I agree. Not one of those judges thought about how their dramatic reactions were affecting the other contestants.
Ya, I agree, I don't think they knew how insulting to Stephano and Jacob they were by acting so shocked over Pia... at least Stephano and Jacob are alive and can move.......it's a shame Pia can't move that beautiful body...
I think it's wrong to compare Pia to the Tina Turner, even if she is singing a Tina Turner song. How many singers do compare to Tina? No one. Was anyone supposed to compare to elton john last week?
I listened to Pia from another room and she sang really good last night.
The bottom line is, it is the voters who call the shots, and we already know the voters are not 50 year old people who know elton, Tina, the Beatles, or even Iggy Pop.
Do any of these kids nowadays have any idea who Iggy Pop is? I don't think so. Maybe one or two. I kind of laughed when they announced it was Iggy. I can imagine all the confused looks and contorted faces of viewers.
I also thought the entertainment tonight was bad, really bad. Can't Idol find someone better to perform on elimination night? Geez save a couple of the contestants as soon as the show starts then let them entertain us.
Being old, I had never seen Iggy whatever and will never see "it" again....he never would've made it to my "finals"...how AWFUL! And some made fun of how Paul moved??? That freak Iggy was ....freaky! Yuck!...and KEEP THE SHIRT ON! IckyPopTart!!!

Not only that, but imagine how Casey feels knowing they used the save on him but then they're freaking out because Pia is gone.
In the end, I still think they used the save on the right person, Casey has more creativity in one of his performances (even the Nirvana one) than Pia has had in ALL of her performances.

I didn't know Iggy Pop was still alive. I was so surprised when they said he was going to be on the show.

Thanks for that! I was going to look it all up and you saved me. Have to spread the reps around before I can rep you again. but i tried!
1- Is Iggy Pop around 80 yo now? Is he still using drugs?
2-An "Idol" must charm the audience, and endear him or herself to the audience. Pia couldn't do that.
3-Why were JLo and Randy taking it so personally?
4- Lauren generally looks very tense. Is this becoming too much for her? She used to be sassy, and she seems to have lost that...except for when we heard her say, "they scared the crap outta me." That was good TV. She forgot about the mic
5- Jacob was full of baloney when he asked about the TMZ woman being single or not. Come on! He is better off embracing his sexuality or not saying a word.
6- Scotty's looks are growing on me. He's a cutie.
I told my husband this morning that Pia reminded me of a player piano. She could hit the exact note at the exact time, but to me she lacks the human element just like the player piano. I guess many many people think similarly.
Oh - that's good. Yeah - she's like that woman on the TV show "Bones" - or like that old TV show where the woman was a robot. Remember that? She was stunning, but had this Spock thing going with her emotions. I think that's the bottom line. She has not accessed her emotional component and people feel it. I hope the AI experience helps her find that.
I agree with you about the judges. It seemed overdone to me. But they really seem to be holding back on criticism this year.
They told her to pick it up and she didn't IMO.

I think the judges could have shown some restraint and have been a little more professional. Seriously, let's think about Jacob and Stefano who were also in the bottom three. Think how they must feel everytime they face one of the judges. I'm thinking Jacob is close to leaving. Stefano seems to be getting alot of tween/teens votes.

I agree! Pia stood there like she was singing in some rigid church that frowns on showing emotion. If I closed my eyes and listened to her, she's quite good. Stage presentation really makes or breaks the performer.
