This is great for XFactor. Personally, I think the top 12 contestants on Idol are subpar and many are 5th rate copies previous contestants that were truly great and original. I have no interest in the rest of Idol this season and think Jimmy Iovine's self-promotion is sickening, heartbeat headphones, videos, narrations, pure BS. And Steven Tyler is not criticizing some of the bad-singing the way he should. Lopez is just there to promote her music. Randy knows these kids ain't the most talented bunch ever be has to keep the hype up. None of the contestants have shown any real artistry and are still doing karoke/copycat. You need to have your own sound post-Idol..not seeing it with this years crop.
