I do whole-heartedly agree with you there! Yes, the judges have been harsh in the past but I think there was something about Jason that really unnerved them. They just couldn't "control" him, ya know? I haven't yet caught up on all the interviews he's done so far but I did Tivo and watch the Ellen and Regis & Kelly performances and he really outdid himself on Ellen with "Daydream". He did it even better than his original performance. There is really something special about that boy and like he said in one of his interviews.... "I think I'm what AI was originally meant to be all about.... the originality and the uniqueness" (or something to that effect). The judges have really let me down this time. I'll watch the rest but I really don't care about it anymore. And I will definitely be buying Jason's music in the future. My husband said last night that Jason is someone he'd love to sit and watch at a bar (or other really small venue). There's just something he's got that's genuine and intriguing.
