‘American Idol’ Fans Stumped By ‘Out Of Tune’ Dan Marshall’s Praise

American Idol fans are stumped by the praise for Dan Marshall’s performance. They think the contestant was “out of tune.” Some of them are even asking judge Lionel Richie to get his “ears checked.” This comes as the viewers have seen many of their favorites move on from the show.

The list of top contestants has been dwindling down. Season 20 has some of the best singers in recent years. But it also has some contestants that left fans scratching their heads. One of those contestants is Dan Marshall, who they feel should’ve left the show a long time ago.

Dan Marshall makes the Top 14

Marshall is one of the contestants on the Top 14 of American Idol Season 20. Fans feel that his singing is “boring and bad.” But somehow, he’s been making his way through the singing competition. This has fans questioning his stint and wondering if he’s an “industry plant.”

They can’t see how Marshall is more talented than the other American Idol contestants they lost. Despite the backlash, Marshall continues to be a hit among the judges and the live audience. They keep voting him into the next round. In the recent episode, Marshall took to the stage for his Top 14 performance.

He performed his rendition of Kenny Chesney’s “She’s Got It All.” Once again, he got high praise from judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan. Yet, American Idol fans couldn’t figure out how Marshall still remains in the competition. They noticed that he was “out of tune.”

Richie told Marshall that was one of the best performances out of the entire show. Fans took to Twitter to share their reaction once again. Not only do they find him “boring,” but they also want to know how he’s made it so far in the competition. Someone has been voting for Marshall even if he’s not a hit among the viewers.

American Idol fans are confused by his performance

Most American Idol fans called out the judges for praising his performance. They think the judges need to book an appointment with the ear doctor. Some noted that Marshall doesn’t have any professional experience like his fellow contestants. Others noticed that he was “out of tune” for much of his performance.

• “Judges not giving Dan good advice. They want him out in favor of Noah. Noah is more of a recording artist than Dan.”
• “That was not good, Dan, why didn’t Lionel say he wasn’t in tune for much of it. It wasn’t good. Katy just say it wasn’t good.”
• “Dan…boring. The hosts need to stop pushing this. Mediocre. Others are way better.”
• “I think Lionel should get his hearing checked because Dan has been awful…”
