I Survived BYUH Idol


Dont' worry, I did not do any of the singing during the finals of this semesters edition of BYUH Idol, but I did get to do some of the judging for the competition. Most of the judges in the past have been very nice the the competitors and have been very flowery in their comments to the contestants. If anyone had any sort of criticism, they would be heavily booed by the crowd. Lets just say that I got more than my fair share of booing, but to be fair, I was very honest with the competitors. I had no shame in telling people what I truly thought of their performance and the crowd disagreed with me. Many comparisons were drawn between me and Simon, but I think that we are both honest. We praise competitors when they do good, and tell them what they need to improve on when they fall short. All in all, it was a great experience and I would welcome the opportunity to be a judge again.

Here is a video of one of the competitors and I am at the end making comments. It is not when they boo me, but at least you will be able to see me. The audio is not the greatest, but what do you expect for youtube?
