It would have been nice to show us around instead of just talk, talk, talk… Not the worst episode, but as genuine as Kristina is she still needs work.

After watching her interview and this produced piece, I really like Kristina. I like her attitude, her interviewing style, her demeanor on camera, and her inquisitiveness.

The most important part for me was that she took hold of my attention at the beginning and kept it throughout. I already know what goes on in a recording studio, but even so, I found the piece enjoyable to watch (good gunplay story!).

With a 20yr history as a broadcast producer/talent, I appreciate the way the whole thing was put together. The editing was tight (while getting tons of images and information in) and it had a clear purpose.

She seems to have a very nice combination of creative talent & geek cred, and looks to be someone who would have no problem taking direction. That last part is key… I see her as being the person in this race who would have the same level of enthusiasm going into an interview with a name entertainer or an interesting person who she has never heard of or knows nothing about.

Kristina gets my vote so far.

Interesting show, but I didn’t get a feel that Kristina’s personality really came through; like it was overpowered by the topic and the industry. Is it because of her music interest? Would have rathered she did a show outside of this focus to show she had more range, or at least gave less of a “star struck” presentation, for lack of a more accurate phrase.

Delivery over all felt tense and not very smooth/confident. I do like her personality though, if she can get beyond the mike work and smooth out her presentation. Love the look.

Professional, talented, well educated. I really enjoyed this vid. I learned about the topic in a way that was entertaining and digestible. I like how we get a taste of Kristina but it’s not all about Kristina! What I am left with is the feeling that I want to return to Mahalo Daily to see what other interesting things I can learn about. I really like that about Kristina. I give her a lot of credit. She could have blabbed a lot. NICE JOB! More videos please… and thanks for this one!

A definite NO vote for me. Totally uncomfortable on camera, hesitant speech pattern, not the best questions. Great look, but not a vlog host.

The best- a great topic- a refreshing perspective on the stuff (music) that surounds us. Great for Mahalo giving the geeky- interesting inside view on the normal. Done elegantly good questions. On topic- with the Mahalo strap line for those interested in how to start. And got on well with the interviewee- seemed to like her in last shot. Yes definite

I thought the interview was good. Very interesting topic. That said, she looked very nervous through out the entire interview. Obviously something that would get better over time but also something that stood out the entire video. She looked scared of that old man when he spun her around in the chair haha.

We shall see what happens. I’m anxious to get this over with so we can get on with more Mahalo Daily…

BACH-EE-LAWWWWWN!!!…. *CAPE SWOOSH*

She wasn’t bad. I thought it was very interesting and she had good interaction with the guest.

She’s your winner. No doubt in my mind.
