Even by today's standards, the Beatles sound is more innovative than a lot of the current crap being produced nowadays. They are far from 'old school'.

QUOTE(BurgaFlippinMan @ Mar 19 2008, 11:21 PM) No I don't think so. Like Randy said, every week can be Beatles Week. Don't get me wrong. I love the Beatles Syesha and David A gets my vote for the best performances. Carly put in another great vocal demonstration but IMO, Blackbird is not a song which works when you go big with it. Its just such an intimate song I did think that the performances this week were mostly mediocre though. The problem is those tunes are so ingrained into global pop culture that its very VERY difficult to do something different and get away with it. At least nobody tried to do a major melody and harmonic change like what Castro did last week. The genius behind the Beatles compositions is their outrageous chord progression and unconventional harmony which is at the real edge of falling apart and ruining the whole song yet somehow through some magic remains coherent. Tampering with genius simply doesn't work.   But it just seemed to me like they were trying to milk the whole thing. I dunno...maybe it's just me.

they get paid for the live advertisement just like mentioning coca cola once in awhile.
same with itunes and ipod. but yeah it does get annoying. re: the beatles songs, they're paying premium royalty for it to play the songs in this competition so i guess you're right, they wanna milk it dry and get their moneys worth. although i think backfired for this week though coz i nearly slept thru the show and the elimination just now. yes rocker chick finally out, although have to admit she was good last week. but like i said before, same ole stuff from her and no versatility, and when simon points that out, it kills anyone chances. it seems the judges critiques do affect the people votes... too bad really, cant the audience decide on their own who they like. anyhow.... |

Paul McCartney lost alot in settling his divorce with his ex-wife so he's looking to earn some dough back. Not that he needs it.

I too don't mind either and I don't really bother to watch the results show. But in any case, was Lee Cook crap again? Can't believe how many cat lives she's used up  |

Appealing to patriotism is always a clever way to get votes don't u think  |

You know when i first heard David Cook's Billie Jean i was blown away. But after some googling it turns out it wasn't his original arrangement. To be fair Ryan Seacrest did credit Chris Cornell (one of my favourite rock vocalists
 ) when he introduced the song but the judges seemed oblivious to it. But taking nothing away from David he still did an amazing job with the vocals. |

yeah dont sweat it, ive learned to stay away from this thread before the show on astro.
gotta say this week a bit better than last week. okay much better but still not up to what i was expecting. but a bit too bad for chikezie, he sang very well when he left though. i think there were others more deserving to leave at this stage David Cook sometimes if you watch him, it feels the song not too great when he sings it. but if you listen to his itunes version, they sound great when you cant see his face. heh funny, altho im still a fan. |

It was a bona fide Americana song, which I dont really mind (though when Ryan announced it I thought she was going to sing the even more awesome God Bless America song instead...which unfortunately is a 1918 piece) |
