I keep seeing her wearing heels at the moment, and after all that fuss about her busted foot and "never being able to wear heels again." Hmm.

See, I prefer it when they assign songs to people based on their genres. At the end of the day, most singers stick to a single genre. If you sing a song outside your genre and give a shitty performance and are judged on that, to me, that's not fair. In the battle rounds, there were some POOR song choices, and the contestants suffered for it (Heshima and Tyler doing 'Yeah 3x', to name one example). Everyone needs to be adaptable to an extent, but there's going outside your comfort zone, and then there's doing something that just doesn't suit you in the slightest.

Mostly unimaginative song selections from the coaches. They've basically just made most of em sing within their genres. I mean most of these are so predictable. Joelle sings Mary J WOW what a shocker. Why can't they switch it up like have an RnB voice like Joelle sing a Rock song or make Matt and Sueleen sing a Justin Bieber song or something. Put them completely out of their comfort zones to see how they work as artists. That's all I'm saying....

i think its the angle of her foot versus the camera lense, but the other shoe does look like a completely different style :/

Paul Douglass I'm loving the fact the mentors have to get involved like this - even Simon Cowell copied it in last yrs X-Factor!
