Chance might be my least favorite coach in the history of the show. But yeah, Kala did not deserve to be treated like fodder by everyone this season. Looking at the spoiler thread, I had no idea that she was going to be one of my favorite contestants this season, but she kept on delivering and is now on my list of the most robbed playoff contestants of all time for me

NOIVAS - Come Together - 9 Kala Banham - My Funny Valentine - 10 Rachel Christine - The Only Exception - 7 Jamar Langley - The Thrill Is Gone - 8 Grace West - Love Is Alive - 8 Manasseh Samone - Speak the Name - 5 Kylee Dayne - Flowers - 4 Ray Uriel - Essence - 7 Mary Kate Connor - If I Die Young - 6 Sorelle - Something's Got a Hold on Me - 8

Holly winning! Also, T6 is spot on

I remember how much I wanted Omar in the finale that season, and there’s a chance that Kala would have been in the finale if it were up to me as well.

My thoughts on some playoff contestants Moriah Formica- A teenage rock girl with lots of power and range is a type of contestant I love, which is why I liked her more than most people here. It’s a bummer she got cut in playoffs, she could have been great in Lives with her experience performing Live at a young age Emily Luther- Very solid contestant. GITA was one of my favorite Knockouts of the season and I also liked her Blind and Playoff. Would have been deserving of T12 but I didn’t know who I would switch out Chris Weaver- Very strong performances (audition and KO are quite memorable years later). I preferred him over Shi’Ann but I preferred Davon over him in Prelives rounds. It was cool to see him perform in drag in finale and leave minivan shook Karli Webster- Great indie contestant. Love her audition and battle performances. Couldn’t enjoy her KO as much due to Alisan. Her PO was also decent but that team was stacked Mitchell Lee- Very similar to Barrett Baber. Enjoyed his battle but didn’t love his other performances that much Hannah Mrozak- Loved her KO of LOTB, but none of her other performances stood out to me (her audition was pretty good though) Lucas Holliday- Not a huge fan of his performances, but I enjoy his playoff ironically because I found it hilarious. Seriously, go watch it if you haven’t already Esera Tuaolo- Not a huge fan of his performances but his playoff was terrible, and got an F from Charlie Mason. It was cool to see an NFL player on the show though

I agree with a lot of these choices and reasonings. Jamar might have actually been my second favorite on Team Chance. That performance was surprising, especially considering he wasn’t one of the people picked. Neither of Chance’s picks were really my thing

It seems like Omar is friends with Kala Banham, since he went on her Live and I think they also were on a panel together. I’m happy to see this from 2 of my favorites in consecutive seasons

Happy birthday Holly! 23 years old!

I agree that Jamar was better. I enjoyed his arrangement, and this may have been my favorite of his performances

My thoughts on Season 13 Top 12 Addison Agen- Didn’t care for her prelives, liked her in Lives (she didn’t have my favorite performance of a round, but she was usually T3). Of the Top 2, Chloe had the higher highs, but Addison was more consistent Brooke Simpson- My favorite finalist that season. Loved her audition, battle, T10 and SF in particular. Love powerhouses like her on the show, and she had many great performances. Glad to see that she got 4th on AGT as well. Red Marlow- Didn’t like him. I found him really boring as he took no risks and had a very limited vocal range. His performances wasn’t terrible, but I found most of them meh. A contender for my least favorite finalist of all time Noah Mac- One of my favorites that season. I appreciated his creative style, and that he sang a lot of more obscure modern songs. He had a few duds but I loved his Blind, KO, T11 and SF. It’s a shame he sabotaged himself in the save because I would have much rather seen him in the finale than Red Adam Cunningham- Enjoyed him in prelives, but he had some duds in Lives. Adam picked some bad songs for him in early rounds, but he did better when he picked his own songs more. Keisha Renee- Great vocalist. I enjoyed her run, but I wasn’t a huge fan of her going country. Enjoyed her Blind, Battle, PO and T10 the most out of her performances. Davon Fleming- His prelives were amazing (His Blind, KO, PO were all one of my favorite performances of those rounds) but he wasn’t the same in Lives, since I didn’t like the diva direction he went. Ashland Craft- Enjoyed her audition, but she was meh after that. Miley was too obsessed with trying to win with a country artist. She should not have been in the T12 over Moriah in my opinion. Shi’Ann Jones- I didn’t think she was ready for the show back then. I didn’t like her tone, particularly the cracks on the high notes, and she overdid the runs as well. Didn’t like many of her performances. Janice Freeman- A great powerhouse contestant. T12 was my favorite from her, but her Battle, KO and PO were also really good. She was eliminated too early on the show, and she left this world too soon. RIP Jon Mero- Enjoyed his audition, but his later performances didn’t stick out as much. He’s not my least favorite T12 contestant, but he’s probably the most forgettable nowadays

The good things about Season 13- Lots of talent in the Playoffs and Top 12. The Final 3 was really good and all of them plus a few other contestants would have been acceptable winners. Different contestants shined each week and no contestant dominated. IDF was very split this season, since many contestants had a fanbase here. We didn’t have three people carrying the Lives like in other seasons. The bad things about Season 13- Auditions were inconsistent (The premiere was weak and a few other auditions in later weeks didn’t deserve a chair). Miley advanced Ashland too far into the competition, and kept her over Chloe in Knockouts and Moriah in playoffs. Red Marlow made finale (If only Noah didn’t sabotage himself). I’m going to give my opinions on contestants later

My thoughts -I preferred NOIVAS to Ray, but it seemed more like the producers wanted to move NOIVAS to Team Blake than Ray outperforming him -Chance may have tried to steal good people, but you know who he never tried to steal? Allie Keck. I thought she would have been a great choice for a steal -NariYella and Ray gave similar quality performances, but I preferred NariYella’s previous performances to Ray’s, and in close decisions I like to factor that in -Sorelle, Ray and Jamar all gave decent performances, but none of them were at the level of Kala for me. Not to mention, I preferred her previous performances to any of theirs

The robbed one

I liked Ross on this performance, so I disagree with him being this low Unfortunately, the Knockouts do not get better this season. Not a ton of people gave great performances

Don’t get me started on that. Eliminated another favorite of mine early

No complaints with your #1, considering she might be my favorite this season

So these are your combined rankings of all of the people still in on both shows. I don’t think I would be able to argue with these specific choices. It also seems like the worst contestants on Idol are worse than the worst contestants on The Voice most of the time

I’m guessing 2 of them are on Team Chance, since I know you don’t like Sorelle. Who are the 3 artists on Idol you don’t like

NariYella being at Number 1 is acceptable. One of my Top 10 auditions of the season and a worthy 4 chair turn. I probably would have watched it more if it wasn’t in the last episode (I usually loop the auditions from earlier episodes more, and being so late in the order gives me less time before the battles start)

Charlie grades well this episode. I liked Jamar this round more than expected. Also, I’m glad he recognized the greatness of Kala. Not to mention, I agree with the grading order for both teams.

Yeah, I felt that Wé and Megan have both been better vocally this season. I wasn’t really wowed by Marybeth this Idol season like in her Voice Audition.

Brennley would be up there for me personally. Loved her KO, PO, T11 and T10. I know some people didn’t like her tone much, but I loved her upper register. She was actually more similar to Vanessa in my rankings

Let’s take a look at Chance the Rapper‘s Resume -Dropped NOIVAS in the Battle Rounds -Waited too long to use a steal and stole Tiana Goss after that battle -Dropped NariYella in the Knockout Rounds -Eliminated Kala Banham in Playoffs after giving the best performance of the team Chance, you’re fired

Putting Kason at #2 is certainly a choice. If you want to know why I didn’t like Kason, I think it’s because he didn’t live up to the expectations of covering Daughtry (Since I really like Chris’ voice) I recently had to watch some of these auditions again to prepare for my contestant ranking, and many of these were some of the better Blind Auditions of contestants that didn’t make Playoffs (since only three actually did)
