Don't get me wrong, I love Simon and his comments too.... You should hear some of the things that I say
... (my roommate gets such a kick out of watching AI with me.) He's harsh and brutally honest and that's what these people need to hear because obviously whoever they're asking must be tone-deaf. "Honesty is the best policy." Who wants to be told sugar coated lies? But, I just think he was too easy on them last night. Annnndd.... if a person can't sing a single note in tune and their pitch is all over the place, you know after half a verse that they're not going to make it, MAKE THEM STOP! Who wants to be tortured any longer?! It's worse than fingernails on a chalkboard. But more so, I guess my gripe with it is that the producers let them get in the final room with Simon, Paula & Randy even though there is no way they're continuing on. I was touched by the wedding ring girl as well.... that's commitment, and ambition. And her husband supporting her, so sweet. The first guy also had a good story, but I think it is just that that makes me like them. They can sing decent, but no one last night was a standout like Kimberly Locke, Frenchie, or others that the second they sang that first note you're hooked saying, "now that's talent!".
