Victor: you have a piont. T Pain should just give those Pitcy singers a copy of Autotune! Then everybody will be singing like Pacio Domingo, Ray Chares, Barbara Striesand, Aretha Franklin, Kenny Logins and Bono!
Vic, as you said no one needs to sing good now!

Type your comment here…I hear people say that Taylor Swift & Rihanna are pitchy! To me I think they are just saying that those 2 girls are off key & are not good singers. Maybe they should use autotune.

In my opinion, Randy Jackson is more of a show boater than he is a judge of pitch. I’m a musician of 35 years, my Dad’s a pro musician, and my grandfather is as well, having studied with Benny Goodman at Juliard School of Music. My mother was a very capable singer as well. My point is, that Mr. Jackson misses the point of the performance, and many times misses the whole thing all together. Many singers sing off key, (can you say Madonna?) and are corrected by fancy and elaborate voice processors anyway, so unless they are as flat as glass, it wouldn’t be noticed anyway. I’m not advocating people singing off key, I’m just saying that Mr. Jackson is not consistent, and I think he basically likes to show off his pompous pseudo knowledge to the detriment of the singers. These people are all good. They have all proven they can sing, and therefore don’t need to hear, “Yo, Yo, Check it out dude” or “I don’t know, it was alrigh man, it was pitchy, but for me it was alrigh.”

Simon is right on 99.9999% of the time. He sometimes goes a little far, but I agree with him most of the time. And notice he never mentions pitch unless it’s the pink elephant in the room.

Paula is basically in the middle of Ying Yang. She can’t quite bring herself to make a decision one way or another, and usually chickens out in saying what needs to be said.

The quality of these people this year seems to be very good, and I think any of them would pull it off if they win. But I really don’t see Mr. Jackson as anything more than a lucky guy who has to justify his position by acting like he knows something. Until Idol, he was unknown to just about anyone, now he’s an expert. Ah, reality bites…..

The RISE of Chikesie:

Wow, Chikezie!!! Last night (3/11)’s performance was INCREDIBLE!!!

The very, very best of the night! Chikezie is born!

I have to say, after him, I became bored for the rest of the night. Even my favorite David Archuleta put me to sleep.

I’m putting my vote on David Hernandez to win the whole thing.
