B787 saidkillercliche saidStephenOABC saidThe talent on tonight's show is at a high level. In all fairness, the performers are older than the American Idol performers.
That's Idol's doing though. Idol is perpetually searching for Justin Beibers. One thing worht noting is that this is the first season in 5 years I think where a white male with a guitar won't win american idol.
This has been a deliberate plan of action by the American Idol producers. They desperately want a female winner....that is why the male contestants were "B" level at best (many were worse). The judges did not permit the best male voices to get through during the audition process - this is a very well known fact.
Remember, this show isn't about their "story" - its about their ability to sing! The current season has been a sham through and through.
I agree, I have noticed that AI over the years seemed to have carefully calculated the sex of the winner somehow. It's been boy/girl then a few years it wasn't so they are "due" for a female winner. How stupid, who ever is the best should win, who cares who it is
And I looked up Chris Mann-sexy man and sexy voice

And I wanna add too, that AI seems to put A LOT of filler in their episodes, especially when they get to the top 10 or 8. I don't believe the Voice really does that at all. I am talking the stupid music videos and the promotional crap for Ford or Pepsi that AI does. I don't like, however, how the Voice is filling a 2 hour time slot for 2 days, kinda stupid to me.
I also read that AI makes the singers sing with OLD people and they sing OLD songs where as they seem to see TODAY'S music on the Voice, I definitely have noticed this too. Of course, it's more so on AI than the Voice, not that they both don't sing new songs and classics
