hey everyone! last monday yielded a fantastic buch of songs from all the musicians, and i’m looking forward to next week.
of course there are things i’m not looking forward to, specifically making another elimination. jon unintentionally threw me under the bus this last monday when we had to eliminate our first contestant, citing me by name as he asked anna wang to leave the stage. he also inferred that she was being kicked off for being “too sexual” in her songwriting, which was not the reason at all (albeit something we discussed), but i understand his panic – the first cut is the deepest. eliminating people after you have gotten to know them is tough. in reality, anna was chosen for elimination because her song and performance was simply not as strong as the others last week, and unfortunately for anna, she didn’t have any previous songs to lean on. so goes the first elimination.
if you’re interested, i will be doing more extensive blogs each week on our website, and will link there each week. good luck to all the contestants on their children’s book inspired songs, and tune in soon.
