Watching “Idol” for me was a lot like anything else I do for fun. That is, it involved making inferences and probability-based predictions by synthesizing and interpreting different kinds of information, including hard data (like the rate of busy signals for each contestant during after-show voting) and completely subjective impressions. Like, seriously, how good is this?1

Without a neutral arbiter, someone who wasn’t afraid to hurt a contestant’s feelings or come across poorly to a contestant’s fans (Simon), the voting public has been left rudderless. And so it has crowned the Scotty McCreerys of the world.

1st and 9th footnotes:

For my money, Lady Gaga’s advice — “Give them a little Edith Piaf. Give them a little ‘I’m crazy, and I’m a laugh away from a tear.’” — is the best ever given on the show. ^

This is one reason I really would have liked Simon to have been on the show when Haley Reinhart was a contestant. She started season 10 weakly but then had a great streak toward the end, all without the help of the judges. With no one making a coherent broader case for her, she was like a “Survivor” competitor who has to keep winning every challenge to stay on the island. She ultimately came up short in the third leg of the top three, when she was given the final slot of the night and failed to impress with “You Oughta Know.” Having Simon judging the show I think would have increased her chances of winning, though it may also have increased her chances of being eliminated much earlier.

Honestly when Haley and Casey sang Moanin you just knew they were something special - that performance was really amazing on Idol. No one ever say that one coming.....

Pretty nice compliment from Ray Chew if you ask me.

So weird that casey was playing it in his audition tape, and it ended up being a huge moment for both of them.

Yep. Even more strange is that they both knew that song (you could tell) and turned it into "their own" - their call and response was great.
