and plus, I just don't think he's that great of a singer. Maybe if he was more of a performer. He doesn't perform, he just sits there and sings. I mean, he's a good singer. If he was just some random guy singing somewhere, then I'd think he has an amazing voice. But he's on American Idol - alongside some of the best singers in the country - and I just don't think he's good enough.
And last night just really...did him in for me. He totally destroyed that song, IMO. I'm all for people putting their own spins on things - but that was just a little crazy. I know that he didn't realize how big of a song he was doing. But if he was preparing to sing that song, then IMO, he should have been actually studying the SONG and what it IS, not just the music. |
Yep, you got it. That's what I forgot to add. That he doesn't seem to be appropriately awestruck (or appreciative) by it all. (He actually was caught yawning waiting backstage. Ugh!) And if his charm doesn't touch you, then I can totally see why people are put off and think he doesn't appreciate it. I really think that he is just so lacking in social skills that we can't see what he thinks about it all. I mean when he "gets by", he isn't really even appropriate offering condolences to the other person. He just doesn't know how to act.
I think of my brother and if he suddenly found himself in a situation that talent brought him to, but was under a huge microscope - he would act JUST like Jason. Maybe that's why I do still like him.
