Not because I hate her for any reason or because she is a bad singer, in fact quite the opposite. I think she's exceptional. It's just that I think that Yoli should've shown some backbone in her first audition and stood up to Simon and said something like "well that was the song I wanted to perform. You don't like it then I am sorry". She still would've had the exact same singing quality, just singing older stuff. And what the hell is the problem with singing older songs? The Masqueraders do that. And every time Simon gives her compliments it feels wrong because it feels like he is being really arrogant because it was his idea to "change" her and make her different for no reason. It would have been incredibly stupid of Yoli to talk to Simon that way. He's one of the most successful music producers in the world, so he knows someone's not living up to their potential if he hears it. She sounded so much better and more confident when she was singing the song Simon gave her, and that carried over into this round.

Also I was pretty disappointed with the judges this time around. I don't mind Chase's golden buzzer, but Mirror Image and Junior & Emily making it through over the magicians or Sammulous, or even Tulga...? I guess if she was open to having a change then it would be okay and of course you wouldn't want to talk rude to Simon, but if you don't feel like anything should change, you shouldn't let anyone say otherwise, even if Simon is a successful music producer. Even Simon can get it wrong once in a while.
