Don't get me wrong, I am asian descendant and LGBTQ+. But it is a surprise that after so many seasons with talented multi racial and LGBT people competing, only the last two were the ones in which a gay black man and an asian contestant won. Do you think that TPTB have been lately pushing the show for that, for instance pimping Sofronio as hell and asking for coaches to eliminate before live shows their male country acts? In a near future, shall we have finally our black female winner?

Cassadee was half pop, half country.

The first one was actually season 5, not counting season 1 and 2 in which each coach had a locked member in the finale.

Talking about song choices... Aliyah in playoffs received I have nothing and now Jeremy I who have nothing. Are TPTB implying team Snoop will have nothing in the finale? And what about Reba giving Chris Stapleton to Adam in Playoffs and now to Danny? Is she trying to countrifying them?

It's hard to think "what if". I think Aliyah would be strong but not winning at all. We had other several attractive young black women and neither of them won. Some undeservingly like Kennedy Holmes, some lasted longer than they were supposed to, like Aliyah Moulden. What a pity that Snoop tried to mirror the audience and picked a white country gal instead of her, so we will never know what would happen.

More connection? Jeremy says hi to Austyns who joined his team before. I think the correct short in this case is not OG but PoC...

Such a disappointment that when a black woman is (finally) approved by 92% of the audience, her coach is the one who decided to eliminate her.

I don't think her BA was good. Maybe because I love the original version. One contestant that I think that would nail that is Jeremy, esp that falsetto.

Yes, almost forgot her. Old times...

Yes. TV, make it happen!

Talking about whistle notes made me remember our national whistle king and how his run would be on TV:

Do you remember another contestant who tried whistle voice in the show?

Also what I love about him is that his low voice is so good as his high register, which is very rare, esp for male contestants.

I'd love to see him singing Take on Me by Aha. He has the gravel tone along with falsettos for this classic.

What do you guys think about Chechi? Although it is not a falsetto properly, but whistle notes, I think she was one of the few, if not the only contestant to show these kind of notes, right? I can't rememeber another one and I loved her audition.
