Huh?
Why would American Idol care about that? Most pop artists (and certainly most North American pop artists - Michael Buble is a recent and serial offender) Autotune the living shit out of every track they ever go near, and have flashy, whizz-bang dances and fireworks and lights at their live gigs to distract the audience from the fact they're clearly lipsynching anyway (Britney, Madonna, etc.).

So it doesn't matter that the teeny popstrels couldn't carry a tune in a leaky bucket.

Using "pitchy" in the context of a live rock gig, on the other hand, is fully deserving of BC's wrathful scorn. You want pitch perfect singing every time, go see an opera.
