My personal annoyance with singers is that they always make it farther than they should. Sure, there are gems in singers like Emily West or Landau, but then mediocre singers like Miguel Dakota or BB always take the spots of variety acts.

I'm never excited to see a singer; I know exactly what they're going to do; sing a song and sound exactly like they've sung before. It's the variety acts that keep me invested. I have no idea what trick/comedy Piff will do tonight, whether Paul can step it up even further, whether Uzeyer's non-ladder trick will pay off. Alicia will just sing another song with a big voice. Sharon will puff off another ballad. Alondra will sing another Mariachi song with some big notes.

The personalities of these people bother me a lot less than they bother Jay.
