You are not objective. You don't like country and western and you don't want it represented. Yet in choosing the candidates, objectivity is what needed. You can vote against every country and western candidate but you should not keep them off the ballot.

Marisa is not only better than the other country singers you mentioned (which is not relevant), she is better than the other child singers (which is relevant). That is why she deserves to be in the semifinals.

Furry used to try to crucify Marisa for the sins of Grace, or of AGT in choosing Grace, and now you want to crucify her for the sins of 10 other guys. To me it's all unfair and BS.

No, I am not a relative or personal friend. I have never seen or met the child. I am not passionate about her: I think I am logical about her. The truth is I had never heard of Marisa McKaye before Judge Cuts 3. Then I heard her song and said "She has what the other children don't". Then I did some research. I found out how she was treated on AGT and I heard her songs. I said "She was the best and got the worst". I never tolerate injustice and have often spoken out for people I never saw.

I am a New Zealander setting up schools in Bangladesh for children who do not have them, or for children who do not have English-medium schools which they can afford.
