I think the reason why Malachi didn't seem to feel Vincent to some people is that Carrie was making him smile and "charm" the audience. He was very unsure about this because he felt it was a sad song. Carrie should have left well alone instead of trying to turn him into a cabaret singer.

If you watched the live feed Malachi was the most emotional singer in there when just sat with his guitar at the acoustic sessions but the powers that be obviously didn't see this image as "marketable". A bit of a loss to those who only watched the highlights and Friday show.

I'm afraid I never got over the impression that Ainslie was contrived (and a bit devious), and couldn't stand his "performances".
