RESULTS
FOR WEEK 2
Congratulations to Ross Getek, Marie Gonzales and Mark
Schmidt for making the top three
highest overall scores of the night and winning a spot in the finals on
March 16th!
I post these breakdowns because people often ask me why they didn't do
as well as they had
expected. Typically, it comes down to song choice & stage
presence moreso than their vocal
talent, so when they can see how well they did in the vocal category,
it ususally helps them to
find a better song choice.
We had a number of no-shows this week, mostly due to illness, but we
had plenty of people
waiting in the wings to jump in, so we had a nice full roster of
contestants.
Unfortunately, one of the contestants tried to pass their score sheet
off as someone else's and
then gave themselves an excellent score. Because this isn't my
first rodeo and I have decades
of experience with this, there are hidden safeguards built-in to avoid
such a thing and once I
discovered the attempt, took the scores that person gave to themself
and gave those excellent
scores to the person they pretended to be.
I don't believe in condemning someone for, what I hope was, a momentary
lapse in judgement,
so I won't mention names and I won't disqualify them, but by pointing
it out, I am hoping it will
give everyone pause before attempting any further deception. I
will say that the top three people
this week were not involved, so this does not effect the current
standings.
