AMERICAN IDOL...Season 12 & The Voice...Season 4

yea Candace..

And the judges can't tell Kree fans that she didn't get a good song, or a song without pain, or any of the other absurdities they have said.  She is in the finale, were it not for Candice's third song it would have been Angie and Kree.  Kree is going to be a country legend.  The way the judges received the news showed a definite lack of professionalism,  YEAH FOR KREE.

wish i had not missed the judges reaction!

Thanks, Sheila!  Cookiegal and I weren't the only ones to have missed it...that clip had ~50,000 views already. 

Not at all surprised here.  The custom of having them sing after they get the axe is a little saddistic.  I am amazed by the ones who can get through it without choking up. 

Having Candice and Angie would have been my least favorite combo for the Top Two.  I think next week will be a real showdown.

I certainly agree about the final song. It isn't a little sadistic, it is sadistic. I think Angie is about 18 years old right?  I can see a seasoned performer holding up but not a teenager.  

I was shocked to see the Dial Idol results, they had Angie clearly at the bottom, by a large margin!

The truth for me, and it reflects how terrible I think the show has been this season, is that I have fast forwarded through both the live show and the results show.

I just heard on TV that one of the judges wants to quit right now.  The judges would know better than any of us how corrupt the process has been this year.

Hoping for a resurrection of talent next year.  I will try the Voice next time it begins. I am just so bummed by AI. It is sad, I really liked it alot.

Love Ginger   

WOW, Danielle captured my heart, is there nothing she can't do well?

sheila, cannot beleive it when we are on the same page about a singer!  What to say about Judith, is it right to have a professional in an amateur contest, she was Michael Jackson's female singer, she can do no wrong.

Michelle didn't move me this week, like she did last week.

That was a little close to home for me, she had me tearing up, she sure did her mama proud.  I'd have to say Danielle and Amber.  Off to vote and bed early, will be rested tomorrow night.  Night sheila.

For this week.  For me...

Tops: Sarah, Josiah (a canny song choice for him,) Danielle, Judith, Kris (but see below,) Amber(*); and Karina (even tho' elimintated and not performing, she still rocks from wherever she is now.)

Flops: Sasha (what an overwrought delivery, and if you must know I really disliked every song Shakira picked for her artists this week;) Michelle (not feeling her on this song choice either,) Garrett (Shakira again, and the key to that song has always been vocal harmonies;) and the rest who I was just not wowed by.

[Edit:  (*) I confused her with Holly, who I actually liked more.]
