OMG, a talent show where a troubled underdog turns around and warms our hearts by not being the abject failure on stage we were lead to expect. What an unprecedented and non-formulaic turn of events!
edit: More of a stammer than a stutter.

Why should singers be judged based on their looks and not their singing ability?

im excited to see that gif in every topic now
You know what you're saying beforehand.
I have a stuttering problem, and it dissapears when singing or talking in english (spanish is my mother tongue). It's kinda funny actually.
The thing is in some cases stuttering is not physical, but psychological.
haha i saw that too. His mouth slightly opening and the change in his eyes.. but i don't blame him.

That was great. You could just see his eyes light up. Harrison blew him off like it's all the same.

I am amazed every single time when I see a case of a stutterer being able to sing flawlessly. There is a guy at my mom and dad's church who is the exact same way. He can barely speak, it's torture for both him and an audience listening to him try to say just about anything, but when he goes up front and sings it is just amazing. Not a single stutter at all.

It's so they don't judge them by anything but their VOICE
This gif will be added to my collection for future use.
Then why do they hit a button and turn toward them?
I honestly have never sen this show.

It's the show's gimmick. The judges pick singers to join their teams "sight unseen", supposedly just judging on the voice alone.
In reality, it's just an excuse for cool spinny chairs.
Because drama.
To show that they're interested in the person singing. And there's more supsense (I guess).
So they have a shot at being the coach for the singer. It's also a vote of approval
haha ok, so there is not actually a point to the button and turning around. I figured maybe it meant you won or something.
EDIT: Oh, ok, thanks you all for better explaining it.

This is legitimately my new favorite gif, I'm going to try and incorporate this into as many situations as humanly possible.

Whoa he looks like a male Jennifer Connely and the blonde looks amazing when r she turns in the chair. Cool story and great voice.
LOL
There absolutely is a reason
They start facing the other way so they judge the people based ONLY on their voice. While the contestant is singing all four judges have the time to listen closely to the performance. If a judge is interested in having that person join their team, that is when they turn their chair around.
At the end of the song, the contestant can then pick from the four judges who turned around to face them to decide which team they join. If none of the judges turn around, the contestant is automatically off the show. If only one judge turns around, the contestant instantly joins that team and they have no decision to make. Also, again, if more than one judge turns around, the contestant can then pick which team to join.

Spoiler alert:
He did OK. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrison_Craig
I messed with slowing it down, but decided I liked the fluidity of the full speed version. YMMV.
