When my time at the semi-finals came around, I was beyond shocked at about 3-4 of the singers who had made it that far. The editing on those CDs must have been beyond incredible because this small handful of folks was nowhere near the level of the others.<BR/><BR/>Requiring a CD (or not allowing CDs that involve an orchestra without written consent from the orchestra, which none will give) is also a touch unfair to rising singers who are actually working a little and simply don't have time to get into a studio (or record with an edirol and edit to death) because they are working.<BR/><BR/>I will be curious to see how this goes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
