How the fuck are Robert, Dean, and Eric listening to these audition tapes and still thinking this is a good direction to go with STP?
They claim STP is their baby? JonBenét Ramsey had better parents.
Don't get me wrong, there are some talented submissions, but to continue on as STP? Come on. Chester is a one in a million talent (singer/song writer) and 'High Rise' still didn't feel like STP. How delusional are these guys to think that lowering the bar past even American Idol standards is going to find them someone worthy of "new STP music"? This is insane.
*After listening to a bunch of auditions, nobody blew me away, but TJ Jones was definitely one of the better ones (even with that exhale thing he keeps doing), and way better than Toryn Green IMO. I'm sure they'll find some good musicians, but they should really pick a few singers, give them each a week of studio/collaboration time, and then... start a new fucking band.
