Their minds are so open that their taste and discrimination fell out.
Taste?
Surely there's no place for 'taste' in a popular music competition.
Surely the idea that anyone here has superior taste or is more discriminating than others is a bit 20th century. Pretty well everyone here knows and loves their music but they often wildly disagree as to the merits of one given track/artist/genre. Why anyone should still believe that what they like is somehow 'good' and what they don't like is 'bad' is beyond me.
But I think there's a lot of motivated reason going on behind that attitude and you'll never persuade some people.
