  • #3 Slide 2: Victimized By Superficiality
  • #4 Slide 3: The Voice knocks out American Idol
  • #5 Slide 4: The ability to judge fairly and without bias. This topic is important because it will minimize unfair and biased judgments and fairly assess an individuals talent
  • #6 Slide 5: My audience should listen to me because I know first hand what it feels like to be in a competition and not be given a fair opportunity to showcase my talent because of biased and superficial individuals
  • #7 Slide 6: American Idol viewers before "The Voice" were trapped in shallow world of superficiality

  • #10 Slide 9: William Hung (non vocalist)
  • #11 Slide 10: "General" Larry Platt (civil rights activist)
  • #12 Slide 11: Point Two - The Voice is structured to focus more on the vocalist
  • #13 Slide 12: Coaches can only view an artist by first hearing the artist and then pushing their button to turn their chairs around
  • #14 Slide 13: The artist selects his/her own coach if more than one pushes their button and turns around
  • #15 Slide 14: Point Three - The set up for "The Voice" is structured better than American Idol
  • #16 Slide 15: The battle set up on "The Voice" is more entertaining than American Idol

  • #19 Slide 18: Singing competitions should focus on vocal talent and not image
  • #20 Slide 19: The Voice is a better Singing Competition than American Idol
  • #21 Slide 20: Fairly assessing vocal performances in singing competitions without favoritism or bias makes for authentic artists and credible songs
