Miguel could have been heartbroken that he was rejected from the group. Every NO is for a reason because look where he is now. Advice is when you fail or are rejected it’s because god has another place for you. Rejection is God’s Protection

They dogged him out, being unfairly critical, Miguel was a better vocalist than the rest of them, Valure looked like a Tubi version of Viola Davis, her attitude towards Miguel sucked, it had nothing to do with cockiness or over confidence, his energy was more infectious

They went with the guy they didn't feel threatened by. They were afraid Miguel would outshine them. And ultimately that's still what happened.

Miguel always had star quality. He never would have fit in that group. He was meant to stand out. They knew it, that’s why they were threatened by his presence.

Exactly I remember when me and my big brother were like I think I was like 9 and he was 12 and we had we knew Beyonce would go solo one day we just knew she would go solo you could tell and it wasn't because the other girls were just bad singers is just beyond had that star quality everyone thinks it was light skin and privilege and it was like no Beyonce just had that star quality but as an adult I know why her dad made sure that she was center stage front and center everyone was saying her name like they they molded her career into what it is today . And she's a much stronger singer today than she was when she was younger like I like the way she sounded when she was younger but today her voice seems so clear and mature and Rich @@daniellemoore492
