Matt - Amazed is a great song, Josh Gracin sang it great last season, Matt just can't compare to the original recording OR Josh... it was "okay" I don't like Matt's personality though... and I am getting worried that he thinks he needs to be like Josh Gracin on the show... the thing is Josh knew when enough was enough on the tough guy thing, and Matt is just annoying. I would have chosen Toby Keith for Matt
Well, y'know, they have to choose from a list. Maybe put some more [risky? edgy?] songs on the list to begin with.
Toni responded (I sound like Seacrest doing the recap; sorry Toni, lol!) that Simon was there to judge the whole package. ITA.
I hope they're ALL there to judge the whole package. But a major part of the whole package is how well they sing and if you can't hear a thing as basic as when a singer is off-pitch, what the hell are you doing being a record producer?
