That said, I was sorry to see Didi go; I thought she had a nice personality and was very easy on the eyes. Although I'd have to say that, talent-wise, she probably deserved to go.
Agree with almost all of the above!
Having said that, I wish we could vote on getting rid of autotuning!!
I also wish we could re-vote back in Didi and Lilly Scott! BTW, Didi's vocal wasn't so horrible on that song, I just think the song had more soul than her vocal was willing to bring forth. Maybe with a bit more time, she could have really nailed it.

Yeah, Usher can sing. Too many artists are jumping on the autotune bandwagon. Both his song and Diddy's were awful.

And Diddy Dirty Money?? WTF. If you have to change your name again for the umpteenth time, why that??

I'm indifferent about the contestants this year. Though it would be a hoot to see Tim Urban every week doing this thing because people voted because he's the worst.

"Diddy Dirty Money" was Puff Diddy/Daddy/whatever?

I had no idea that was him.

As a heavy metal fan, the one good thing I can say about autotune is that now pop music fans can't say that death metal vocals sound stupid.

He says it like that because the judges have the choice to save them.

true, but lets be realistic here. how many times has the judges save been used since they started using it? once? i only seem to remember it being used once. and no way they were using it on her. They are keeping it until either Lee or Crystal is the lowest vote getter.

I think this is only the second season they had this option.. so yes, you're correct, they've only used it once. They saved Matt last season.
They're only allowed to use it once.
