Many thanks for the explanations. So it's one of those dumb-arse things that start off as a signature by someone (Mj) who just did it "naturally" and then segued into a "cool move" adopted by the masses which then segued into something really dumbly contrived. Got it!
erm...isn't that basically what I posted originally?

Totally agree about the grimaces not necessarily being about reaching for range - or about pain, for that matter.
I realized today while searching the linked videos that Phillip talks to and dances with his music. There in the facial expressions, foot work, and growls and groans. He's expressing his music both vocally and physically.
So after that opening number...Hollie sounded really weak and horrible and poor Joshua almost got away with that split - so close! That little religious young blonde girl had some moves on her! I liked the extra dance group
Anyways, I thought Fantasia was annoying. I barely heard anything from Joshua once she got on stage. I always thought Fantasia was one of the more overrated winners in Idol history.
I don't know if Fantasia's yelling was a worse assault on my ears, or her outfit was a worse assault on good taste. Anybody thinking Joshua is a screamer, take note...he might as well have been whispering when sharing the stage with that girl.
John F needs all the exposure and $$ he can get - he famously made a horrible deal way back when and basically gave away all his music rights. He was generous to Philip and they looked like they had fun jamming. Unfortunately, I don't think Philip's voice stood up to John's.
Yuck - I agree with GoBucks about Fantasia ruining that. She was so screechy!
Oooo I love this Chaka Khan song!
