Do you play better in the competition or at the winner's conert?

on: September 15, 2005, 04:07:53 AM

I've always done better at the concert, (at least I enjoy myself more) I dislike playing in competitions, I feel like I'm on trial (which I am...)

Some of us do better in the competition phase, why is this so?

Inquiring mind....

Concert. Way more fun - - - a time to goof around with your peers (former competitors) backstage and then party hard that night.

I play better at the competition...the winner's concert, I'm sitting and talking with my friends, and I have trouble focusing. But sometimes I can quasi-nail both.
