‘it’s about the contestants.’
True. The funny thing is I can usually tell who will make it and who won’t during the audtions. I picked Scotty McCreery and Phillip Phillips as the winners when I heard tham audtion the last two years. This year I picked Kree Harrison. So far just about everyone I’ve picked has at least made the top 4. I’ve got to say, none of the guys impressed me at all this year, and I’m not surprised they were gone once the voting started.
Mr. RightField thinks that the show was so determined to have a female winner this year that no male with any decent talent got by the auditions.
I agree about the males this year. AT best, talented amateurs. The four remaining women are very talented and should all be pros by this time next year. My own current pick is Amber, actually. I was pulling for Candice, but her voice seems to be breaking, which is very sad to observe. Kree is a sentimental favorite but she does not fully commit to the song. If she were to do so, that would be a game-changer.
