I saw the word ”Wild” and I realized that Wild Horses by The Rolling Stones could fit them as well. 

Arianators didn’t vote hard enough to save Holly, so I don’t think their voting power is as strong as Minivan. Jim and Sasha’s Minivan appeal caused them to keep getting saved, since they are performing well known or appealing songs each week. Stay doesn’t seem Minivan friendly, but it has been performed many times on the show, so the audience knows it by now.

Considering Team Blake generally goes straight into shooting the mentoring sessions after the results show ends, he’s more likely than not just tired.

 

I’m not discounting the possibility of a bus, but the production team is (hopefully) not that stupid given he’s been doing pretty well on social media the past few weeks - sacrificing him in favor of Wendy could massively backfire since he seems to be much less divisive than she is with the main contingent of the audience.

Blake usually has two contestants in the finale, so I don’t think they will bus Paris. They don’t usually bus Blake contestants in the semis, especially, and the fifth finalist will make it easier for other contestants to get into the finale

Friendly reminder that JHud was left with 0 contestants in the finale on Season 13 despite being her first season 

I think they tried to push for Noah in the finale, but Noah didn’t want it

Watch her KO (it’s an all-timer) and her Playoffs if you haven’t already.

Yes, her Knockout was a breakout moment that season (one of the best Knockouts that season)

Yep. He had to sing for his life to get to the finale.

 

I don´t know if they could pull it off even if they get pimped to hell and back. The top 4 seems too strong to me.

That was a weird case though, since everyone expected him to be a finale lock. At least he managed to make Top 2 in spite of it

To be fair, even the coaches knew that Rose deserved to win the Instant Save by a landslide (considering all of them were on their feet before she was even done with the song), so Kat was screwed the moment it was clear Rose was in the middle three.

 

The only question is whether Lana or Paris the higher priority for TPTB at this point.

Agreed. I preferred Rose by a mile in general.

I’m thinking Paris is a higher priority, considering he got a PV already, plus his numbers are overall much higher on FB

I think you guys are looking way to into it in the aspect of them not wanting 3 Blake members in the finals. Blake is their guy. If they get the votes they get the votes. He has won 3 consecutive semi finals instant save . Also if PVs are Hailey, GNT, Paris, and Wendy only Joshua and Lana would be the new ones in the IS. It‘s hard to win back to back IS. I can see Lana beating Joshua easily with votes. 

The only reason why he won 3 Instant Saves was because of the format in those seasons only allowing one Blake member to get PV into the finale. If team quotas didn’t exist, they would have all gotten PV’s

Thanks!!!! 

We won’t even have spoilers here for another 7 months

Just Ariana, hopefully. Though I’m not too confident about John’s chances either. Either way, I’m sure they will push for either Jim and Sasha or Joshua to make finale

They've been treating him very well throughout the competition, so I dont expect s bus for him, but anything can happen.

 

I still have him as a PV next week.

They never bus Blake’s non-TCO threats though. They just let him have 2 finalists (there has only been one season after S11 where he had just one finalist)

Jacquie Lee - IPASOY

 

Thanks. I couldn’t see it, but it makes sense knowing Vic

These are great performances, but no better than the best of some of the more recent seasons imo.

 

Although, Kimberly is definitely one of the greatest this show has had.

What’s the middle performance 

Girl Named Tom, Paris Winningham, Hailey Mia and Wendy Moten seem like the PVs here

As for the other 4, it seems like a tossup, and I’m not certain about anything, but by process of elimination, we have two IS winners and one contestant on a team with two people already. My guess is Joshua Vacanti, since title would be easier to pimp him in the save, but they might also try to push for Jim and Sasha to get Ariana a finalist.

This is what is known as wish-casting. If you want Lana to win the instant save, you better hope Hailey gets a PV. 

If GNT, Hailey, Paris and Wendy are the 4 PVs, the IS spot will be wide open.

I didnt really start watching consistently until after the first Idol ended. But I think whatever top 5 we have this season is going to be head and shoulders above last season. Cam was really the only one that I felt did anything to deserve the finale. This year all but two I would say deserve it. And I quite enjoy one of the two acts that probably doesnt.

Cam was the only contestant out of my personal Top 4 that made finale, and he won. I’d say that the other contestants could have been more deserving if there was a format like this one

Damn, imagine this top 8 line up but with Gymani here instead of J&S. 

Amazing. A semifinals where I am happy with everyone there 

Well, this season continued the trend of me being sad at T11 and not caring about the T10 eliminations

So singing "Stay" really helped Jim & Sasha after being in the bottom  manifestation kings!

No joke they did really well this week. Hope to see them excel next week as well!

Not the first surprise PV with this song, but theirs is actually not nearly as frustrating as a specific contestant that got PV with it (someone I disliked a lot more than them)

Jeremy Rosado - What Hurts The Most - 7

Holly Forbes - Because of You - 6

Jershika Maple - What Is Love - 10

First Instant Save performance to earn a 10

Congratulations to Girl Named Tom for making the Semis.

Hopefully they do something classic like Helplessly Hoping, Wichita Lineman or Dust in the Wind. That’s the type of stuff they excel in the most, and classics like that would be great for votes.

Just realized both Hailey & Jershika made it further than their battle partners despite losing and being stolen.

And Lana (except she got saved)

But yeah, if it’s not like pre-reserved for a finale duet for him & John or whatever, Joshua NEEDS to cover “Believe” on the show (or at the very least on his own post-show).

That was one of the most fun weeks for MJ

The obvious finalists

1. Girl Named Tom

2. Paris Winningham

3. Hailey Mia

4. Wendy Moten

#5 is really up for grabs now, but here are my guesses for the chances

5. Joshua Vacanti

6. Jim and Sasha

7. Lana Scott

8. Jershika Maple

Jim and Sasha is a weird case because they got good stats/PV after already being in the bottom. I think it’s between them and Joshua for the 5th spot. For all we know, we could have another surprising PV

Seeing MJ request Believe for Joshua is reminding me of how another one of his favorites sang that in the semis during his season (and he’s another one of his most pop leaning snowflakes )

Holly had a great audition and she held her own in that knockout matchup. I honestly never expected to see her get eliminated this soon
