What people are saying
This decision is one of the most difficult; more difficult ones are coming, but many things must be taken into account, not only voice and talent, but how they get along as a group, how they are with their fellow contestants, and what they can contribute to the group.
It goes without saying how proud we are; all of you here are such winners.
They were always supporting me every time I sang, and having them here in the front row was like practicing at home.
