We also need to give credit where it is due -- on a number of occasions, his comments have helped participants to correct their mistakes and to scale up their subsequent performances.
Am on you on this one 110%. I don't necessarily agree with his decisions all the time but let not a single act of error detract us from appreciating what is otherwise a good general performance of Ian.
It is obvious that his opinion carries the heaviest weight among all the other judges: he has built a brand of bluntness and professional respect - expect him in very many more TPFs.
And those folks ascribing him homo tendencies, mko na ushahidi ama ni vuvuzela too? M haters ni wengi - and that also means he is successful!
@magigi I agree on your comments about folks' appreciation of music in languages they dont click like Lingala.
