What are they thinking?

You can't help but wonder when watching shows like American Idol; "what are they thinking?". Are they honestly serious when going in there and giving the worst audition in the history of time? Why is it always the people who say that they're such incredible singers who are tone-deaf? Then you have the people who have decent voices but they go and screw everything up by wailing throughout the whole song. Wailing is not singing. Just because you can wail your ass through a song does not make you a great singer. JUST SING THE SONG DAMN IT! What's with singing everything BUT the melody to try to show your vocal range?! I don't classify that as good singing, but apparently America does since those are the people they always put through to Hollywood. Simon is basically the only judge with taste (and sanity). In came a girl last night (Sweden is still on the audition weeks, about to go to the Hollywood week soon) who had the most unique, old-school, great-sounding voice. Nothing fake or affected about it. Natural and different. Why she didn't go to Hollywood at first? Her "facial expressions" bothered Randy and Paula. WHAT THE FUCK?! You put through people who can't even sing a melody right but you decline a girl who can actually sing from her heart because she makes weird expressions with her face when vocalizing?

America in a nutshell I guess.

They probably haven't seen Nick sing yet, he sure makes some weird facial expressions sometimes.
Are Paula and Randy on the Swedish version as well?

yeah, because american idol is a perfect epitomization of the 300 million people currently living in the United States, grow up.

and quit calling yourself a metalhead when all you listen to is a few power metal bands and the occasional melodeath band. learn2music.
