It really biased the listener, it truly did.

Kim and Beth, thanks for stopping by. I think Brian will be the star next week. It’s just a “gut” feeling, but let’s see if my instincts are correct.

And Greg will do his homework.

I felt just awful for Martha last evening. Many people had forgotten that she was only 16 years old. It was all too much for her, I think and the judges’ negativity really affected her.

I always look forward to hearing what you have to say because you look at the singers in a very different way than I do yet we often see things eye to eye. I love that you’re open minded and see the good in all the singers – but I’m especially happy that you saw the good in my favourite (Brian) this week!

I don’t think this makes them bad singers, or even bad performers, but it’s something that immediately turns me off in comparison to someone who seems to engage each song (Carly, Brian).

However, I couldn’t agree more about Greg. While he sang well, the tongue bath the judges gave him was fairly undeserved in my books.
