Tamara was nowhere near as overhyped as you are all making it seem. The most overhyped contestant by far was Desz, even if she managed to meet most IDF users’ expectations. I would say Cami and Payge had more hype than Tamara as well.

He has a cool tone but he didn’t do much with the song. As for the last question, we’ll have to see how he does in his battle and KO.

Great 1. Zae - Beautiful voice and smart song choice. I really enjoyed it. Solid 2. Gean - Cool tone. 3. Aaron - ^^^ Meh 4. Carolina - This was all over the place. Not a fan of her tone either. 5. Ethan - Your average country guy. It wasn’t bad but it was really mediocre.

This seems to be a trend on the show with most of the divas: their blinds being their weakest performances, and then slaying their KOs. I’m expecting Dana to be the same.

It’s refreshing to see the premiere recieving positive reactions, but I’m so used to IDF disliking everything (myself included) that it’s making me uncomfortable I don’t expect it to last very long tho.

I’ll be the first one to post a nice comment and say it was very brave to post something like this as your first post

This is hard, but I have to go with Tamar. S10’s KOs were absolutely stacked and this was one of the highlights.

I have been pretty vocal in the past about not getting Zae’s appeal, but this was a nice surprise! Not a perfect vocal but I really enjoyed it for the most part. That said, I still find laughable that he was once considered as a threat to the crown. He’s the opposite of what the core audience enjoys.

Kenzie by default.

He will probably be the leak as well.

I don’t see him as unstoppable as I did before, but I still think he has the lead based on... (this contains some minor spoilers)

Bringing this back

Add me, really strong audition.

Fantastic 1. Cam - Perfect delivery. This will be hard to top. Great job! 2. Raine - Love the rasp and the song choice. The most interesting act of the night. 3. Corey - Don’t like the song choice, but he killed it. 4. Victor - Great vocals and tone. 5. Dana - Everything was perfect until the end (she did too much with some notes). Still great tho. Good, need to hear more 6. Pete - Cool tone and loved some of his vocal choices, but it was somewhat forgettable. 7. Kenzie - Not a fan but he wasn’t bad. 8. Devan - Nice voice and cool song choice, but he was nervous and it showed. Ehhh 9. Christine - This went south after the first chorus. Strong premiere considering how underwhelming the premiere of these past seasons have been. We’ll see if they can keep up the level in future episodes.

B- for me. Everyone was good but I wanted more standouts (Cam was the only one who wowed me). It’s still way better than I was expecting, so I’m happy overall.

I refuse to believe anyone who has watched Preston hasn’t voted for him. His blind is iconic (Raine was good as well tho)

Jeffery by far, and it’s not even one of my favorite performances from him.

I was underwhelmed the first time I watched this, but right now I would say he was only outperformed by Cam.

If this guy is in college I should be in preschool

I had my suspicions, but after tonight I think Corey will be a bigger threat than Gihanna for Top 9’s IS.
