Which one was contestant # 2? What song did he play, and what exactly was the 'technicality' that brought on his removal, and only "after" the 8 contestant Quarter Final Round voting was completed?
He played the Asian arrangement and was ranked #2 in the contest by the two judges. It was just announced as a 'technicality'... only Yamaha knows. He looked a little bit young, he may have been under the age of 18... just a guess.
I had hoped the contest would be a lot more than simply a popularity contest, and that the winner would be based on the actual merit of their performance. To be honest, I'm glad I didn't enter the contest now. Congratulations in advance to the contestant who has the most internet connected friends. Jonathan, almost forgot, welcome to Synthzone.
Scott - Thanks for the "welcome" to Synth Zone. I feel like I already know everybody here! If they just gave the prize away to the best, Yamaha wouldn't get anyone signed up for e-mail addresses for free. When it's your family a friends voting, they will give their info just to help you, not Yamaha. The company wins in the end... lot's of talk and exposure to a product is a "Win!"
A note on the AI... I liked Pia and Casey... both were great in their own way but both are gone!
