A lady connected with the band was seen chatting to all three judges before the band took to the stage.
Photo's of all the bands' 'followers' were taken and their names jotted down. This did not happen for any other band.
The band are not LOCAL - this was a comp for local talent.
There is high speculation that the band are SIGNED. This was meant to be a comp for unsigned acts only.
The music of GoldTrip out of all 6 bands was the least suited to a Jovi show. Any of the other five acts would have been perfect. After talking to many people after the show and even today they are all in agreement that this was the worst possible choice. Fix.
There is huge uproar today, a chance for a geniune local rock band to live their dream has been taken away. What an utter shame.
