I watched the contest at Elk Park and thought the judges ended up with the right winner but the first round results were skewed. Caitlyn did a really good job in the second round. After the first, I thought Hadley might win but Caitlyn topped her in second round. It looked like Nick and Helen Forrester were judges for that round.
The second round was all female and they excluded a really good male songwriter/performer in favor of a couple females who were not up to that level, not sure why. Brennan Mackey's song Gasoline has a good hook and he deserved to be in the finals.
Judges for band contest got it right with Lil Smokies. They were hot. The surprise for me was Running out of Road from Durango. I had not heard of them and was very impressed.
