I think the top 20 would have been vastly different. How many times over the years did Simon say "you're too Broadway, jazz, metal, etc." He was looking for pop stars, not for interesting and varied talent. He would have left off James, Casey, Pia, and whatshisname the Italian guy would have done much better. Of course, what we've ended up with was pop stars and the more interesting contestants didn't make it.
I did think the first time I saw Scotty that he was going to win, but I really would have put him at #3 or #4 as I saw the contest progress. I'd love to know the demographic of the voters. I figured this year the voters were older, but based on the finalists I'm betting the 13 year girls are still carrying the show.
Now we wait with anticipation to see who makes it in real life.
