The Tiebreaker: How many times will the judges use the word “pitchy”?
You poor pathetic bastards, watching that show week after week, just to try to make some cash . . . and yet, here I am, coming to you for advice.
I've already lifted a top-12 list from here for the office Idol pool, but I need an answer for the tiebreaker -- 'How many times will the judges use the word “pitchy” throughout the season?' Anyone want to take a shot? PS My list has already been praised by the local Idol fangirls as very sharp, so thanks, guys! (FYI 12. Haley Scarnato 11. Sanjaya Malakar 10. Gina Glocksen 9. Brandon Rogers 8. Stephanie Edwards 7. Phil Stacey 6. Blake Lewis 5. Jordin Sparks 4. Chris Richardson 3. Lakisha Jones 2. Chris Sligh 1. Melinda Doolittle ) |

starting from the beginning, or starting now?
you have to expect at leat 4 'pitchies'/show, so do the math from when you want it to start. |

Honestly, I think it goes down and is used less toward the end of the season. Maybe busted out only a couple times in the last 4 or 5 eps. And Randy is the only one who consistantly says it. I'd bet that's a high estimate. I'd say ~30. Great question though. Someone on here needs to keep track.

Re: The Tiebreaker: How many times will the judges use the word “pitch
agreed that it will go down as time goes by....
slight adjustment, but i'd just limit it to randy. more fun that way... simon never says it, although sometimes paula, but not as fun as when randy says it. feel stupid, but what does pitchy mean?? i actually don't know what pitch means. does it mean it went on/off key?? |

[/ QUOTE ] the funny thing is that being pitchy is not something easily defined, and can also be subjective. i know professional musicians that say 'huh??' when they hear the term. they say it was rarely used until idol. |

Basically off key and pitchy are the same thing. But pitch does have a subjective value so it may be possible that occasionally the live audience (including the judges) may perceive a performance as different than the TV audience because of what overtones and other sound features are transmitted. |
