Will someone without a tin ear explain to me what the fuck "pitchy" means exactly? I've heard it used describe vocalists who, to me, sounded just fine.
Look for a page in people.com saying "audio guide to pitchy" or something like that, it explains it, or tries to:
Pitchy is essentially an extremely unfortunate way to say "pitch wrong all over the place". Then again if you listen to the examples used, the "correct" one sounds almost as painful as the "pitchy" one, so yeah....
wow he says pitchy A LOT lol atleast hes not like simon and says that was horrible all the time or when he said that DAVID COOK had no charisma!!!!!!! that didnt only light a fire under him it got under me too he was my fav for season 7!
That was funny seeing all those moments srung together. I was just thinking the other day that he says this all the time. We need to come up with a synonym for "pitch" and "pitchy" that Randy can use. It over uses the workd like "dawg" and his opening commentary line "Ok so here's the thing right..."
it would be great if someone could put up a video of him saying pitchy all the way through all the seasons... he's said it about 500 times already this current season.
Pitchy- American Idol's made up term for "sharp" or "flat". The term "pitchy" will not be found in any musical dictionary and would not ever be used by any person in the real musical world. but hey. its american idol. i wouldn't expect anything less
The hell do you come from? Pitchy is a normal word used in every band I ever played in. We always said "watch your pitch," "you're out of pitch" or "it was pitchy." Doesn't take a genius.
Sorry bud, I'm not talking about your cute little garage band or whatever. Legit musicins would in fact say "Watch your pitch" or something like that but they would never say "it was pitchy". Truuust me on this one. I've been in the professional music world for close to eight years and the only place I've ever heard this term is on American Idol.
You assume I had a garage band and have little experience with music. Whatever, I could care less that you've been in the music biz for only eight years. I've heard it, I've been around a bit and I am not insulted by your opinion.
You must be in a band with Randy Jackson then, as he's the only person I've heard using that word in a musical context. Having seen American Idol in the company of other musicians before, I know very well that they didn't know why Randy kept saying pitchy (they kept asking what he was going on about, as pitchy is not a musical term).
Like snakeman415 says, I know people who was say things relating to pitch control but never the word pitchy. Unless they watch too much AI.
Ah, maybe they did. Perhaps that's why. I didn't watch idol until Carrie Underwood's season... and that was a year after it happened (watched a rerun the year after). So some of the band could have gotten it from that. A good point. Me, I just say "you're #%% high" or "you're #$% flat"
yo Margieline, ur RLY dumb. did you not notice this is a COMPILATION of all the times randy says that word. its not like he always does. sure, he tends to use it a lot, but hes just commenting on the performance. theres nothing wrong with that. paula does not change things up in their description of strengths and weaknesses, stupid, she just goes, "ah, yeah. that was good. mhm." then claps like a bimbo. get ur facts straight.
This video only proves Randy Jackson is a dumb ass. At least Paula and Simon change things up in their descriptions of strengths and weaknesses of singers... ALTHOUGH. Paula is a FOLLOWER and tends to go Randy's way and vice versa. Which is rather annoying...
The only phrases Randy uses are "Check it out, check it out, check it out", "I dunno, it was just okay for me", "Dawg", and "On the pitchy side". I think that sums it up!
Simon is the best judge on that panel, bar none. He tells it like it is, and he's usually right on. Randy says "pitchy" waaaay too much, and does that silly hand gesture while he's saying. Paula is the "fashionista" w/ her overkill "nice dress" comments.
no way. paula is the best. simon only tells his opinion, not like it is. and his opinion is often WRONG (he turned down kelly, chris, elliot, taylor, jennifer hudson etc) Paula is positive but she actually does say negative comments a lot.
Yeah, he called it correctly but that pitchy stuff is overkill. RAndy is a puppet and he doesn't really have a good ear for good music. For him to say Sanjaya did a good job through away all credibility out the window. Paula is clueless, she follows what Randy has to say even if it's wrong. Im suspicous that it is mostly scripted for the sake of ratings and hype. Did Randy ever stop wearing so much makeup. He looked and avted so comfortable in it.
I do agree with you on some of this, but Randy does have a good ear and know what music is suppose to sound two words- Mariah Carey- ( enough proof he know music he works for her) :D
anybody with an ear and half a brain knows Mariah can sing. Randy IMO is now expert. He is more into pop therefore can't give an fair answer as to what is good. take Stephanie Edwards, the girl can sing like an angel but he was too critical and labeled her as a wannabee Beyonce. There are so many pop artist that sound just alike. Think about it. I would buy her music.
