Pia Toscano
American Idol - It's time to turn off after last nights voting, even the judges were unhappy with the “American Idol” voters for their decision to send Pia Toscano.
Jennifer said “I’m shocked. I’m angry. I don’t even know what to say,”
“I’m with Jennifer. We’re all in shock. I’m gutted. You’re one of the best singers in this. I’m never upset on this show, but this makes me mad. Really mad,” Randy Jackson told the tearful Toscano. It was a display of passion that would have been more useful had his preference for her been made clear 24 hours earlier.
“A mistake is one thing, but lack of passion is unforgivable. They’re wrong. She’s beautiful when she sings — she’s a bird,” Steven Tyler added, which sounded a lot like the type of praise he offers to any and all competitors every single week.
But then again can they really criticise the audience after all they offered no opinions apart from everyone is a 'Hall of Fame'r' faulting no one so is it any wonder this is happening, maybe next season the judges should be given two lifeline votes, or better still they need to as they say, 'get into the real world'.
Toscano’s elimination was just abismal, particularly when compared to the other two in the bototom three., either would have been more logical choices. Jacob Lusk, and Stefano Langone both of which were average on Wednesday and both seem to have reached their peaks.
It would have been impossible to gauge that the panel loved in the competition because they gave lavish praise to everyone, and ended the show by saying everyone was great and they didn’t know who people should vote for.
If the judges truly loved Toscano more than anyone else then they should have made this clear Simon would have in the past and this is a lesson beit to late for Toscano they need to learn, basically everyone isn't great as the keep saying,they need to get off the fence. If the judges think everyone deserves a share of first place, they can’t complain when sheer random chance causes someone they secretly like better than the others to finish in ninth place.
Toscano would almost certainly have been the recipient of the judges’ save this week but it wasn’t available because it was used to keep Casey Abrams.
The odd performance by former Hall Of Fame legend Iggy Pop. who arguabley has had a huge influence on music, but now should hang up his Mic rather than strut his stuff shirtless at 63 years old thrusting his chest in front of teenage girls and scaring his audience in the process was just bizarre. J.Lo’s expression when the rock legend moved in front of her seat said it all.
So it's onto next week without the best talent the show has produced this season.
