I probably shouldn't be posting this, but this is from a pianist's blog online who played in the Hilton head competition.  He gave "reviews" of all the judges.

Paul Pollei (chair): Without a doubt, the most idiotic bonehead to ever be allowed to touch a keyboard - it is my sneaking premonition that this absolute joke of a musician received his music degree by sending in a free voucher from the bottom of a Frosted Flakes box. Picture him: overweight Mormon from Utah wearing 5-dollar K-mart cologne, perpetually wet-dreaming about molesting unsuspecting contestants who will buy his crock of sh*t.
