I have no opinion on the blind audition, but the rule as it stands prohibits any judgment call on the part of the judges of the audition, blind or not. Discretion is messy, but music is messy, too -- it's not objective and cut and dried, so I don't see why they think you can have such ironclad rules without cutting out many opportunities for unusual and memorable musical results. -- David W.
