Bad, bad Janet.
You know better! Hints aren't allowed anymore than giving away the winner, especially when those of us who have followed the AI threads know who your favorite is. That's why we have always had this "understanding" for YEARS about not posting reality show results (or hints) until the next day. I'm glad I didn't see your post last night or live on the West Coast and saw your post before the show aired there or I would have been pretty annoyed!
I was still rooting for Lauren right to the end. I don't have anything original to say, just a repeat of past posts that I am not a favor of country "twang" but I guess a lot of others are. Most people I've spoken with about AI the last few years admit that it's not much of a singing competition any longer, it's a popularity contest and that pre-teen and teen girls (and Janet!
) drive the results.
That said, I think Scotty is a nice young man with a beautiful voice and will be the hit of the moment in the country genre. I expect the last few contestants already have record deals in the works.
SRL, I enjoyed the new judges but didn't find any of them very helpful with coaching the kids. Simon might not have understood tact but he gave great advice. These three were marshmallows most of the time.
by the way, I sure hope Lauren gets a new stylist or acquires some fashion sense as she matures. Her/their taste in her clothes was, in my humble opinion, pretty bad for someone so young and attractive.
