Part of this contest has become not only the on-stage persona, comments with Judges and 'backstage stories' clipped together,
but,
now also expanding into a test of contestants in standard media scandals, gossips and buzz.

Matt has a strange problem here. He is a pure talented excellent singer. For reals.
In fact, he is a better singer than most of the professional singers who guest-star on the show.
Matt is so good that it's considered a 'bad night' when he was 99% flawless but just barely lost one note.

So what does he do here?
The Waissels know how to make up stupid crap for bird-cage liners. Chavr-L knows how to play this.
Simon knows how to make them fight or play out scenarios.

Matt needs something.
So this is what he has.
A public dispute with Wagner ffs!

but at least he has something going on. Something to try and get any sort of X-factor going.. to show he can do this part too. A little something. Not exactly daring but its something.

Excellent post, kinky mask-wearing man. You make me do the dancing elephant
