Brandy's and Maks' big egos are what made them lose. I'm sure I am not the only person who was so sick of her bragging about her 'musicality' and getting to cocky. She needed to be brought down a peg. She wanted to win too badly and thought she was too great. Maks also ruined their chances with his immature argument with the judges. If he had an issue, live TV is not the place to discuss it. They were their own biggest fans, and it ruined them. America wanted to tell Brandy who was boss, and they did. I laughed my butt off when she left. Good. I hate people who are too confident in themselves.
