  1. I’ve heard there’s a general list of names for S18 so far, how much info do we have? (@Someone lol)

    There's a list of names but I'm so behind on it. I think by this time last year I'd posted the names for S16, but that's definitely not happening this year. New job's taken up a lot of my free time and there's been some fantastic people who've helped gather the names (who I'd love to shout out but won't b/c anonymity and whatnot) but I'll definitely try to complete that list by New Years' and get it up.

     

    The bumming news is that I got no spoilers from auditions this season so we're gonna have to wait until battles for anything concrete. :/

  2. I have a genuine question for people who think Kat got robbed/unfairly treated/etc:

     

    During what round did it appear that Kat performed in a manner that warranted her being treated "better" than Ricky. I agree, Blake demonstrated much more enthusiasm when talking about Kat than with Ricky (although I don't think he at all downplayed his love for Ricky), so that definitely bolstered her votes. Each week though, Ricky performed better than Kat and thus, the producers gave him better slots than many other contestants. I think besides the Shania song as a potential bus (just because it was so risky), Kat's failure to get into the finale is a combination of her competing on a tough season, and simply never really giving a performance that stood out or warranted her being given one of the slots in the second hour by the producers.

     

    She never hit the bottom once, so I don't think any song choice or performance slot at all counted as throwing her under the bus. The producers simply saw no reason to give her a more memorable placement because she didn't stand out or earn the better placement. At least that's what I see from her situation.

     

    I know this comes from someone who's stated that they're not a Kat fan, so I'll say this: I don't think a single one of Kat's performances was awful or anything. My position on Kat is that she never did anything to elevate her performances or do anything special. She gave solid, boring 7's throughout her run, while Ricky consistently gave solid 8's and 9's that showed skill, range, and were simply more interesting.

  3. Have you ever noticed that some people will try to convince everyone that their snowflake has a great song, when it’s obvious to everyone else that the song choice sucks?

     

    It happens the other way too. Rival snowflake gets a good song, right in their wheelhouse, and half of IDF trips over themselves trying to shoot it down. They do it again after rival snowflake performs the song well on the show, often inventing things to critique, while ignoring the flaws in their own snowflake’s performance.

    I wonder what those gifs would look like? :haha:

    Jake Hoot or other designated yeehaw gets another song I've never heard of for the second or third week in a row:

  4. No, everyone announced so far is there for their own promotion. The press release spells out what they are singing. The celebrity duet partners haven’t been announced yet.

    Oh, that's my mistake! Thanks for the heads up. :thumbs:

     

    Still holding out hope for a JHud duet in addition to Memory o:)

  5. Maelyn :wub:

     

    Although curious to how the duets will work.

     

    Rose deserves JHud but they'll probably stick her with Black Eyed Peas.

     

    Luke x Jake is the clearest pick there, but Lady Antebellum x Katie doesn't seem appropriate, neither does Rose or Ricky there.

    Maybe they're waiting on an additional announcement for them or something?

  6. I've watched since season 1 but didn't start thoroughly watching/stanning until S3, started looking through IDF in S7, and didn't join until S9.

     

    Bolded are people in my all-time faves.

    (And in general, these names are just the people I looked forward to the most each week they were on/were very disappointed when they left.)

     

    S1: Casey Weston, Vicci Martinez (didn't really stan either, but they were my clear favorites)

    S2: Jamar Rogers, Charlotte Sometimes

    S3: Amanda Brown, Cassadee Pope

    S4: Sarah Simmons, Sasha Allen, Michelle Chamuel, Caroline Glaser

    S5: Kat Robichaud, Jonny Gray, Matthew Schuler, Preston Pohl

    S6: Clarissa Serna, Kat Perkins

    S7: Troy Ritchie, Taylor Phelan

    S8: Kimberly Nichole, Mia Z, Hannah Kirby, Meghan Linsey

    S9: Amy Vachal, Ellie Lawrence, Madi Davis

    S10: Laith Al-Saadi, Hannah Huston

    S11: Dana Harper (but really bad season overall)

    S12: Hunter Plake, Vanessa Ferguson, Lauren Duski, Lilli Passero, Stephanie Rice

    S13: Noah Mac, Karli Webster, Chloe Kohanski, Janice Freeman, Addison Agen, Moriah Formica

    S14: WILKES, Kyla Jade, Johnny Bliss, Reid Umstattd, Kelsea Johnson

    S15: Makenzie Thomas, SandyRedd, Kennedy Holmes

    S16: Maelyn Jarmon, Domenic Haynes, Kendra Checketts

    S17: Will Breman, Ricky Duran, Katie Kadan, Rose Short, Myracle Holloway (any of these can earn the bolded status easily, really. Best season overall in the past few years.)

  7. It’s an open secret that a relatively large percentage of Voice contestants have NO interest in winning. Noah hit his limit by the semi-final. He’s spoken about it publicly. He was ready to leave.

     

    They kept trying to get him to sing boy band songs and he wanted no part of it.

    I'm aware, but if he'd gotten through instead of Red (which he was totally capable of doing), it would've been the absolute perfect finale. :wub:

  8. I mean if they pimped Ali and Hunter more they could have had it in season 11 and 12 as well.

     

    Pimping Ali - Wtf with the performance slot? have her perform in the second hour, and in the instant save, GIVE HER THE LAST PERFORMING SLOT.

    Result - Ali gets PV, We gets IS, or Ali gets IS.

    Pimping Hunter - Switch Aliyah's and Hunter's performance slot, if he is still in the instant save, then oh well.

    Result - Hunter gets PV, Jesse still gets IS.

     

    If Aliyah still got the PV in season 12 then oh well, but Hunter was close to that PV so pimping him could have sent him through.

    Noah in S13 too if he’d sent out a tweet. He would’ve been in over Red easily but he never sent out a tweet.

  9. I genuinely can't pick between Katie, Rose, and Ricky.

    At the beginning it was Katie for me, but Ricky soon caught my attention and after her last few performances, Rose has definitely become a favorite of mine as well. I lean Ricky in terms of who I would most likely listen to after the show, Katie in terms of most fascinating run, and Rose in terms of most diverse run (plus, I'd love a Gwen win). Each of these 3 have delivered at least 1 performance that I'd easily rank in my all-time favorites, including lives - which I rarely find "all-time favorites" from.

     

    Truthfully, even though I won't be supporting Jake and I'll still be complaining about him throughout the coming week and well after, he's not actually bad, just uninteresting to me. At least he's more deserving and definitely not as irritating as some of the previous country finalists that we've had in the past though (See: Red Marlow, the S16 Yeehaw Finale Trio)

     

    Easily the strongest finale since S13. :thumbs:

  10. Unbelievably proud of our boi in blue. <3

     

    Congrats on a well fought battle, Will! You stayed 100% yourself and represented your community and the West Coast phenomenally! Can't wait to see what's in store for you in the future!

     

    (and in case I ever drive up to SB, save a seat for a stranger with a twenty one pilots avatar near the front, please :thumbs: )
