even snapping there fingers the same as they were the year before when she was paired up with Gokey.I'm with you on that guy who went through with the new father. He did not sound good on group day, and he didn't sound good in his solo on Tuesday. The judges must be hearing something that I'm not. Link to post Share on other sites

JoeyJoJo 18 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Speaking of Jason Castro...Does everyone remember when he did the Jeff Buckley version of Hallelujah? Simon's critique was that it was fantastic and he also mentioned it's one of his favorite songs. But by Jason's own admission he didn't even really sing it all that well.So...do current contestants study past seasons? It'd be like an athlete studying game film. Find out what songs the judges like and stick with those or very similar songs. If song choice is half the battle, you'd have an advantage right away. Link to post Share on other sites

So just doing a song that was liked in the past is not necessarily going to score you points. Link to post Share on other sites

Randy Reed 0 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 It also seems to me that they have purposely avoided people with professional singing ties as all the contestants are pretty clueless from what we've seen. I'm sure there are hundreds of semi-professional singers playing in bands that were better than whaty we've seen. Link to post Share on other sites
