As of writing this, Nathan has been the most consistent singer from start to finish imo. I don't think I've heard a bad note come out of this man's mouth yet, and that's while delivering some of the best performances every round. Especially from playoffs until now, the level of his performances have been nearly unmatched this season.    Also, can we talk about his stage presence? It's so damn smooth. Some of the best we've had in recent seasons.

I would be surprisingly happy with this, but it ain't gonna happen. Maddi has the worst numbers on Facebook and a Minivan unfriendly performance, while Asher still dominated all social media platforms. A not-so-great-but-still-better-than-others performance won't drop him to #5 in votes.    Also, I seriously think there's a reason for TPTB to give the pimp spot to Tae. There's no middle spots like earlier seasons. So there's still a small chance he pulls an upset and snatch a PV tomorrow. Not gonna lie, I think they had everything prepared for their outcomes already. Just hope all teams get represented.

My tinfoil hat theory is that TPTB gave Asher "irreplaceable" to halt his momentum since they want Legend to get his last win with Nathan Chester, who has had perfect song choices for his voice and style every round except the battles. Ofc, they wouldn't be backing him if Nathan wasn't good, and he has killed every performance and deserves the credit for that.   But we all know TPTB like to steer things in a certain direction, and if it works, they'll keep doing it.. (see S23 with Gina Miles).   Anyways.. even if the theory isn't true with Nathan, Im still skeptical Asher picked that song for himself until he confirms it outside the show.    I know we all know this, but good reminder that contestants don't have a lot of control over their song choices, and perhaps they give some contestants better options than others

Rise baby. I preordered the vinyl and I'm going to buy the cd too.
