Nice of Blake to show his support for Brayden's new song

Belated happy birthday, Julia! 

She's 14 now.  She shared this fan-made video.

Edit:

Morgan Myles is one of the co-writers of this song, according to the Spotify credits:

I'm sure there are some for each season but I can't remember them.

You really put yourself out there with this list. I'm surprised you only got 1 confused face reaction.

I had more like than confused, so that wasn't such a controversial list

This is supposed to be unpopular?? 

I thought it would be, considering how many seem to praise this season's finale and many didn't like the S22 finale.

Yay I didn't finish dead last

S22, S23, S24 Finale Performances > S25 Finale performances

forgot about her show, but they could tape around her schedule I guess, but it seems like a lot for her, maybe someone else will join. 

Anyone checked Keith Urban's schedule? A panel of Keith, Michael Buble, Snoop and Kelsea won't be too bad.

seems possible, or even the same 4 with no changes.

 

the ones who get the worst of it are the contestants who audition and then it's ages before they can tell anyone they are even on the show let alone did they make it through

Since when did the show care about the contestants?

Maybe Reba's contract has a clause that she only gets to attend one taping period per year.  I could be wrong but I think this double season tapings started in S24-S25 when she's on the panel, and now possibly S26-S27.

Maybe it's the same coaches for S26 and S27, except Kelsea instead of Gwen.

I thought @season1 would create it, but again he placed Karen and Nathan above him so

I didn't make any fan threads this season because I had no time to maintain them (I was on a road trip for weeks). Also, Josh is not my favorite country singer this season, and many of my S25 favorites were eliminated in the playoffs. Of the T12, Karen and Nathan are my Top 2.

Here's the official video. What a great song and Mara sang it well.

Mara's voice shines in this song.

Bonus Questions

 

 

Of the 10 songs that will be covered on Monday night, how many of them are “repeats” from the last 2 seasons - S24 and S23? (30 points)

 

 

 

 

Is the repeated song performed in S23 or S24 finale, or from any round in those seasons including blinds?

Brayden's new song "Be A Man" will be available at midnight (5/17):

Mara's cover of Maverick City's "Refiner" will be released tomorrow, 5/17/24 (available at midnight):

EDIT:

I love Mara's voice on this song.

On paper, with vote splitting by team due to the "vote for one per email" rule, Karen should have the advantage.

1. Karen
2. Nathan
3. Josh
4. Asher
5. Bryan

Morgan (s22) says hi

1. S22 did not have the one vote rule.

2. She competed against Team Blake.

Mara, Karen, Gina

Congratulations, Karen! Welcome to the finale. Glad that they called her first.

Since she's the only female and only D+S finalist, she should have a good chance for the win. I hope she gets really good songs next week.

1. Karen
2. Josh
3. Nathan
4. Tae
5. Serenity
6. Madison
7. Maddi
8. Asher
9. Bryan
