This is JMO, but it's not even generational. It's that this current crop, while they may be talented, are really, REALLY bad entertainers. They may be decent singers, but they do not know how to entertain the crowd.

My ex-boyfriend Paul may have stunk up the joint with Maggie Mae, but at the very least he was entertaining. I don't even really like that song all that much and found myself singing it the whole next day. Same thing with whatever the I Put Spell On You guy's name is, Beardy McGee. He worked the whole stage and was entertaining.

The only girls were so completely dull -with the exception of the two Laurens. Why do they all seem to think that being a girl means you have to sing the most boring power ballad ever?? Liven it up, ladies. People will love you for it.

“What flag is her mom clutching?”

Holy poop, I was Hoping someone on this thread would catch that!!!! Her mom is clutching a Mexican flag!!!! So this is not Mexican idol, sorry!! I hate this girl because of her pro-Hispanic uber alles political correctness. Even though she can sing,

It’s disgusting. We have had kids from every original nationality in the world on this show, and No One has Ever clutched their nation of origin’s flag, or sung in their origin’s language. I want her out of there.

They walk like lumberjacks because their shoes are too high! Four inch heels are like Chinese foot binding. I think things would be better, for young ladies wearing them and old,ladies trying to walk with their huge bunions caused by them, if the most beautiful designer shoes were no higher than 2 1/2 inches high.

Tatynisa wasn’t even on the radar. I wonder if she was confused with?

No, she was the first to sing. She’s African American. No confusing her. I have no idea what’s going on. Dial Idol is usually pretty accurate this early on.

Actually they get more accurate later in the game. Early on there is too much fodder.

I don’t think anyone teaches them how to walk in them, high low or other. IMO, they jump to the 4+ inchers without learning to how walk in the kitten heels. Then they stomp around like peg-legged hunchbacked clydesdales. Again, JMO, but especially with the skyhigh heels, confidence is key. They feel awkward, so they look awkward.

I see a lot of younger women who don’t seem like they feel comfortable with the attention they get in heels and that shows on them, too.

Which one do you think is more accurate? We’ll know tonight of course. One good thing. If Dial Idol is right, and Casey Abrams doesn’t make it in by the numbers, I think the judges will make him a wildcard selection.

Yes. When you have high heels on, you need to walk From The Hips, not the knees. Think Marilyn Monroe, not Bessie the Guernsey.

I completely disagree. With a larger pool if there is one stand out it is overwhelming. When the pool gets smaller the averages are too close to measure accurately with the Dial Idol method of busy signals.
