I’m not a fan of armpits either. LOL, that was funny.

To be honest, I did something else when Pia performed. Beautiful - check
Great voice - check
Boring - you betcha.

I can’t believe with all that’s going on in our world, that people would be this upset over a singer on a tv show. The girl had no stage presence, and who in their right mind, would pay to sit through one of her concerts? It isn’t always about selling CDs, you have to sell yourself too at a concert and then there’s merchandising.

She’ll probably be on spokesperson for cosmetics or hair products or something, (the toothpaste commercials belong to Paul) and I’m sure we’ll see her face all over the magazines, but, sell records? Don’t think so.

Carrie Underwood was rather robotic too, but, one could sense a personality underneath the wood. I couldn’t scratch the surface with Pia. Maybe it was there, but, she waited too long to show it.

And week after week, she assumed she’d be there the next week and do whatever the judges told her. I remember Randy saying, “ballads, ballads, ballads.” She was boring him too. He tried to warn her. It isn’t always about one performance, but, most assume she was a frontrunner, and that may not have been the case at all.

I think people were turned off by her snoozefest a couple of weeks ago, and it just caught up with her.

Personality is a big plus. Without that, she’ll go no where except maybe modeling, where she can pose or stand as stiffly as she wants.

I sure wouldn’t waste a dime to buy her music.

MY wife and I were not surprised in the least to see her voted off.

While she has a beautiful voice, she had ZERO stage presence and even less charisma. This week her jerky movements on stage almost made us wonder if she was constipated or something because that is what it looked like, and when your mind wanders to thoughts like that during a performance you shut off listening to the song itself.

CLose your eyes as she performs and it is wonderful, but watching her perform was boring.

By contrast, Paul - who is not even in the same universe singing voice/talent wise - absolutely OWNED the stage Wednesday night. James is also an extremely dynamic performer, and Scotty is just has that sweet kid aura that makes grandmama’s world wide want to just hug and squeeze him to death. Casey also owns the stage on almost every one of his performances.

Haley and Lauren don’t own the stage but they have personalities that just shine through. They are likeable.

Stefano has the CUTE factor going for him, and everyone who has watched the show knows the power of the tween girl vote.

Jacob usually overpowers the stage with his voice, but he broke a cardinal rule by bringing his religion into his pre-performance interview and then compounded the mistake by basically challenging fans to not vote for him with his “If I end up in the bottom three it is because the viewers can’t handle the person they see in the mirror”. COnsequently he ended up in the bottom 3.
