First of all, what did you think of Kady getting voted off last night (week 3)? I'm a little sad, because Simon was completely correct in his evaluation of her: she has tons of personality and comes across as really charming...just not when she's performing. This may be her opera background, but she was the most wooden of all the contestants when she sang, and that's saying a LOT with this crowd, since practically none of them can manage to move while singing. It's really sad about Kady, because she's so bubbly and effervescent in every other situation, but then she grabs a mic and wham! a switch is thrown and all expression and emotion just stops.
Now, it is true that when you sing, you want to have your whole instrument relaxed - all the muscles in your face, head and neck should be relaxed for the best sound - but you have to temper that with the need to perform and interact with your audience. Sure, that means that your not getting the best vocal delivery you possibly could, but it makes you look human.
