But thank you for noticing that I made a c/p job instead of accusing me of making such a mistake

I gotta say I dont get all the ragging on Robbie for not being "authentic". Do you think any of those artists are "authentic" Archuletta has been groomed since day 1 for a singing career, he is so molded its obvious. Every performer has a persona they are portraying. Robbie has been with his band for 6 years, looking the same, singing the same. You dont have to like him, but calling him out every week on being authentic is unfair since every single one of them has a calculatted act and movements. I'm just getting tired of it.

As Exhibit B, his former band, Boyz N Girlz United

He's not authentic. He's a poseur. The comments are well-taken.

I don't care if he's "authentic" or not, but I stand by my assessment that he rocks about as hard as Peter Cetera. Considering his vocals are merely average, I'm not sure what he adds to this competition.

But my complaint with him has nothing to do with authenticity, it's that 1) I don't think he's anything special as a singer and 2) I don't care for his personality or demeanor.

Paula saying that she wanted to hang the kids head off her rear-view mirror was creepy and stalkerish... didn't she get in trouble last year for misconduct with a contestant?

Now you've lost me.
He's a poseur. And he may be wearing a wig. He always has a stocking cap on, except last night he didn't and his hairline looked suspect.

All I'm saying is that he performed for a boy band, didnt work out. Grew into performing his style of rock instead. So what? He's been working seedy bars performing for 6 years and staying true to that. Love him, hate him, whatever. I find that more appealing than the groomed manufactured star search robots that are getting all the love. I find that very unauthentic.
