    • For me, I don't make a point of singleling someone out each season and then relentlessly going after them - to the point of suggesting violence as with Colin Stough last year.  That gets into Bullying.  
    • As someone someone who grew up on rock music and almost exclusively listened to guys it is funny how my musical tastes have shifted over the years. While I still listen to a lot of 90s & 2000s rock my preferred genre these days is country. A genre that isn't exactly well liked here either. When I got into country I tried to give everybody a shot but almost everyone that I liked the most was a female. It was during the bro country era where the guys were just making bad music and if you wanted to listen to an actual good song you had to turn a female on. When you combined that with the fact that how horribly women are treated in the country music industry compared to their male counterparts it just became super easy to support them over the guys.   Now how does that translate to the singing shows? It's a pretty similar trend the audience generally speaking treats the men better than the women which is unfortunate. You have to either be exceptionally talented or the right type of person to get same the level of respect as man does. Where as if you are a guy it's a lot easier to coast on these shows. I have voted for a few guys on The Voice and American Idol before but the type of guys they cast on here aren't generally the type of guys that I would listen to off the show. If the shows had more good rockers that would be cool and I might be willing to vote for more guys but usually the male pool is filled with mid pop or country males and while I do like a few male country singers now the ones l listen to on Spotify were ever on singing shows.    So in conclusion while I would never support some one just because of their gender because that would be silly as there are a lot of females that don't interest me and there are a couple of guys that do the ratio is probably always going to dramatically shift in favor of the women over the men for me. 
    • They've been hammering it home in the editing of how he hasn't won since his first season, too, so maybe it'll happen.
