Factors Considered for the Ranking

Did they have a unique tone? Did they wow the judges and the audience with their technical skills? It's all about vocal prowess!
- Stage Presence: Some people are just born performers, while others need a little help. Stage presence includes their confidence, their ability to connect with the audience, and their overall charisma. Did they own the stage? Did they command attention? Did they make us feel something with their performance? It is the secret ingredient for the success of a singer.
- Song Choice: Selecting the right song is crucial. It must showcase their voice and personality. Did they pick songs that highlighted their strengths? Did they take risks and try new things? Did they choose songs that resonated with the audience? We considered the song choices and how well they suited each contestant.
- Overall Likeability: Let's face it, we all root for the contestants we connect with. Their personality, their story, and their interactions with the judges and other contestants all play a role. Were they genuine? Were they relatable? Did they make us smile? It is important to remember that contestants that are liked by the audience usually go further. This can affect their journey!
