American Idol Judges: U say WHAT!?!
 The Judges are wishy-washy!
They make me so ANGRY! They tell the contestants one thing to do and when they do it then they say the opposite. For i.e. They will tell them that they need to be more original and when the contestants do JUST THAT then they have something ugly to say like 'you should have kept true to the original' OR 'that's not how the song was meant to be sung'. I mean REALLY! Then they make asinine comments like 'Whitney does the song better' or 'that was not close to how Mariah, Stevie Wonder, etc. does it.' For real?
Forgive me if I am wrong here but 1)Why put the songs in the song book for them (contestants) to pick when you are only going to critique them on how the ARTIST sang it? These people are NOT the ARTISTS! They are TRYING there hardest to get where these ARTISTS are!!! 2) Then they tell them that the ARTISTS sung it better (i.e. Syesha) when she did Whitney's songs. Did she NOT say that she took Whitney and Dolly's version and blended them? For the originality....it was FANTASTIC. Give her kudos for being original just like the ever so talented David Cook!
Of course she didn't SOUND like Whitney. Maybe because she is not,repeat, NOT WHitney. She is who she is (they ALL are) and the show is suppose to be about THEIR talent not the ARTIST who songs they are singing.
The judges need to realize that! Judge these people on THEIR potential and NOT on the merits of those great ARTISTS whose league they are trying to be a part.
It's beginning to feel like, for those people, a DA**** IF YOU DO and DA**** IF YOU DON'T. Give these very talented people a BREAK for being who THEY are and the great artists that THEY CAN/WILL become!!!!!
