"God Bless the Child" on Idol?

"Every time I see the country crooner I think Alfred E. Newman sings country...LOL"

Me too now that you mention it LOL, but I really love that kid and how entertaining was the "Country Crooner" and Lady Gaga? I mean this year had some really memorable moments and that one will always stand out for me. I had a vision before I saw it but the reality was better than I ever could have imagined, great stuff!

Edorr, his emotional stability issues as you state would be a deterrent in a pro career, well that's what a high functioning autistic individual has been hearing his whole life so you fit in with most unfortunately.

You may not like his vocals but calling out his disability is uncalled for.

That kid made his issues well known...even IMO trying to gain some fans or sympathy because of it. If he made it public happily then by all means it can be talked about both as a positive and negative. Its fine to suggest it may be an issue.....because it may indeed be one, while we can hope not........its still possible.

Pops, I am not calling him out an anything. In fact, I never even made the connection between his autism, Tourette, and emotional stability, and certainly never looked at him as "disabled" (like apparently you do, and may be I should have). I am just making the objective observation that having an emotional break-down ever other song is not helpfull if you aspire to a professional career in showbusiness.

I'm surprised that James is gone and The Bumpkin is still in it. "In It to Win It". Randy, please drop that phrase. I would rather hear "Dog" a thousand times...
Anyway, "The Voice" has some interesting talent, think I'll be watching more of that show.
