Song Title : I Love You More Today Than Yesterday
Judges Thoughts : (R) It was pretty good man. You are an old fashioned singer so you have to remember to make it fresh. (P) You have come a long way. You look great. I loved the singing. (S) I hated the whole performance. The suit is hideous. The wink was hideous. It was all old fashioned and corny. This could have been something we filmed 30 years ago.

Name : Garret Haley (1-866-idols-10)
Song Title : Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
Judges Thoughts : (R) Love the song but you didn’t do anything with it. Make these things your own. Bring something to it. A couple of pitch problems. (P) That slow tempo brings the performance down.

American Idol lip-syncing : The new iTunes business model
It appears that at least one American Idol 7 contestant, Michael Johns, lip synced his performance on the Top 12 boys performance Tuesday night.
But why? The answer could be very simple: iTunes downloads.
But first, the video of Michael Johns’ lip-sync:
youtube.com: Michael Johns - ‘Light My Fire’
Start watching at 1:40.
Around 1:50, Johns’ mouth is turned away from the mic, yet the vocals remain at a steady level.
And around 2:04 his mouth again isn’t anywhere near the mic.
Then look again at the editing during these segments.
At 1:50 the camera pulls back, making it hard, but not impossible to see the lip-sync.
And at 2:04, the lip-sync is cleverly edited out of frame.
Remember: Tuesday’s show was pre-taped, giving producers the ability to edit or mask obvious lip-sync moments such as these.
But why have the Idol contestants lip-sync?
How about iTunes agreement to sell songs and videos of the Idol contestants the day after the show airs?
The pressure to have a product online and available only hours being recorded is immense.
If the vocal tracks are pre-taped, the performance can be tweaked to correct mistakes, pitchyness and rough spots.
If you don’t think stuido editing has been done with every song in the top 100 right now, think again.
Pre-recorded performances help streamline the process of iTunes making the audio available for download only hours after the performance.
While the end result is artistically and aesthetically lame, American Idol’s and iTunes’ digital download business model is a sensible one.
It replaces the existing broken one, in which Idol winners and runners-up release CDs months after the competition, only to be met with slumping sales and indifference.
