What I liked

I seriously loved the show.I was unsure how it would work to portray people who were singing and had mental health challenges and discovered it worked incredibly well. I loved the intensity and how songs would go from sad to upbeat again.All the performers had beautiful voices.Most of the songs picked seemed perfect.My favorites were : Every breathe you take…followed with the creepy Don’t stand so close to me-clever idea and Come sail away and Crazy and then the the crazy in love mash up oh also the Talking heads song.

What I didn't like

The only things that were not as awesome were sometimes you couldn’t see who was singing a solo because they were seated down low in a hard to see place.AND there were a just a couple of songs(female sung songs) that did not have enough power or energy to them and should have maybe been louder or a duet or possible not included .The female vocalists were all amazing just not projected enough for me to enjoy the song.

My overall impression

I was captivated and excited to see where the next song would take us.These people can sing. Creative,
Clever,Original and Entertaining.Really enjoyed myself!
