Last night's special hour long Singing Bee was pretty good, but there was some things about it that seemed odd:

* Multiple incorrect answers that were left in the broadcast, presumably to fill the hour long time
* A bizarre elimination format which really wasn't clear until the entire round had played out
* What's up with the "fill in the entire" chorus round? The difficulty of that swings wildly from song to song. That poor guy who had to sing "Love is a Battlefield" was on the hook for, like, 65 words or something. Whereas some choruses have 10 or 15. That needs to even out a little bit.
* They seem to have settled on the scrambled word game for round two. That's grown on me a little bit, because you can still get the answer right even without knowing the song. I still think I prefer the fill in the blank game they used on the first two episodes.
* The final round was almost a joke last night, as the words to fill in seemed much easier than on previous episodes. Seeing as they hadn't given away the top prize in a few shows, maybe that makes sense.

All in all it's still worth watching on a weekly basis and leaps and bounds better than the FOX debacle.
