LETS GET REAL ! Why did Josh get a standing? And Elise, best performance, am I missing something

I find it amazing how NOW the judges are tooting Skylar’s age. So many accolades were given to Jessica’s voice and her being only 16. Now it’s Skylar’s turn. WOW. Also, the judges are NOW tooting how Skylar “connects” with the song (unlike Jessica). The Judges are full of crap and the biggest flip floppers since Mitt Romney.
Joshua did good. The song fit him.
Elise did good. WTH is STyler talking about they’ve “been waiting for her to find her element with the right song?” Did they forget her performance two weeks ago where she rocked the house??
Randy is wishy washy!

It is now clear the judges do not know how to use the skill of “The Standing O.” Therefore I propose all judges wear sycned up shock collars so as to train them.
Any time they try to give the “O” to judge’s pet Joshua, America gets to shock them back in their seats.
Hey if it can work on canines…

Fat Bottomed Girls for Phil and Save Me for Hollie (insert joke here). I can already feel the judges Hollie Hatefest coming on.

I do agree that standing O’s should be with Skylar and Elise if anybody

Why are y’all worried about standing o’s from judges who get no respect? Nobody believes anything they say.
Plus, every single contestant has tons of fans, all of them deserve those fans. Hardest season I have ever seen in picking a winner. I have NO idea who should win.

My standing O problem is they do it for Joshua EVERY SINGLE PERFORMANCE. It diminishes what standing O’s are all about and they try to influence fans in my opinion. In 9 years, Simon gave ONE standing O.

Wow…the beginning of Philx2’s song he had this look on his face that said, “How am I doin Mom?” So bad…
When he got to the growl parts, he slipped into his normal groove. But still, not good. Elise is sweeping this first round.

I like Phil2x. All his songs fit him and his quirky way of singing.

Is joshua that really really good like they say or are they just trying to hang on to him as long as they can. he would starve if he had to depend on me.

Phil sounded best when the background singers sang with him…and drowned him out.

“I have NO idea who should win.” – Deirdre, I just said the exact same words to my child.
And, I agree with your take on the standing O’s, along with the fact that no one believes their critique of the contestants.

@Rugged, he does hurt, he has a stent in his kidney to keep him on the show until he can get surgery

Ditto Jerry, I can’t stand the fact that they gave Joshua a standing ovation again for a so so performance. I say send him packing. If it comes down to him and anyone in the end anyone will get my vote.

? Shock Collars on the Judges?? Best idea I’ve heard for a long time. Wasn’t that standing OV #5 or 6 for Joshua this season??

Ironic song lyrics aside, Hollie has been making a push since “Perfect” and tonight she continues her comeback! I thought that was second only to Elise! Nicely done little one!

There is Randy’s “everyone needs to have a moment comment”. He should’ve said that to Jessica.

I want to see the judges take a boot on the butt!. It is a wonder she can sing at all after they way that they have tried to destroy her confidence in front of millions. Not enough money on the planet to make me do that!
