1 Words written in (*) were really hard to figure out. Could someone help me out? Most of them were correct, I marked the ones I changed in yellow.
2 What is hormonal? Is it a kind of disorder of hormones, or another meaning exists behind that? *in this case,"hormonal" just means affected by the normal female hormones, that can cause strange feelings and strange behaviour at times. LOL. I guess she means the hormones were having a bad effect, but now she's feeling better.
3 “I’m who better to understand you than a woman, a girl.” How I find this funny.
"Who better than X to..." is a set phrase, it means "X is the best at this"
What I heard is :
Judge: (*People come out here and they say), you never know what to expect and then you turn around, and you start to see how engaging and passionate, and you’re more comfortable than I am up there almost. And that is the moment where you realize that this person can be a huge star. I mean I really believe that. And It’s gonna get bloody, and we’re gonna fight, but I’m gonna fight harder than you.
Judge(woman) : I can't tell what she's saying either, no no, no harder than me.
Judge: No one fights harder than me. Six seasons, six seasons.
Judge(woman) : He hasn’t had a day-off. He is tired.
Judge(woman) : In season four, I might have been hormonal, and sleepless, but now I’m rested, and I am focused as laser. And I am going to give you all this focus.)
Judge : Listen! With all the focus and faith nothing will make that incredible connections to someone who will understand who you are as an artist, and be able to unlock the incredible potential that is there.)
Judge(woman) : And who better to understand you than a woman, a girl.
Judge : You know what, This is about your voice, you were phenomenal.
Judge(woman) : She knows that.
Judge : Listen! It’s actually the truth. I plan on winning this entire thing with you.
Judge : Don't you get the feeling that if you go with him, you won’t ever get a word in edgewise. You’ll never get to say anything, here’s what my three friends down here haven’t figured out, this isn’t about me, this isn’t about them. It’s about you, and what you wanna do. I just wanna help you figure out whatever that is, and make you the winner of this show.
Judge : Hey Cristina, what do you love, I mean who* who inspires you the most.
*he mis-speaks here and says "who" twice
Singer : My mom, She had breast cancer three times, and I thought she wouldn’t get to see me do anything like this. So I love my mom and I’m happy I got to do this for her.
Judge(woman) : It’s time to choose. Who do you pick as your coach?
