They didn't used to lip synch the group performance. I actually think they just started doing it last season. The reason given was that the kids were so busy during the week with all their Idol related tasks that they didn't have the necessary time to practice that they'd need in order to pull off a live group sing. OK, except for the fact that they used to do it all the time in every other season ever, and they went back to live group sings last year when they got down to top 5/top 4 . . . basically when they got rid of all the crap singers like Tattoo Sleeve and were left with kids who could actually sing. Because I guess the kids somehow got less busy as the season went on and press demands increased exponentially and they started having to sing more than one song each week.
Simon Fuller and Cecile Frot-Coutaz are entirely evil. And I think 19E's parent company may be Wolfram and Hart.
Teenage girls of America, GET A GRIP. Tim is cute, yes, but he can't. sing. a. note.
oh, sweet, naive Amy. That's what autotune is for.
So true, Vortex. Feh.
And now ... god, I can't tell what's going to happen.
holy shit.
I cannot believe the outcome of tonight's AI.
Y'all watch the last 10-15 minutes if you don't watch anything else and try not to be spoiled.
That was good TV tonight, for sure.
Although I didn't like Rihanna's song at all, sadly.
Oh Top Chef Masters, why for fuck's sake are you doing an 11 pm premiere?
I'm guessing it's because next week Shear Genius will be over, so they just want to snag the audience now?
It is stupid.
It is stupid.
It is. The stupidest part is that I will probably stay up and watch it.
