Rachel the Opera Singer!
Exactly. And Matt the country singer. Tammy the cab driver who had a very Janis Joplin thing happening. Bailey blond country singer. Those are just the ones off the top of my head, I’m sure others could name dozens more who stood out and were not picked.
The AI people have no one to blame for this season but themselves. I watch E News while getting ready for work. One day they stuck in there that Pop Idol, the UK show the AI is based on, was canceled in favor of X Factor. On X Factor the judges make the decision about who goes- no audience voting at all.
I guess Simon- and the other producers- said that the voters were not voting for the most talented people, so they weren’t going to let them decide any more. That’s a nice way of saying, “We don’t like the people the voters picked to win.” I can’t imagine that would fly in the US.
I was really rooting for her. I wanted to see how she would deal with the themes.
