Also if we weren’t sure about Anya being eliminated, she has yet ANOTHER single release a week from now.

edit: I didn’t even catch the second one but apparently Olivia released two singles over the course of the season too
We can pretty much confirm Tae, Karen, Madison for Team D+S I think.
Well, you were right. I don't think that anyone was expecting Tae to be leaked.
He was definitely solid and very strong once more, though. I can see Dan + Shay putting him through after that performance. I really liked that.
Her interaction with Simon during the Green Mile episode was one of the most gracious things ever. I think that did a lot for the show because I don’t remember Simon ever bringing up someone’s weight again on the show.
Slightly weird memory/anecdote: So a couple years ago, a friend of mine invited me and my best friend to a music festival, no context. Didn’t realize it was a Christian event (me and my friend aren’t, but that’s beside the point).
Anyways, it was this whole big lineup of acts that I’d heard of but never really cared to listen to since I don’t like the genre. Mandisa was one of the few acts up there that was REALLY good and felt good to hear, even though we knew none of the songs. I recognized her from the Idol days and she was still stunning and exciting. The day was kind of weird since we were kind of the odd ones out in a crowd of hundreds, but to this day me and my friend look back on the day in a positive/funny context and say “at least we got to see Mandisa (and TobyMac) and laugh about it. Like Mandisa was the highlight of the day and we still talk about her like she was Beyonce or something. We still do that almost a decade later. I texted him this morning about this and the response was “NO WAY.”
Definitely made an interesting impact. You could tell how passionate she was on stage about Christ and it stirred excitement in even me watching her, so Mandisa was definitely doing her duty on Earth in sharing her gift. Rest in peace to a great vocalist!
