I really like the idea of having the judges have input also. It would help to even out the voting somewhat. But we still need to vote for our favorites - no one is automatically safe!
I loved Pia also but believe like most of you that she has a career waiting for her after AI.
This has been a season of incredible talent. I think the judges are doing a great job. Simon had good points to make in his criticisms but I don't miss his snarkiness!
My personal favorites are Jacob Lusk and Scotty. I think both have exhibited not only outstanding vocals but moral conviction.
And please, no more Iggy Pop or Constantino.
