It honestly wouldn't be that shocking. The new era of idol is so short and the cuts week to week are so massive that it is hard to parse out where people stand outside of like 2-3 of them. It would be kind of silly to be shocked by a pre-top 5 booth from anyone other than maybe Abi, Will, and Triston. During old Idol, there were much longer seasons and it was usually the same contestants in the bottom each week so you had an idea of everyone's place in the competition. Mckenna could be high up there in votes or she could've barely scrapped by into the top 10. It's hard to tell. I will say it isn't lost on me that they stuck her at the end of both voting nights so someone is pulling for her BTS. As for her voice, I thought it was at risk of tiring out during hollywood week, but I think I've settled with that's just the natural quality of her voice. It is kind of a mix of Elise Testone and Laci Kaye Booth. I just need more Elise and less Laci, whose voice and vocals did become concerning by the end of her run. I think she just needs to stick to songs like "Both Sides Now" and avoid "The Story." Unpopular opinion, but she had no business singing that song. I see like a top 7/top 8 ceiling for her tbh. I could also be totally off.

She has a big voice, but she lacks control. I don't think she has had one performance, including her audition, that didn't go off the rails at some point.

Oh, that's not –

Messy

Lmao you think that gave it away .

Kind of the best performance tonight.

Someone likes Mckenna because they love putting her at the end of the show.

Really, I don't see that going well for her at all. She would nail "My Immortal" though. That seems more in her wheelhouse.

Something was off when she got to the belting, but can't put my finger on it. She got it back towards the end.

Yeah, I thought she started fine, but the second half was kind of messy. I feel like "My All" is such a delicate song that it requires immense vocal precision.

Not a rock arrangement...the vocals were too messy.

Oh wow he was on The Voice Australia. He looked much different then. Idk his voice seemed better then. Anyways, "When The Party Is Over" was a mess like I knew it would be when I read the spoiler.

Yeah, that was sus, especially since Odell has not once sang gospel during the competition.

Odell song choices have been kind of terrible.

Is the show 3 hours tonight? More than half way through and only 8 people have performed
