Netizen, thanks for posting this. FWIW, it appears to me that Ace is a genuinely nice young man. He also has a killer smile and is easy on the eyes, to say the least -- and I also do not think that he is gay (although that really is not our business). BUT I simply did not think he was the most talented singer in the pool, and therefore I was in a hurry to see him leave, before he supplanted someone who gave better performances. I do wish him well in the future. I think he would probably be great in a soap opera (and I don't mean that as a slam) or a situation comedy (maybe they could work in some occasional singing into the plot). I just don't think he's a great singer.
As for Kellie, I certainly do not "hate" her. However, I think she is only moderately talented as a singer, and for me, the AI competition is about singing and performing. Her personality, such as it is, grates on me, so that is not a plus as far as I am concerned. Again, it is my perception that Kellie has given worse performances than some of the others who are left (such as her massive mistakes this week), and therefore, I would like to see her leave earlier rather than later. But again, that's JMO. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, LOL! That's what makes it a horse race. :)
I agree with your post all the way around. I could easily see Ace in a Soap Opera. I don't watch them myself but he could do it. Write him in as night club singer or something.
