The low notes + the range. Trace has a big range (and a gorgeous voice at that). That said, I suspect you're right about the audience. Jake doesn't really do much for me, he isn't the vocalist that say a Sundance was, and I don't think he sells the story, or connects to it as well as even a Red or Chris K. It amuses me how much this board likes him, I suspect if he was on team Blake they'd be calling him out as a generic one octave country singer (which he is).

Lol, Jake ain't hitting the Trace notes

Rose's preview sounds gorgeous

In season 11 Blake only had one member of the top 8. Contestants do matter, even on team Blake. And yeah the Cali thing also seems to be down to how loudly she discussed her wife

Rickie is sick. Posted from Dr's yesterday, and did an IG story saying he wasn't 100% just now.

I mean last week's song got her out of the bottom 3 despite being a coaches save, so I'd say it worked out pretty well despite IDF disliking it. Also last week Kat said her song was fun...and then sang Danny boy

Apparently Blake paid for cars, studio time, and apartments for his season 1 contestants. 200 contestants later, it's probably good he pulled back a little. lol

The dislike on this board to Myracle is sort of odd? She's very solid vocally, she's had some interesting song choices. I'm not sure why the dislike? Anyways, after hearing her on the one Lizzo song, I'd love to hear her on another, or some Lauryn Hill

lowkey I think overall Gwen's team has the best singers. They're all technically good. I'm just not sure any of them are interesting artistically.

Blake's twitter fans are still pissed at him for saving Cali and not Gracee. And I mean on a certain level, maybe you should have voted her through then?

I'm surprised Joana isn't connecting better with voters tbh. She's young, cute, and she's actually a very good live singer

Your general reminder that the choices usually get worse once America starts voting.

Interesting that two coach saves made it over two members of their team who got more votes last week.

Shane going through is the flop of the night

They hit the Cali GF angle so hard this week, I wonder if it alienated some of Blake's base

Myracle was saved! wow.. That's the first real shock. Good for her

I think you consistently assume Gwen has way more control over these choices than she does

wtf with this song choice

Um they don't evne call Hoot, and Hello Sunday is safe. Myracle and Joanna are screwed

Hoot as most streamed, gross

pretty sure Gwen's, and I would think one other.

Oooh, actual spoilers? That would be nice

Katie has more experience than Rose, and it shows sometimes..but I prefer Rose. They're both vocally very talented.

I find John/the producers decision to move her out of country to be a bit baffling, but whatever. (btw in a live this past week with Kat, she confirmed Blake had been her top choice)

The vocal suffered from the emotion, but sometimes that works, and makes a song more powerful. This was one of those times.
