Simon Cowell told Jennifer Hudson at American Idols season 3 that “This is a prize for those who sing and not for those who shout", babe went on to win Oscar, BAFTA, SAG, 2 Grammys (6 nominations)… Seyi Shay no be God.

Seyi Shay should have tried the sandwich approach

Praise first
Criticize
Praise them again

That's how to give feedback

Eg: nice voice, I think your performance could be better if trained, once again, nice voice.

How you say a thing matters also.

Seyi Shay should have literally passed her judgement without being condescending. If you have to say NO, just say it without mocking them.

Seyi shay had just one job at Nigeria idol, to constructively criticize and not attack the participates self-esteem. she feels she knows so much in music yet she had flop career and didn't stay relevant in it. Istg, all her music were worse than that kid she was mocking
