"and by the way, why do the judges consider "Too broadway" to be a bad thing? they act like a broadway singer cant be an american idol."
Well, most Broadway singers couldn't...it's just a different style. Second of all, many people tend to have the impression that Broadway is very cheesy, overdramatic, overacted, unrealistic, impassionate entertainment. There are plenty of Broadway performers and shows that fit right in with that description.
Not only that...think of the most well-known musicals. The Sound of Music, shows like 42nd Street, etc...it's not exactly a hip, young, "edgy" style that's going to sell.
That's what's wrong with being "too Broadway."
I would love to see how some of the contemporary sounding singers on Broadway would do on that show though(the Idinas, Shoshanas, etc).
