IMHO they should have a do your own material week. That would really sort the wheat from the chaff. Covers every week is starting to get boring.
That is what we basically have TBH. Astro and Chris always find a way to sing hiphop/rap style, Drew is doing the same thing each week as well. Actually I am a Drew fan but she is getting very boring doing exactly the same thing every week.
That result was ridiculous, the judges have lost the plot.
How could they save Lakoda Rayne after that sing off? And what the hell was Nicole on about - 'I am about female empowerment'? Using that as part of a reason to make a decision is completely wrong.
Only last week Simon said that the Stereo Hogzz were the best band in the world, tactical voting all the way.
Could be wrong but I think he means they should have a week where all the artists do a piece of their own work. Something they wrote themselves.
Astro needs taken down a peg or two

That would be a retarded idea seeing as some of them are not writers, in fact most of them aren't.
True, it wouldn't work just throwing that in this year with the current contestants, since most of them entered solely because they have strong vocals. But it could make it interesting if they set that up for the next season, letting everyone know when they start advertising the auditions, that one of the live shows will be based on songwriting. Might change the crowd it attracts, and start seeing actual talented musicians entering the show, and less of the crap we've seen in the past who, once the show ends, release an album of cover tracks, then disappear.
I think with the viewing figures of both the American and British versions apparently beeing on a downward slope, it is important they do something to change it up soon. This would at least add some credibility.
Its the first season on the US show.
i prefer Steven Tyler personallyAren't the figures significantly lower than those they used to get for American Idol though? I thought I'd read that somewhere. Just that I would have expected them to be the same, since it's basically the same show, with Simon on the judging panel as well.

You watch a show like X-Factor or American Idol and there's just such a huge difference in being a good singer or a good song writer. The latter is a much better talent to have.
No-one makes a career anymore from doing covers.
The missus is watching this on repeat at the moment, I've never seen it before, I think it might be the single cheesiest television production in history.
One singer finished her song and spent what felt like 20 minutes crying and blubbering about how hard she's had it and how she loves her mum and grandparents, then the judges all gave her little speech a standing ovation, then Nicole Shirtswinger asked if she could give her a hug and everyone cheered while people in the crowd wept.
What. The. feck?!!
She hasn't been a drama queen in the past. Maybe she was just carrying a lot of emotional bagged because of the long separation from her parents and she lost control in the heat of the moment.
Melanie was amazing this week, and she is looking better every week as well.
Melanie is the one who did Earth Song, I think/hope
