season1

She's cute as a button in that picture.

She earned that vote with her great performance and she sang a very good country song in her style. I'm glad that she was able to sing good songs that fit her style and her voice so far, and I hope that continues next week. It seems likely she got another good song if she's excited about it. It would help her get the PV again with Nick's full support and positive words from Blake. And some tears if it's an emotional song.

I found Rachel's Facebook page (and added the link on the OP): https://www.facebook.com/rachelmacmusic I love this picture

I added that event to the OP with link to ticket info. The Country Summer concert in Santa Rosa CA has been removed from Danielle's website. I checked the Country Summer website, and it seems their lineup has been changed and the updated lineup has not been posted yet. A few months ago, the lineup looked like this:

Despite my name being season1, I actually didn't see Season 1 or most of Season 2. The first show I watched was the finale of Season 2 (performances) in Spring 2012. I thought then that the win would be between Jermaine and Juliet with a slight edge to Jermaine. The first full season I watched was Season 3 and my favorites were Cassadee Pope (Winner) and Terry McDermott (Runner-up). Since then, The Voice became one of the few shows we watch regularly. In Season 4, Danielle Bradbery became my #1 favorite of all time. At 16, her growth arc throughout the season was something to behold. Danielle's fan thread is my first ever fan thread. I liked and voted for all of the Team Blake Top 3 - Danielle Bradbery (Winner), The Swon Brothers (3rd) and Holly Tucker (6th). Team Adam's powerhouses Judith Hill and Sarah Simmons were the early favorites to win the show and Team Blake got the blame on IDF when they were eliminated in the Top 8. Danielle didn't gain much support until after the playoffs. Even throughout the live rounds, most in IDF preferred Amber Carrington from Team Adam. I didn't pay much attention to Season 5 but I liked Matt Schuler (6th) and Ray Boudreaux (Top 8). When they got eliminated in mid-season, I quit watching until the Finale. In Season 6, my favorites were Sisaundra Lewis [Top 8] and Jake Worthington (Runner-up). I created Jake's fan thread and not many people signed up on that thread. In Season 7, Craig Wayne Boyd (Winner) was my first favorite from the spoilers. I also liked Taylor Brashears (Playoffs) from her audition and I made her fan thread. She was the first one to play fiddle on the show, during the playoffs. In Season 8, my favorite was IDF's most hated country singer of the season, Corey Kent White. He finished 7th, losing to India Carney in the Instant Save by 2 votes. I also liked Sawyer Fredricks (Winner) and voted for him every week. In Season 9, my favorite was Shelby Brown (Semifinals). In Season 10, I didn't pay much attention but I rooted for Paxton Ingram (Semifinals). In Season 11, I liked both Billy Gilman (Runner-Up) and Sundance Head (Winner) but I was surprised by the Finale result. I thought Billy Gilman would win. Season 12, my favorite was Aliyah Moulden (3rd) and I made her fan thread. I also liked Brennley Brown (Semifinals). I was pleasantly surprised when Aliyah advanced to the semi-finals then got the PV to the Finale. In Season 13, my favorites were Ashland Craft (Top 10) and Addison Agen (Runner-up) In Season 14, my favorites were Jackie Verna (Top 10) and Britton Buchanan (Runner-up) In Season 15, I made the fan thread for my top favorite that season, Reagan Strange (5th/6th). I also liked Kennedy Holmes (4th), Sarah Grace (7th) and Chevel Shepherd (Winner). In Season 16, I like a lot of contestants including Karly Moreno (Cross Battles), Oliv Blu (Top 13), Carter Lloyd Horne (Semifinals), Abby Kasch (Playoffs), Gyth Rigdon (Runner-up). Season 17 is another season with a lot of favorites: Kat Hammock (5th), Ricky Duran (Runner-Up), Jake Hoot (Winner) Marybeth Byrd (7th/8th), Kyndal Inskeep (Playoffs), Damali (Playoffs). In Season 18, my favorites were Megan Danielle (Semifinals), Thunderstorm Artis (3rd), Joie Fulco (Playoffs), Cedrice (Playoffs). In Season 19, again I had a lot of favorites, including Carter Rubin (Winner), Worth the Wait (Playoffs), Ian Flanigan (3rd), Ryan Gallagher (4WKO/DQ), Madeline Consoer (PO), Tanner Gomes (PO), Bailey Rae (Semifinals). Here we are in Season 20. I started the season with 7 favorites after the spoilers were revealed - Rachel Mac, Cam Anthony, Savanna Woods, Andrew Marshall, Christian Connor, Ethan Lively, Zae Romeo. Rachel and Cam are the first two I really like and they're the last two standing. Would be great if they finish 1st and 2nd.

Added!

You're welcome, Rachel. We'll do it next week too (positive vibes).

Well guess what, not only did Rachel make the lives, she's now moving on to the semifinals. I hope you're spamming "The Story" on the Voice app. Add "Humble and Kind" and "How Great Thou Art" too.

Nice pictures from the live playoffs and results show. I love both her outfits this week.

I kept suggesting Humble and Kind on a couple of song threads (and her fan thread) since she won her KO.

Thanks for the info. I guess if we consider people who lost their KO (either steal or save), this season would be a first without one advancing beyond the playoffs.

Rachel looked surprised when Carson called her name. She didn't expect to get the public vote because social media seemed to favor Dana. I hope Rachel gets a great song next week and nails it then she will get the PV.

Is this the first playoff result that has no KO steal advancing?

But the results will still be the same.

I just realized that Ryleigh lost to Corey TWICE!

Not ideal but still would have been better that PYRO in the playoffs.

Kenzie - The River (Garth Brooks), Drive (Alan Jackson), Five More Minutes (Scotty McCreery) Gihanna - Halo (Beyonce) Corey - Fix You (Coldplay) Victor - I Can Only Imagine (MercyMe), What A Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong) Pia - Missing You (Tina Turner), Killing Me Softly (Roberta Flack) Rachel - How Great Thou Art, Humble and Kind (Tim McGraw), Safe and Sound (Taylor Swift), Somewhere Over The Rainbow (Judy Garland) Dana - Ain't Nobody (Chaka Khan), What's Up (4 Non-Blondes) Cam - A Change Is Gonna Come (Sam Cooke), Jealous (Labrinth) Jordan - Bad Moon Rising (CCR)

I hope she gets another great song next week. I would love to hear her sing one of the following: How Great Thou Art (according to her bio, she's a worship leader) Humble and Kind by Tim McGraw Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift ft The Civil Wars Somewhere Over the Rainbow (Judy Garland version)

I mentioned that Ryleigh and Anna are "on teams with coaches who chooses original team members in the playoffs almost all the time". They were lucky to actually make the playoffs because they were "stolen". They were not robbed of their place in the Top 9 when the coach picked an original team member over them.

Nobody was "robbed". Everyone who advanced are worthy of the semi-finals spot. Anna and Ryleigh are KO steals on teams with coaches who chooses original team members in the playoffs almost all the time. Zae and Andrew are KO steals who didn't get good songs and had mediocre performance in the playoffs. The rest were outperformed and outvoted by their teammates who advanced to the Top 9.

Sad to see Andrew's The Voice journey end tonight. I just wish they let him pick his own song for the Playoffs but it is what it is. He seems like a positive person and I can't wait to see what he does next.

There are many Rachel fans (though some are quiet). You can join us on Rachel's fan thread if you're interested.

Cam advances to the semi-finals!

Yay Rachel got the PV!!!
