I really enjoyed watching the S10 finalists as back up singers on tour. I thought they all sounded great, and it gave them more stage time. I only saw S10 on tour , so I can't compare with other years. But some of those songs on tour like "If I Die Young" sung by Lauren Alaina, with Haley, Stefano and Thia singing back up, I rewatched so many times on you tube with Haley and Stefano giggling in the background.
AI would be ok if there weren't so many singing shows out there. But the average TV show only gets 1-3 million people watching. 14 million for AI isn't so bad is it? It's lower than past years but is it a death sentence??
And yes, mercfan, I agree with you about Haley. She was picking up new fans with every passing week, and with her choice of songs, brought something dynamic to the competition IMO.
