They're still tryna get us to win tickets to a live show with COVID huh...

Micah was better, Gigi was a bit pitchy.

I detest this song and Señorita equally so it's not exactly a fun hour for me lol.

Jacob did really well.

But he went up against Toneisha so...

Hi guys! Just wanted to say that I joined the community and that I've been watching the Voice since Season 4 and have followed Idol Forums since Season 12. Can't wait to interact with you all!

 

My favorites are Anaya, Thunderstorm, and Cedrice. Super annoyed about Thunderstorm and Cedrice being paired, but I'm glad she was stolen

Welcome!

The battles ended last night on La Voz.

Julio Cesar Castillo (S3) and Karen Galera (S16) both won their battles!

Karen Galera vs. Diana Chiriboga - Good As Hell

Julio Cesar Castillo vs. Ninfa Molina - Miedo

According to some audience members of the tapings. Jacob gets stolen by Nick and Kelly. He picks Nick. 

If it's a Youtube comment, not buying it.

Technically it's still a possibility because the Jon steal is some very heavy speculation, but there's not really any proof there otherwise.

By the time they need to make a decision, and possibly have the contestants travel, new daily cases should be on the decline, since most people are cooped up in their homes right now. On the other hand, the hospitalizations and deaths will be likely be spiking shortly before that. The average time between onset of symptoms and death is reportedly about 14 days. If you think the media coverage is negative now, just wait. It’s going to get ugly.  None of us have a crystal ball, but I’m leaning towards delaying the lives for a few weeks. I don’t think they’ll cancel it entirely. 

I imagine it'll just be delayed.

AGT is what replaces The Voice's timeslot during the summer, but AGT suspended production and they're barely in the audition phase. AGT is definitely in bigger danger of being cancelled entirely if they can't pick up production before May - which I'm really confident they won't.

When do they normally start the first parts of the audition process for the next season?

The contestants for the fall season typically fly into LA the first week of June and the auditions tape within the last week or two of June.

COVID is definitely gonna affect that somehow, just not sure to what extent.

Is it possible that Nick stole JDM? Kinda weird for them to only show 2 save/steal in the second episode and 3 on the last. Usually they left the least number of save/steal for the last episode considering they need more time for 2 montages and also preview for KO.

Technically it's still a possibility, but with Jon in LA the day after his battle taped, it's not really likely.

Honestly I can see many of these being montaged 

 

Arei vs Samuel

Tayler vs Jules

Mandi vs Sara

Zan vs Brittney

 

Or...What if we are getting montages this week but they just didn’t show them? I remember that happening with Brooke vs Damali last season...where they weren’t shown in the battle pairing preview.

I could've sworn there was footage somewhere of Damali/Brooke last season but I don't remember where it was? It was in rehearsal.

This one from last season does have Gracee/Brennan in it though. So I think it is possible we'll get one of Kelly's shortclipped on Monday as well.

Also, I'd say Jacob/Kevin is a more likely montage candidate than Arei/Samuel because Jacob does get eliminated in the next round (but we don't know about Arei...)

Battle pairings for Monday:

Blake: Toneisha Harris vs. Jacob Daniel Murphy

Kelly: Micah Iverson vs. Gigi Hess

John: Mandi Castillo vs. CammWess

Nick: Tate Brusa vs. Anders Drerup

Blake: Cam Spinks vs. Kailey Abel

John: Nelson Cade III vs. Darious Lyles

Looks like we're getting Nelson/Darious as John's save.

Which means final week we're getting:

Tayler Green vs. Jules

Mandi Thomas vs. Sara Collins

Megan Danielle vs. Samantha Howell

Arei Moon vs. Samuel Wilco

Jacob Miller vs. Kevin Farris

Zan Fiskum vs. Brittney Allen

Thunderstorm Artis vs. Cedrice

Todd Tilghman vs. Jon Mullins

Wow, I felt the exact opposite. This was 100% Jacob’s element, but Toneisha’s superior vocals covered for her fact that she wouldn’t ever choose a song like this in a million years.

Gotta agree with this. This song choice leans more Jacob imo, but it's not too far outside of what I think Toneisha would do. And obviously her vocals made the choice really easy, but I was pleased with JDM's vocals here as well. I feel like a steal or save could've been justified for JDM.

Since it was introduced in Season 5, there have been 19 double stolen contestants. Most of them were eliminated in the live playoff rounds that followed knockouts.

Only 7 of these contestants have made it past live playoffs, and only 2 of them have made the finale (Craig Wayne Boyd and Will Champlin)

~I didn't include saves here since they never technically changed a team after KO's~

S17: None

S16:

Kendra Checketts (Blake -> Adam -> Blake) - Live Playoffs

Betsy Ade (John -> Kelly -> Adam) - Live Playoffs

Rod Stokes (Blake -> Adam -> Kelly) - Semifinals (middle 3)

S15:

Keith Paluso (Blake -> Adam -> Kelly) - Live Playoffs

Natasia GreyCloud (JHud -> Kelly -> Blake) - Live Playoffs

Colton Smith (JHud -> Blake -> JHud) - Live Playoffs

S14:

Jackie Foster (Kelly -> Adam -> Alicia) - Semifinals (bottom 2)

Dylan Hartigan (Kelly -> Blake -> Kelly) - Live Playoffs

S13: None

S12: None

S11:

Jason Warrior (Alicia -> Adam -> Blake - Live Playoffs

Josh Halverson (Alicia -> Miley -> Alicia) - Live Playoffs

S10:

Shalyah Fearing (Christina -> Pharrell -> Adam) - Semifinals (bottom 2)

Lacy Mandigo (Christina -> Blake -> Pharrell) - Live Playoffs

S9:

Morgan Frazier (Blake -> Pharrell -> Blake) - Live Playoffs

Riley Biederer (Pharrell -> Gwen -> Pharrell) - Live Playoffs

S8:

Hannah Kirby (Blake -> Pharrell -> Blake) - Top 8 (not semifinals this season)

S7:

Craig Wayne Boyd (Blake -> Gwen -> Blake) - WINNER

Will Champlin (Adam -> Christina -> Adam) - THIRD PLACE

Stephanie Anne Johnson (Christina -> CeeLo -> Christina) - Live Playoffs

I’m placing my bets on Mandi vs Cammwess 

The past 3 spring seasons, the second battles episode leak has been a non-steal/save

S12: Chris Blue/RJ Collins

S14: Reid Umstattd/Davison

S16: Presley Tennant/Rizzi Myers

I'm pretty confident that's just a coincidence, but I'd love to see them continue a pattern that they already have set lol.

Plus I can definitely wait on hearing Mandi/Cammwess if they did get Señorita

1. Todd (Blake, plus highest potential to give a good quality performance of the rest. Especially with a good, nostalgic song choice to please the viewers)

2. Samantha (higher chances if she does something country-ish)

3. Nelson if it's him (better than the rest)

4. Brittney/Darious (long shots)

5. Michael (he had an interesting battle but that's because of Allegra, not him)

Ouch.

The Jamal/Levi bond is actually kind of adorable lol

Just now, FloorWax said:

We're really getting Levi vs Jamal next 

Fitting that the coaches were just saying sucktacular then. 

Yeah, Zach's letting me down hard, but neither sound really good here. Tired song choice.

I'm anticipating a Mike victory.

Tuned in just in time to hear the last 10 seconds of the song and they sounded pretty okay.

Seems like the rest of the song was a bit inconsistent according to y'all?

Megan’s audition gave me a good feeling. She seems capable of a lot more.

I think she's got potential, but Remedy was not a great song for her audition. I also struggle to see how Kelly decided to pair her with Samantha after hearing both their auditions.

If Zach was in the hotel during Knockout taping maybe he won this battle and Mike is eliminated?

Seems like this is the post I was referring to, posted on 1/26. It's definitely the hotel room. Not sure if it was taken that day or sometime earlier in the process, but if it was taken that day then yes, he would've had to have made the KO's as either the battle winner or coach save.

I remember I  had Zach highlighted as a no-chair turner for some reason before that, which is why I made that post initially.

Oof imagine being outsung by your student.

This was the last thing I read before turning off my phone and falling asleep last night, but I woke up sick and had to call out of work so I'm gonna just assume there's some correlation there and thank you for the laugh and getting me out of work for the day.

But we don't John's save yet, right? It may be Zach. We'll see soon.

Yeah, but given that we know two save/steals from the episode already (TMH and Joanna), we'll likely only have a third one. For all we know, it could've been Anaya/Chelle as well and we lose both Michael and Mike/Zach.

The idea of Michael getting a second shot and Zach not getting one though:

Is the order of the battles in this video the same order they're gonna be aired? That would mean Allegra vs Michael resulted in a save.

It's possible, but I don't remember if last season they were in the same order as aired.

But also that would mean Zach likely goes home
