I think these judges give the kids mixed messages.
1) They get a list of approved songs to choose from. Don't want them singing Bette Midler, don't put it on the list.
2) They tell them to take chances and not play it safe. A few of the women did and they got stomped on.
3) They get on their cases for giving wooden performances then whine when they sing performance songs. And, just what was Chris' song last week but a performance song?

Excellent points!
