I don't know. I hate to be the "sensitive one," but I was offended by Mary's reaction to a few contestants. Granted, the "death guy" certainly did not escape death the way one may normally think of it, but he seemed serious about his feelings about his luck and she was laughing well before he sang. To me, it seemed like a lack in his mental understanding, and it made me pretty sad when she just laughed, and laughed, and laughed... If it was his singing that she was laughing at, okay, it is a singing competition; but to laugh at his personality and what he holds to be true (mentally), is really rude. I just really felt bad for this kid even though he did not seem crushed or deeply bothered by the dismissal he earned. I also know that the producers choose who will make it to the judge's panel in these early days, but there is some level of maturity and tact that is necessary, and I don't feel like Mary had it. I know this may come back and bite me but I am a "feeler," and I am laying them out for you .
