Don't ever take it personally. Just that day, that performance they prefered someone else.</i> But yeah, sucky politics.<br /><br />I remember my cousin, who made her profession singing opera, & her bro having this massive ding~dong about technical accuracy over performance. She went performance, he argued for accuracy. Even at the top levels performance wins over artistry any day. Fact of life but a great learning experience. Next time a little pizzaz to great singing & Taryn might just wipe the floor.Ganeidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176246964466185315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5508637675893821519.post-34334514538420008492011-06-16T23:20:01.902+01:002011-06-16T23:20:01.902+01:00Sorry I forgot to sign off on my post. :( mumsSorry I forgot to sign off on my post. :( mumsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5508637675893821519.post-78631707880541131982011-06-16T23:18:46.137+01:002011-06-16T23:18:46.137+01:00I know how you feel.

Someones chicken casserole loaded with canned soups won, but Heather's (or yours?) meat pasties didn't because they were made with beef which isn't "as healthy as chicken"!<br /><br />Taryn has a beautiful voice and I'm sorry she didn't win.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5508637675893821519.post-41327424941767089792011-06-16T18:42:49.875+01:002011-06-16T18:42:49.875+01:00^^^ What JCR said. ^^^

Hopefully, Taryn can learn to look at it this way. :-)Wilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358496556865231547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5508637675893821519.post-12262784376897449252011-06-16T04:42:12.513+01:002011-06-16T04:42:12.513+01:00Don't ever get in any frame about winning cont...Don't ever get in any frame about winning contests. I say it is all politics beginning to end. Art shows, talent contests, drawing numbers contests, etc. Of course there are exceptions if it's an extremely professionaly run event loaded with rules. Otherwise, just chalk it up as experience and if you win, it's a bonus. jcrAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
