Then you have the Norwegian newspapers, who will "always" give a 4/6 or 5/6 if some fairly famous artists show up somewhere. It could very well be fair that MK gets such marks, but the same thing would then apply to most other artists. Such a practise essentially makes any scale useless, and you'd give good grades simply for playing to an audience without making a fool out of yourself. Which is fair enough, if you compare international stars with school kids doing some assignment at a local theatre.
