I meant to add that she is a teenager and I don't intend to be mean. My frustration as a viewer had more to do with the judges' failure to push her outside of her comfort zone.

When it comes to Phillip, "nice" for me was more a way of acknowledging his humility and integrity in the process, and not having anything to prove but still growing as an artist.
