Idol 2011

Ok, so Pia wasted no time getting snapped up for a record deal. Did everybody notice that she began the process of signing paperwork for a record deal with Jimmy Iovine (I think thats his name isn't it?) and Interscope records...just hours after she got booted off. Nobody was gonna let that talented beauty "flounder" for too long. Good for her!
Also, on Wednesday nights show (4-13), how's about contestant James Durbin doing Sammy Hagar's 1981 track "Heavy Metal" with none other than Zakk Wilde of Black Label Society on guitar!! I thought it was Badass. Then again I am an audiophile, AND a Metalhead as well.
Anybody else a B.L.S. fan out there?

Black Label Society..never heard of them, but I know that Durbin song was good. I've seen only about 15 minutes of the show this year but that Pia, the country girl, the country guy and that performance by Durbin were as good as anyone out there recording now.

"Foster_9 you're right, Pia's gone because young girls' votes are based on (silly) crushes. That's not to say that boys wouldn't vote in the same way"

Bander, I'm not too certain boys do vote or buy recordings in the same way reflecting back and trying to find examples in the history of pop music over the past 60 years. Could you give me an example of boys buying records because they have a "crush" on a female artist? Boys are wired differently. They like what they like based on peer influences probably as much as anything, at least the things they will ADMIT to liking.

Agreed Martinmobile about James's performance, a real special treat whether you are a metalhead or not.
