Last year, they had a head-to-head with Kelly and Justin singing the same song(s). Of course, they obviously didn't mind Kelly showing up Justin. How interesting that tonight we saw no head to head, eh? Ridiculous. I'll be composing a letter to Fox. I'm sure they won't care, but maybe others who are upset will complain, as well, and generate enough numbers for them to get the message.
Ruben's intro was much more favorable, mentioning and then showing juicy comments from the celebrity judges, then not doing anything similar for Clay. They're so blatant about it.
MM, back to voting
They also didn't judge the individual songs last year as they did this year. I looked at it as one more opportunity for Simon to try to control the competition...but his last comment did surprise me.
