There was one pretty bad contestant, and 2 okay ones. Then there was the fourth contestant. An Israeli girl who was on vacation with her family before she did her stint in the army. Nice back story. She was kind of timid, but warmed up as the song went on. Picked a rather challenging R&B song. Absolutely killed it. Had a better voice than probably half of the females out there today that have a recording contract. Did just a phenomenal job of a very difficult song.
The fifth contestant comes on. Picks a fluff piece from the disco era that needs very little talent to sing. Really works the crowd. And by 'works the crowd' I mean had fantastic boobs and new it.
The fifth contestant won.
There's a reason that contests such as this coffee cup recycling initiative and bake your way to a new kitchen have a judging panel after you get to a certain point. Allowing the general public to vote does not always allow for the better Wannamaker to win.
