What I read was:
“I was shocked when I heard this. Tell me what you think”.

And then the blows start and a bit personal. The answer to the question asked is still the same, the music and voice in my opinion does not make it. This is not to say the man is not a good person or that his ability to book a job is no good --- or any other negative remark to the performer.

It is just an answer to the question asked.
