Dont You Just Get Tired....??

Don't you get sick and tired of Randy and Simon and sometimes even Paula spouting about how the song was "too big" for one of the singers or, case in point, what Randy said Tuesday night to David Archeleta. Randy-"You know dude I just think about how Stevie did it and it just wasn't good" How Stevie Wonder did the song? In a studio? Where you can sing it, mix it, throw parts away, add instruments in digitally and any other thing a singer can't do in a live performance! Yes he did stumble over a couple words but I mean, give me and David and countless dozens of others these judges have said this to a break! These kids are not Whitney or Stevie, or Kelly Clarkson even, but they are having to sing their songs or choose lesser known artists songs and then risk being belittled for choosing something beneath them! I guess that is the one thing I like better about Nashville Star over American Idol (don't get me wrong, I love them both)is the fact that at some point in Nashville Star they have to sing their own creation, a song that was written or co-written by themselves. I think this is the one thing that seperates the real stars from the "just singers" category. Kelly Clarkson has made it very big, Kelly writes some of her songs! Carrie Underwood (wow, who knew!)is a huge star! Carrie has started writing songs which a couple are on her new album. I believe the creative side of the whole thing is what keeps the star power going! Of course there exceptions to every rule, George Strait for example!
