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.
Dying to use the "multi quote" I learned in another thread

I had said this last week to my wife. IMO, Jennifer is a great trade up from Paula, but I think it would be a better show for ME personally if Simon was there instead of Steven and I have always been a big fan of Steven Tyler.
