ORIGINAL: Ricardo I'm getting irritated just thinking about it. Did the guy play well or not? That's the bottom line. Sorry for tantalising post, I really wanted to see what others here thought without giving my opinion. But OK, let's say I was surprised by what the guy did (these are folk that have made it through the auditions and are getting massive exposure as supposedly the best guitarists in UK). Although the performance was heavily edited, it was a very approximate rendition (in terms of note accuracy/relation to the original), out of compas and the articulation throughout was not clear with several flubbed runs, missed notes and open strings hit that shouldn't. He was miked up and it may be that the TV mix was worse than what the judges were hearing in the studio, but they were like 'gosh, wow, amazing, so accurate etc'. He flubbed the rasgueado climax and George Benson was practically out of his seat with excitement. Milos especially guilty ('he was on fire'), and then afterwards he criticises this classical player who does this (very good IMO) rendition of a tough Jorge Morel piece, and criticises him for being too fast and not accurate. It was MUCH more accurate. IMO the judges were in no position to judge this, that's basically my point. They get guest judges on this programme at different points, why didn't they draft in a pro flamenco player, its not like we don't have any here. It'll be on the Tube soon, I'll post it . EDIT Its up! see what you you think: 39:50 Classical player is at 56:38
