I think he carefully avoided a couple of other difficult points also. 
OTOH it could be that some of the differences with other performances of 
this song are because the others added a few things. I am not skilled 
enough myself to read the original score.

Such reality shows may have value for some. That, however, was not my 
point. The point was that whenever there is a contest of this sort or 
one where they follow the creation of a band or something like that, 
they always try to avoid starting with skilled or talented people. The 
winners tend to be the ones where this failed and accidentally someone 
with talent entered the competition. Good for them, good drama all the 
way, but IMHO not the best way to find talent.
