      Habe ich gar nicht sehen (können).

      I saw a few minutes of a previous round, but stopped watching when the conductor called the orchestra “you guys”.

  • Not fair says:

    This competition is just ridiculous. The last thing to do – give her the first place. Best solution – no 1st place prize. 30 000 euros to BLM

  • Lars says:

    It is a ridiculous competition to have during this covid period. Late qualifier? Is that even fair? And I can’t even imagine the other better conductors out there. This year’s participants are extremely disappointing.

  • Leo Doherty says:

    Down to 3 contestants now for Saturday’s final, Thomas Jung, Finnegan Downie Dear, and Wilson Ng.

    • Lars says:

      They are all…unimpressive conductors. Has anyone watched the live feed? Wilson has absolutely no idea what he was saying, simply waving his arms pretty, Dear looks like a scared kitten; Thomas Jung is probably the only decent one out there in the final.

    She’s wonderful and she’s hot.

    Give her the first prize.
