he doesn't have to choose all crooners I mean Reba has Asher, and Blake didn't always choose country artists. I hope he'll choose a diverse group of singers
Nathan, Karen, and Josh seem pretty solidly safe - it’s that last spot that’s tricky.
If TPTB wants Chance’s team in the finale, their best shot is getting a PV for one of them; their second best shot is Asher getting the last PV + giving one of the girls the pimp spot in the save.
If I had to guess who’s getting the last PV, my bets would be on Asher or Madison at this point, but I wouldn’t be too surprised if one of the other four pulled it off. That said, if one of my predicted-safe people ends up in the Instant Save, it’s game over for everyone else there.
My GOD this panel is fantastic for casting reasons. With the No Doubt reunion, I hope Gwen gets back into punk/alt rock and TPTB casts some artists in those genres. As always, looking forward to the amazing indie artists that Gwen seasons usually have.
Snoop Dogg isn't that unexpected of an addition considering some people were predicting him to be a coach after S20 (then we got Chance instead 💀). He does literally EVERYTHING and I can't wait for some wacky and amazing song arrangements he can come up with. Being in the same season as Gwen, I hope some 2000s hip hop gets represented on the show as well.
If Reba isn't already the new Blake, Michael Bublé will be if he becomes a long-staying coach. Not really a fan of crooners, but I'm excited for the possibility of more jazz singers. As someone from a nation obsessed with belting, I hope we get some good traditional pop belters as well (inb4 a breakout performance of Feeling Good; Braiden Sunshine anyone? /j).
