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 S6: Tess Boyer (Usher -> Blake -> Shakira) - Top 10 S5: Will Champlin (Adam -> Christina -> Adam) - THIRD PLACE Stephanie Anne Johnson (Christina -> CeeLo -> Christina) - Live Playoffs

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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:

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

I'm guessing they're doing the Sam Smith version. In the bit we saw of their performance in their video, they're standing still. Don't think many people stand still to the original version of the song.

I believe it was recorded at the end of the second taping (7 KO's at the first taping, leaving 5 for the second taping + 4 more performances, which is the length of 2 KO's) The winner will be voted on by the public but they'll be voting on pretaped performances.

Presumably 3. Blake: Joei Fulco vs. Todd Michael Hall - The Best (Tina Turner) - Todd saved by Blake Blake: Levi Watkins vs. Jamal Corrie - Counting Stars (OneRepublic) Kelly: Anaya Cheyenne vs. Chelle - Scared to be Lonely (Dua Lipa) John: Mike Jerel vs. Zach Day - Adorn (Miguel) Nick: Roderick Chambers vs. Joanna Serenko - When the Party's Over (Billie Eilish) - Joanna stolen by John Nick: Allegra Miles vs. Michael Williams - How Will I Know (Whitney Houston) A lot will be cleared up Monday, thankfully! -Kelly's remaining pairing is Megan/Samantha by default, so if Anaya/Chelle doesn't end in a save then we know that Samantha is Kelly's save for the season. -John's remaining pairing is Zan/Brittney by default, so if Mike/Zach doesn't end in a save then his save is either Brittney Allen or the loser of Nelson/Darious -We'll get either Nick or John's save (loser of Mike/Zach for John or Michael for Nick) -If Michael is not Nick's save, then his save is Anders Drerup

Joanna lost the battle, but was stolen by John. Joanna then loses her knockout on Team John, but gets stolen by Blake. We don't know the results of Roderick's knockout yet.

Even battle. I give points to Roderick because the song's definitely out of his wheelhouse. While I'd personally pick Joanna, I think Roderick's win is deserved here and I'm glad Joanna was stolen (I wouldn't have blamed the coaches for stealing Roderick if it were the other way around).

Thunderstorm/Cedrice is the last battle with a steal or save, so unless they want to mess with the editing and make one of the saves the final battle aired, they'll likely be the last battle that gets aired.

Really though, unless someone tries to do the original upbeat version, I don't wanna hear this ever again.

1. Team Legend - Strong contenders throughout with only a couple artists that are just "okay." The only team I can say that every artist deserved a chair turn. 2. Team Blake - Strong contenders as well, but a few artists that are genuinely weak and shouldn't have been chair turns. 3. Team Kelly - No strong contenders in my opinion, but a lot of them feel middle of the pack with only a few people who shouldn't have turned chairs. 4. Team Nick - One strong contender, some middle of the pack, and a lot of fodder or people who didn't deserve a chair turn.

Hunter & Jack and Jeffery's were the only 2 versions that did anything for me. Britton and Paxton are forgettable. I remember disliking Reagan's and even as the sentimental choice for Adam, it was absurd that he chose Reagan over RADHA. Brittney's is fine, but I only remember it because it was literally yesterday.

Technically, yes, they're still all possibilities. But if Jon was still able to have breakfast with the rest of the team on day 2 of battles, that means he had to move on to KO's. There's no other place for Jon to go other than being Nick's steal.

Team Kelly: Mandi Thomas vs. Sara Collins - My Baby Loves Me (Martina McBride) Micah Iverson vs. Gigi Hess - TBA (Lewis Capaldi) Tayler Green vs. Jules - Water Under the Bridge (Adele) Megan Danielle vs. TBA TBA: Anaya Cheyenne, Chelle, Samantha Howell -There's some evidence of Anaya and Samantha both being in LA/at the hotel after battles, so it's likely that one of them won their respective battle and the other is Kelly's save. Team Nick: Allegra Miles vs. Michael Williams - TBA Arei Moon vs. Samuel Wilco - TBA Jacob Miller vs. Kevin Farris - Lights Up (Harry Styles) Roderick Chambers vs. Joanna Serenko - When the Party's Over (Billie Eilish) - Joanna stolen by John Tate Brusa vs. Anders Drerup - TBA -Allegra/Michael is a default pairing because everyone else is confirmed. Either Michael or Anders is Nick's save. Team John: Darious Lyles vs. Nelson Cade III - TBA Mandi Castillo vs. CammWess - TBA - CammWess stolen by Kelly Thunderstorm Artis vs. Cedrice - Stay (Rihanna) - Cedrice stolen by Blake Zan Fiskum vs. TBA TBA: Brittney Allen, Mike Jerel, Zach Day -Darious/Nelson's result is unknown, but the loser is still a candidate for John's save. -Candidates for John's save are: Brittney Allen, Darious Lyles, Mike Jerel, Nelson Cade III, Zach Day - 2 of these are battle winners (1 from Darious/Nelson) and 2 of these contestants are sent home without a save. -Given some speculation from earlier in the season, Mandi & CammWess' song was possibly Señorita (Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello) Team Blake: Cam Spinks vs. Kailey Abel - TBA Joei Fulco vs Todd Michael Hall - TBA - Todd is saved by Blake Levi Watkins vs. Jamal Corrie - Counting Stars (OneRepublic) Todd Tilghman vs. Jon Mullins - TBA Toneisha Harris vs. Jacob Daniel Murphy - TBA -Jon Mullins is heavily speculated to be Nick's steal.
