Listen "Same As It Ever Was"
Episode Synopsis
The Talking Heads said it best: Same as it ever was. I think that describes the American Idol Rock and Roll Hall of Fame week. We had the same old themes. Then we had the shocking elimination of Pia Toscano, which after I thought about it, did fit into a pattern that we've seen in the past. The far too early elimination of a talented female singer with a mature, adult contemporary R&B flavor and an understated personality (yes, I really liked Latoya London, Melinda Doolittle and Jennifer Hudson too).
In this podcast, I discuss my disappointment over Pia's early exit and why the current voting system leaves me cold. I also question why producer Nigel Lythgoe made public comments which I found to be rather unkind and which only served to highlight the flaws of the American Idol voting system.
