I don't like the whitebalance in these, too tungsten looking.
But the first pic I like.

Great expressions in these, what a great musician. I agree, whitebalance is off, color balance is off. Could use some serious editing here. Exposure is a bit high in some as well...as difficult as performance lighting situations can be, they can be overcome. National acts tend to have incredibly well lit stages, so it makes it easier. Images have too many blown out areas. Don't think I'm nitpicking here, I love your captures, some intense moments in all of your images I've seen so far, Idol, Nuge and BB, but if an editor were looking through these to hire you, he'd probably pass by due to the technical issues. A faster shutter speed would have done wonders here, you would have nailed the focus, wouldn't be so soft...also would tone down the harsh spots, especially the image at top. This is a really great moment you captured, but think how much more it would project with the right lighting and editing.
Issues already pointed out aside, I like the first two. The second in particular has a really good feeling.
