Whoa - that's brutal!
Ask a belter if they start with emotion - I doubt it.
I had an adjudicator treat me similarly one time in the music festival. We
had been working on my head tones and my teacher was very encouraged with my
singing. I did my beautiful folk song and during adjudication, the
adjudicator all buy had me in front of a firing squad about my high singing.
My teacher was shocked. With each new category, she berated by head tones
until they became just what she was descibing - tight and forced. She even
used the word "pathetic" in front of everyone.
Then, in the sacred solo, when I sang a song that had a high G in which I
cut off the note early and didn't have much of a ring in it, I won the
class. Go figure.
