I'd be happy with any of them winning 1. Asher HaVon - Easily the best vocalist this season, he can sing anything and make it sound good. Asher has been extremely consistent and I expect it to continue. I want him to win the most.   2. L Rodgers - L is just PURE. She's a powerhouse, has a gorgeous tone, and she's been consistently strong. I think she's also one of the most versatile singers left, and I think she can really explore a lot of different possible song choices and kill them all. She's one I'm interested to see each week.   3. Madison Curbelo - Madison has my favorite tone this season. She's extremely likeable and comes across as nothing but pure positive vibes. That's all I need to rank her very high.   4. Karen Waldrup - A country female I've really enjoyed so far, Karen has also been very consistent. I wasn't too into her audition but I blame song choice. She's a pro and will thrive in a live environment.    5. Bryan Olesen - Just a pure strong vocalist through and through. Similar to Karen in the idea that he's a pro and will be very consistent in the live shows. I haven't enjoyed his song choices so far but he's made them work very well.   I enjoy them, even if it took me a bit to get there 6. Maddi Jane - I'm not a huge fan of her going uptempo, but her singing is much better than her rapping imo, and she destroyed her performance of Stay. I hope she keeps going in that direction.   7. Zoe Levert - I honestly wasn't really on the Zoe train until she sang Iris. I think she should stay away from country a bit more, because Iris was right up her alley.   8. Nadege - I rewatched her playoff performance quite a bit and I enjoyed it more than I expected. I think I just like Nadege's tone. There's not really much else to her; she might be the most laid-back person who's ever made the lives lol.    Technically fine, very good even, just not for me 9. Nathan Chester - Vocally extremely strong, but I find him way too cheesy. Sorry!   10. Tae Lewis - Tae has been pretty solid throughout. It's just he doesn't stand out much for me.    11. Josh Sanders - Just not a singer I'd ever see myself backing lol. He's a very good vocalist, better than most male country singers I've seen on the show probably, but my tastes in what I root for on this show alone pretty much doesn't get him high.   Serenity 12. Serenity Arce - Easily the weakest vocalist of the top 12 and I don't think it's close. If you're having consistent pitch issues throughout the pre-lives, the actual lives will eat you alive. There are moments of beauty to her voice, but she's way too inconsistent. Playoffs wasn't a bad showing, but her run has been super shaky, and I personally find it baffling she made Chance's top 3 when he had Dani and Val in prior rounds. I wish her luck, but I think she auditioned a year too soon.
