What I love about the show is that it shows what
hard work it really is to hone your craft.
Talent alone is not enough.
Maturity, perseverance, humility, grace under pressure, week after week.
This season has some dynamite voices.
Making a living in the arts is very hard work,
and misunderstood by most.
It may look glamorous, but performing under pressure
takes incredible skill and discipline.
I love the judges, especially Simon.
His honesty is refreshing in this era of flattery.
Simon is definitely refreshing, whereas Paula is just so sappy. *LOL*
Several of the current contestants really impress me--not just because of their voices but also their maturity and poise.
I think this season is going to be waaaaaaaaay better than the last one.
