agreed, but I agree with something Simon said. He noted that the judges might be confusing the performers. Their comments have been slightly all over the place and overly sophisticated with rare unanimous opinions. For a young artist, criticism has to be given with a degree of literal technicality rather then vibey comments that randy and ellen dish out everytime. Kara and Simon are better but often offer opposite opinions which isn't helpful.

I do think there are some really awesome singers on the show. Casey James, Crystal Bowersox, Didi Benami, Lee Dewyse (singing Donnie Darko , Paige Myles, Siobhan Magnus, and Michael Lynch stand out. I think Michael Lynch takes it.
