I love the sense of support and community that I get from watching these contests. I think I especially love to see the support that Tristan and Tashina show each other… and that goes for all the contestants and their accompanists; yes, this is great. ❤ T. Ferris 😊
It's a competition. The judges are presumably backstage listening through headphones, so the guys accompanying her were trying to take up positions around the mic so as to give it a balanced sound. The video aesthetics aren't their priority.
