I was very impressed w/ Joana's performance. I fully expect her to continue and fully support the idea.

Here are some I thought would make it. (Best I can do...) Joanna Hello Sunday Damali Max Boyle Marybeth Jake Hoot Will Katie

I, really, like these 2 The whole presentation works for me. Love their voices, apart & together, good sense of timing & choreography. I suspect they will be in the 12 or 13 and rightly so, they deserve it

Katie make my list tonight. There were some details & nuances in both her voice & delivery that, really, worked in this performance. It was entertaining & enjoyable.

WOW No question about Marybeth being part of the delightful dozen What a cool tone to her voice.

I though Jake sounded wonderful Absolutely should be hearing more of him is my prediction.

Again, a magnificent voice & Damali SO expressive. I reckon she will be among the chosen few.

Max, I thought, did a hell job and managed his voice extremely well. Expect he will be among those voted to continue. Sounded great!

Will was one name I jotted down as I went through tonight's performances. He was very impressive. He should be 1 of the 12 or 13, after that, I would think/expect.

I am going to list some of the ones I particularly fancied after tonight in order of appearance: Realizing it's not 12; oh well... had written down names as I watched, seems I had (only) eight. Joanna Hello Sunday Damali Max Boyle Marybeth Jake Hoot Will Katie

All the good, nice, supportive, optimistic things I had said, already, carry over to here :D Isn't that a lame cop-out, eh? But, seriously, I meant it, :icecream: Same as I meant every positive, enthusiastic thing I had, already, said. Lost the thread, but, not the view towards Marybeth. Just have to pretend whatever I'd said is here :whistling:

Myself, I am just stuck on how super-good their Knockout performance sounded! WOW! was I ever impressed Although, the "duo to the lives" part is pretty cool... duos, in themselves, are a bit rare on The Voice and for one to go this far is an odds-against accomplishment plus, add to that the duo is 2 female voices which, is probably even more unusual than a mixed duo. Mostly, for me, they just sound so damn good.

(yes) It is sure hard to not think about all so many of us put into writing "The Book of Danielle". I can't imagine a better more comprehensive tracking of her Journey from her stunning Blind (when some people just 'knew') to literally, present day. No question it is, indeed, a sad loss... now, I wish I'd saved the Christmas & other occasion cards that were done for Danielle, among other things from all of us. It was so impressive for it to have become so big & so very active for ALL of 6+ years. All we can do is have 2.0 be just as strong, representative, interactive and valuable. Lesson learned, we'll save heaps more. And, kudos ('S1') for anything that wasn't lost & gone; that you could find or did have.

Right about the time the site went south, I had said this in the original thread. Now, I can put it here :) I went back (so to speak) and listened to Damali's Knockout. I will admit, I am that much more impressed because of her age... her voice is very well developed for 16. Aside from that... the quality of her voice, how well she can play it, the qualities in her voice... Damali is definitely one to watch & expect to do well on the show; the potential IS there. I, for one, am VERY keen to see how well she does do, long-term. She may well surprise a lot of people before this is done. Good there is, still, a thread for her, again In other words, Damali is very good & capable, I'm rooting for her & reckon she will do well. At least the forum is, still, live and our acc'ts intact. Must look for the bright side whilst, pining a bit.

Yes, whether it's our thread or others, it's terrible for this to happen. Being an IT Pro, myself... the chances of data being, actually, gone, are slim. The threads are inaccessible, presently, as if locked... but, that does not, necessarily, mean the files are gone. Anyway, still, hoping for a happy ending. It was said that my hunch of IDF having been hacked was wrong so, maybe it's a server issue. Anyway, that will things will be ok again, soon.

yes, I realised that... after a bit. Do we know if it's all lost forever or not? Is there any real hope for recovery?

Oh my, THANKS be to all the computer gods & goddesses What a relief

Well, this 1 is unlocked, now. It's a start in the right direction, at least.
