Thanks for your analysis. It's entertaining, and I agree with most of what you conclued. Just a few points:
Ryan was the only one who showed an ounce of common sense. You can't put a full-bodied woman on those stilts to dance around the stage, for heaven's sake. And, I don't see anything wrong with Mandisa's weight and our mentioning it factually. She's bright, talented, funny, healthy and fit enough to keep up with the rigors of the show. I don't think anyone worth their salt is going to hold Mandisa's weight against her; she's a complete package.
Kellie.....my gosh, she's like someone out of the Beverly Hillbillies TV show; I mean that in a positive sense. She'd probably be better off under the tutelage of a female country singer than with all of the nonsense the handlers are doing to improve her.
Between crummy hairsyles, weird wardrobes, background music that was a negative, and having to choose a Stevie Wonder song, it was just a really weird night. I just wish they wouldn't "help" these natural talents so much.
In an odd way, I missed Gideon and Will.
My pick....right now, Mandesa or Taylor. They're the most entertaining and confident entertainers.
Agreed. She's a great performer at size 6 or 26. Mandesa and Lisa are the only ones who don't annoy me.
