Apparently it's the new fad in music (relivin' the 80's I guess).... horrible, just horrible.

It's so stupid! I think it's more because their voices suck live without editing. I'm glad I didn't watch the whole thing.
Two fold problem with that now a days:
1. Singers are too reliant on technology instead of their own ears to bring their voices into the correct key when they are off pitch. This technology can also be used to brighten or darken their natural voice so what we (the general populace) hear as "such and such artist" is not what we hear in a "live" show and thus they automatically suck.
2. The general populace has their ears trained to the "studio" and pre-recorded sounds of pop music that a natural and neutral acoustic show is now boring.... hence the need to show skin or have other amazing effects (lights, fire, etc).
To prove the point: I've asked several people at work what they thought about the SSB. Main answer: "It was boring, there was like totally nothing going on with it!" (No mention of the left out stanza, mixed lyrics, melismatic overkill, etc.)
Melisma is a musical device. Basically means taking one word and drawing it out using repeated patterns. For instance, in Agulerias (or however you spell it) rendition of the SSB, the word "Brave" had about 17 different vocalizations. This is called a melissma.
