Last week we had the very exciting elimination show where Casey was saved by the judges. This week I was not as excited by the Elton John theme. On today's podcast, I discuss why "The Save" results in playing it safe. I'm not convinced that the "taming" of Casey is the greatest thing and the drama surrounding "The Save" may have contributed to less risky performances overall.

Is it a singing competition? How do the judges' actions affect that?

Also on today podcast, I discuss how "rock n roll" is treated on American Idol and what I think a contestant needs to do to succeed.
