No, it's not just you. I was going to include exactly this in my "contrast and compare" post above but forgot.

Lindsey (performing Shut Us Down on Ellen): Ellen gives him genuine praise at the end, ie "That was really good," said direct to him with a non-stagey voice.
Stevie Nicks & Her Pretenders on Ellen: The way Ellen gives her praise is patronising or "kind." Like a local kids' talent show.

I'm not having a dig at Ellen, btw (nor is Macfan4life I assume). She had her brief and played it perfectly. "This poor band is struggling to get on the their feet, and need all the positive encouragement they can get."
