Wonder why Garrett Haley picked such a boring song?

ETOnline has a great piece on their site where Garrett admits that the show screwed him over by forcing him to sing "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do." The contestants this year apparently pick 3 songs off of a list of 50 (that's not a lot) and then are assigned one of the songs. Garrett didn't get any of the songs he picked, and was then basically forced to sing the one he did. Real fair, Idol. First you give the kid no screen time. Then you throw him up on stage with a song he didn't even pick. Yes, he wasn't very good, but it looks like he wasn't even given the chance to be. Just another reason to Vote for the Worst and make fun of this ridiculously awful show.

Garett definitely behaved with class and dignity when he was called out to go home. Simon was an idiot calling him "pale and haunted." What a tool. Now we find out the producers screwed him over. Not surprising but aggravating all the same. I will vote extra hard this year as well. What crap!

This show is getting crappier by the minute
I actually liked Garrett and I so dislike the comments about his looks
I for one am one who looks a little rowdy-ish and people just look at me different
I hate this discrimination

Anyways enough of about this, Can someone tell me what crappy theme would be on Idol this week
I hated 60s week

Seventies Week.

And next: Eighties Week.

You might be thinking: This is a lame satirical website and MyFeetHurt just made a lame satirical joke. Nobody would actually do that. But that is in fact what the "reliable sources" are saying. Enjoy!

Well that explains why so many contestants "just happened" to select the same song.
Like Brooke and D. Cook doing "Happy Together," and then Alaina and Chikezie doing "More Today Than Yesterday."

That's total bullshit.

And Simon was pretty rough on this guy too.

A show that charges an advertising rate of $900,000 for a 30 second commercial should be able to and want to get each contestant the rights to any song he or she wants.

Increasingly, control over song choices is the most serious way the show manipulates the outcome.

The obvious reply to your statement about Colton not "lighting up the charts" is this: Then why did they choose him for the Top 24? I totally agree with you, by the way. He might have success in theater, but he definitely won't with music.

Anyway, Josiah would have done much better, but then they would have had one less person to humiliate. They purposely set up people like Colton and Garrett to ridicule. I hope it bites them in the ass someday.
