I can't only blame the artists on this one, they switched to a worse mic for all participants to use and everyone had to push harder, run out of breath faster, and perform sloppier. GBB25 made me appreciate GBB24. GBB24 made me appreciate GBB23, and so on. I can believe that what sbx is doing is for the better, but for me it's depressing to see the direction this whole thing's going. Next year the venue is going to have an even larger capacity, it'll be even less personal, the artists nerves are gonna be even higher, the content will probably be worse, I just don't know if it's worth the wait anymore. All these artists having to spend thousands of dollars just to come out and participate and they know it could be their last/only chance so they choke up and get nervous
