What the FUCK is that dialect they all sing in? I call it mushmouth folk, sort of like Randy Newman without the irony. No one actually uses that dialect in real lfe.
And have these stupid people ever heard of sostenuto for God's sake. Randy Jackson finally proved tonight that he actually knows something about real singing, and I apologize for seriously doubting his credentials. He demonstrated to an otherwise talented contestant what it means to have breath control and sustained tones. It was an iconic moment that every one of the hundreds going to Hollywood should be forced to watch ten times.
