I have some clips -- These are Republican has stands back and while they're all very good right now the federal really great -- -- they would get to this point if they weren't sure if -- -- that did not make the cut last night.
And I think that one was just nerves now there in front of a live audience they have the band they have all the production -- behind that they have to learn how to deal with that.
And the other contestant I'm gonna show you I think just did too much not only that just -- thought she did just too much to take a look at that.
