George had strained his vocal cords, so the last three weeks or so he sounded really different.

I think his biggest problem though, was that he was trying so hard to please the guest musicians.

They would advise him to do something that just wasn't right for him.

Elton John and Barry Manilow didn't do George any favors with their advice in my opinion. He wanted to please them so he did stuff that just wasn't his style.

Jasmine and Diana are close to my daughter's ages so I have a bit of "mom affection" for them.

My oldest daughter is 18 and my youngest is 16, so Jazzie and Diana are just little kids to me!

Bad break for George. One thing about that show, one mistake can kill you.

I know what you mean about some the youngest ones being kids. I still think that it's the kids who are driving most of the voted however. When you go back and look at how long JPL and John Stevens stayed, while others who would appeal to an older audiance left, I can't think of any other reason.

I have no doubt it would infuriate a lot of viewers if they found out their 14 years old was determining the outcome but why not.
