I agree that the singing is the best in years, but I disagree about Simon. I miss his ascerbic comments. There are a couple of singers that need to hear that they sound like karaoke at the neighborhood bar, but none of the three judges seem to be able to say it. Randy tries his best to interject some reality into the judging, but the other two can't seem to bring themselves to say anything even slightly negative. I like them both, but they need to start helping us differentiate the good from the great. Right now I'm putting my money on Pia, with the guy who sang the Joe Cocker song a close second.
