    • would be ideal for one of Mafe or Val to get stolen so we can have all four in the lives
    • Catching up…   - On rewatch I can see why people prefer Kyle but I guess tone wise I still pick Madison. Both deserved to move on though - Not totally sold on Olivia but not mad at her getting a steal either, I think she did well enough and sold the attitude of the song - Genre wise Josh doesn’t much appeal to me but I thought both of his performances so far were strong, really enjoyed him here. I didn’t care for Donny, his growls sounded irritating - Ducote is still a no from me - Unpop I guess but Serenity’s BA wasn't that great either so I’m not that shocked by this, but uhh yeah nothing nice to say so I’ll move on - I don’t think anyone’s disputing that Gene won but Ronnie was kinda robbed?

    • It's funny about "Half Of My Heart" - that was the jam back in college days. John Mayer himself conceived of the idea of him being Tom Petty and TSwift being his Stevie Nicks, but that song barely has Swift, and certainly doesn't have the constant duet interplay of "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around". It's a very good song however, and you can tell it's very personal to Mayer and he's always at his element with his mid-tempo bluesy dream-state vibe. It's good to hear it on the show.   But it's absolutely hilarious this was given to Anya and AJ. In theory, bluesy stuff fits both of them, but probably not this song because it's not personal to them. You probably need a legit songwriter with lived experiences to tell this story, and that's rarely on this show. Although TSwift and Mayer had a huge age gap when they sang it, it was mostly Mayer for most of it. Here, they were actually duetting, age gap exists, believability in the two embracing the lyrics is nonexistent. In whatever limited time we saw AJ  treat it like a jaunt, probably because he knows this is a sabotage song. He also seemed to have a weirdly deferential style in what little we saw, with Anya carrying the song, which is hilarious if we swapped it with TSwift carrying the song and Mayer's on background vocals. Anya certainly put the Olivia Rodrigo spin on this one. It's unfortunate that the idea of AJ seemed better than the execution, but AJ always had pop sensibilities that seemed to undercut the folky core he represented himself as, and that might have confused the coaches.   The battles are really a test for whichever contestant wants it more, sabotage song or not. It's also a test for deferential personalities. Ashley Bryant won off-genre against Elyscia, but also had the higher memorability/care factor with the vocal tinge/acrobatics.   I'm guessing Bryan Olesen is in for Team Legend for the long haul? This really seem like a girl's season; I think Olesen, like AJ Harvey, has too much of an omnivorous style to paint a cohesive image for voters. He's gonna bite off more than he can chew at some point, even though his recorded work in his prime was awesome (and non-vote bait material, ironically). Schuesler gives the appearance of someone people might vote for, lookin' like Laine Hardy and having a performance style like a less distinct Noah Mac. He's got good musical taste, but I think he needs a tad more seasoning. He's not consistent throughout his musical choices, and his battle style was deferential. He might make the voting rounds because short of R&B belters, they need someone like him to round the genre numbers. I rep Huntington Beach, but historically, SoCal doesn't do anything for voters.       
    • Johan Bester of KariSma Performing Arts reacted to Will's audition. According to the vocal coach's website, he "has worked with thousands of people's voices over the last 32 years." "These included amateur and professional singers, ages 5 to 80, in South Africa, Namibia, the USA and Australia." https://www.karismaperformingarts.com/#about
