his left hand only does one move lmao

Although side note, I hate both of these songs lol.

Mike's a stronger singer/performer than Darious, but he's sounding tragic in this rehearsal. I would've thought Mike had the advantage over Darious, but maybe it'll end up being the other way with this KO.

They uploaded Joei and Levi's KO together as one video... yikes.

I know they've kept the leaked KO's like this since last season, but now it seems like they might be uploading all of the KO's together...

Megan isn't country???

I think both her and Samantha told Kelly that they didn't consider themselves country artists (even though they both have the voice/twang for it...)

Who is Kelly kidding with "strategy"...she went with her because she is country.

Thought she said she wasn't country?

Megan and CammWess both gave their strongest performances so far for sure.

Both deserve to go through, although I lean in favor of Megan here.

Well done both!

Tuned in just in time for CammWess (kinda bummed I missed Joei but w/e)

I enjoyed the leak, although some of the runs still felt a bit unnecessary. Overall a very strong performance that I think warrants him going through.

They could’ve just made the 4-way KO air on the 27th for half an hour and continue with the recap (that way we could avoid montages next week too lol)

but oh well.

It’s annoying but reasonable. Hope they can pick up with the show the following week, however.

It's easy to make this an "everyone I hated in the top 12" thread, so I'll just leave one or two for who I genuinely thought were the worst contestants of each. (If I put two it's because it took me more than 5 seconds to decide lol)

S17: Shane Q (easily)

S16: Celia Babini

S15: Tyke James; Reagan Strange

S14: Kaleb Lee; Rayshunn Lamarr (not a bad top 12... but Kaleb was the weakest and Rayshunn was mostly a mess)

S13: Red Marlow; Ashland Craft (neither were absolutely dreadful... but neither deserved their top 12 spots)

S12: Mark Isaiah

S11: Austin Allsup; Courtney Harrell (a lot of contestants can almost tie here... but Austin was bad AND not remotely interesting and Courtney was shockingly an embarrassing mess)

S10: Nick Hagelin (...AND I TYPED THAT WITHOUT ANY HESITATION)

S9: Braiden Sunshine (same as Nick Hagelin)

S8: Brian Johnson (so painfully forgettable)

S7: Reagan James

S6: Jake Worthington

S5: Austin Jenckes (same as Brian Johnson)

S4: VEDO

S3: Adriana Louise

Blake got so much praise when he turned for Kendra, Lili and Cecily (who were all great, dont get me wrong), but eliminated all of them right away. We all joke about it but Kelly is the only one who takes one chair turns seriously at this point

Seriously though! Kendra, LiLi, and Cecily were all phenomenal one chairs who should've gone further! (didn't list em because Kendra got stolen, LiLi's wasn't aired so I can't judge, even with that tragic song choice, and Cecily/Selkii felt pretty even although I prefer Cecily overall).

Seeing a lot of these threads today so might as well add another...

Long story short, who are some contestants that you feel got eliminated unfairly in battles (meaning no steal or save)?

Specifically, who got robbed of a spot in the next round despite being better than their battle opponent?

Not meaning they deserved a steal, not meaning it was "dead even"... meaning they were better and deserved the win, period.

My thoughts:

S18: N/A (Although Kailey Abel would be close... that song just did nothing for either of them)

S17: Josie Jones, Injoy Fountain, Mendeleyev (imo they all did better than Kat, Alex, and Preston)

S15: Erika Zade, Emily Hough (better than Sarah or Reagan - I would've supported a steal/save for Sarah though) 

S13: Ignatious Carmouche (thought he was much better than Eric)

S10: Mike Schiavo (deserved the win more than Caroline)

S9: Lyndsey Elm (Self-explanatory)

S7: Maiya Sykes, Amanda Lee Peers (Maiya ofc; Amanda >>>> TJW and I will die on this hill.)

S6: ROUND 2: Ddendyl, Clarissa Serna (Ddendyl > Deja, but Clarissa Serna's one of the worst robberies on the show's history.)

S3: Jordan Pruitt (one of the first real unfair wins I saw in this show was Adriana Louise's... but the battle was pretty awful to begin with)

I wonder why some of the spoilers are unconfirmed like tate/Roderick, anaya/mandi and jon/arei while others are sure and confirmed like Allegra over Jacob and Micah over Tayler. 

We only got a source that attended the first taping.

We didn't get a source from the remaining 5 pairings at the second taping (Tate/Roderick, Mandi/Anaya, Arei/Jon, and Darious/Mike.)

We received the result of Todd T./Cam from another source who's been giving accurate info throughout the season, but they wouldn't share anything else.

1. Michelle Chamuel

2. Lauren Duski

3. Addison Agen

4. Ricky Duran

5. Jacquie Lee

6. Meghan Linsey

7. Britton Buchanan

8. Juliet Simms

9. Matt McAndrew

10. Dia Frampton

Personal Taste:

Kelly:

Micah > Tayler > Megan > Samantha > CammWess > Anaya > Mandi 

Nick:

Allegra > Arei > Jon > Roderick > Tate > Jacob > Michael

John:
Zan > Thunderstorm > Joanna > Mandi > Mike > Darious > Nelson

Blake:

Todd T > Cedrice > Joei > Toneisha > TMH > Cam > Levi

The first person in each row is who I think is the best, and the ones I bolded/underlined the people I genuinely want to go through. (Just underlined are people I'd like to see go through, but am not overly attached to. You can guess how I feel about the names that are crossed out.)

Should probably note that Toneisha can outsing pretty much anyone else on Team Blake so maybe I should've put her in front, but I'm rooting for a couple others over her first.

Looking at the song choices for Darious vs Mike makes me think Darious could actually win. It would be weird of John to let go of yet another four chair turn. However (not counting Nelson) if Darious lost his knockout, it'd mean they gave John no frontrunners in the premiere week, which would be kinda odd, right?

Odd but not unprecedented.

Looking back on Wiki, last time a coach had no contestants that made it to the live playoffs in the premiere was Team Adam S13 (Dave Crosby, Brandon Showell, Dylan Gerard). No one on Kelly's S16 team (Karen Galera, Rizzi Myers, The Bundys) made it to the playoffs, but we had the inexplicably awful cross battles that Karen + The Bundys participated in so that definitely interfered as well.

That does seem likelier than thunderstorm vs mandi because of the flub and upset, but both toneisha and Cedrice have been leaked. If cedrices battle wasn’t leaked, I wouldn’t be shocked to see toneisha leaked again but I just don’t see them leaking both of them again when Allegra hasn’t been leaked at all yet and they’re pushing for nick

Yeah, I'm thinking Allegra/Jacob will be the leak, if there is one.

That, or they'll leak one of the 4-way KO performances to hype up the audience for the vote - in fact, that's the smart thing to do to remind people to tune in.

Not sure how they'd go about that, however. Whoever would get leaked in that situation would likely get the vote...

By the way, this is how The Voice Switzerland handled their live finale in light of COVID:

They haven’t confirmed that it’s one PV plus coach save yet. 

True, and beyond that, I don’t think a Mandi save is 100%. I think if anything, John’s gonna try to push Zan through with a save if she doesn’t get the PV.

That being said, I feel the PV could come from anyone on his team at this rate tbh. Hard to predict. 

Well done by Megan and CammWess! Easily their best performances thus far.

I think I’d have to lean Megan here, but John has a contender with CammWess now.

I can imagine that him stealing Camm had something to do with him being willing to let Thunderstorm go. Two different styles, but Camm gave a performance I would’ve expected from Thunderstorm.

But Megan wasn't stolen at all, and her battle partner, Samantha, only got one steal. Furthermore, CammWess got only one steal. In fact, this season, there have been no double steals....

Actually, CammWess is a double steal in KO's.

I agree, on top of them being the only steal pairing to not involve a previous leak, the double steal will help them get leaked. I'd be shocked if it were anyone else.

TEAM KELLY

Megan Danielle (Piece by Piece - Kelly Clarkson) vs. Cammwess (Say Something - A Great Big World) - STOLEN BY JOHN (Nick tried stealing as well)

-Cam got a standing ovation; both were very emotional

Anyone know if Mandi T. won her knockout against Anaya?

Nothing's confirmed for that pairing yet.

The pairings with unconfirmed results are:

Mandi Thomas/Anaya Cheyenne (Kelly)

Tate Brusa/Roderick Chambers (Nick)

Arei Moon/Jon Mullins (Nick)

Mike Jerel/Darious Lyles (John)

Todd Tilghman/Cam Spinks was also technically unconfirmed, but a reliable source reached out and confirmed that Todd won.

I was about to post that Joana should sing some John Prine, and then I remembered that she already was (Angel from Montgomery), I was already looking forward to that performance and it will be extra poignant now. Lost another legend today

I was gonna share MJ's post from last week where they asked about artists performing songs a week after an artist died! If Joanna airs Monday, then I guess we'll add her to that list.
