Bianca is the first artist in a very long time to breathe life into "Take Another Piece of my Heart Out Baby" since Janis captured and made it her own.
To even attempt to go head to head with Janis Joplin's style is something that even seasoned blues singers approach trembling with fear. To hear an 11 year old girl standing alone on a stage before the world do so and to see her not only attempt the song but to actually revive the spirit of a lost legend took my breath away.
Perhaps the audience sound mix was not as clear as what was broadcast. Perhaps they were expecting the different more smooth style of the talented Faith Hill. This may explain their remarkable reaction to the performance.
While there may be some faults to find in the performance, to act as if the girl had done something inappropriate and must be steered to a more correct path told us more about the judges than the judged.
