I believe the other show would have a lot less female winners if it wasn’t for the team format. They vote for the coach, and the contestants are left with the false impression that they have a viable fanbase. At least on AI, it’s 100% a vote for the contestant. This is a big reason why AI contestants have had more post-show success, and it doesn’t appear as though winning increases the odds as of late.
I argued a similar thing with Kamalei's KO, but the thing is, i honestly think that Zoe's tone shined on that song (which i love). It was ear candy to my ears and i don't think with that song in particular you need to add much as long as you keep the essence, which i think she did.
It's question of taste, i suppose. I could say exactly the same thing in favor of Kamalei's KO, but no, that one didn't work for me.
