I agree that creating an original act after so many years is hard. However, this year was so low in originality (with the exception of KOT - and even they started with the same song as the ADPi's crayon act of 2009) that it was anyone's game in the end. When I say low in originality, I am thinking Zeta ( Theta 2010 ), ChiO (AChiO 2010), Kappa ( PiPhi 2011 - though not as similar to the original as the other 2), PiChi forcing a hymn where it doesn't belong and Kappa Sig and Fiji both with a twist on the explorer act that has been beaten to death. And some of the more innovative acts had somewhat previously used themes, like Theta - ADPi did toddlers and tiaras not long ago. Although Theta's theme was a parody of Miss Universe and didn't use any of the music used in ADPis number it was a Beauty Pageant nonetheless. Theta at least had an easy to follow story well supported by the music and their act was almost like a mini-musical, so it had some innovation in it. As far as the audience getting a vote, I can't agree with that. Who knows if it is the real audience voting or if groups have mobilized friends and family to vote for them? The TriDelts sitting behind me last Saturday were texting friends and family the voting info and asking them to vote for TriDelt. I know this because I turned around and asked them. Their response was "everyone does it".
