Kennedy on S15 finale night. She absolutely obliterated her opponents. Also Maelyn and Thunderstorm during their whole seasons.

Matthew Schuler vs Will Champlin

As a big fan of Lauren (I like her way better than Chris), I don’t think she was robbed, at all. Chris just simply had more appeal for the viewers when it came to his performance skills, and that’s why I think he won (and the pimping he recieved obviously, that’s undeniable). He wasn’t a bad singer either, even if I usually didn’t like his vocal choices. He was very consistent and he had his best performance at the finale with Rhythm Nation, and even if I prefered Deja Vu, I can see why people would vote Chris after that. It surely was an upset, and not the outcome I personally wanted, but to say he robbed Lauren is a big stretch IMO. An example of a big robbery in the finale would be Kennedy placing 4th, because she outperformed every single one of her opponents and she still didn’t win. Lauren didn’t outperform Chris, they were totally different performers and they both deserved the win.

Completely forgot about this one. It might the smartest song choice ever (even if I think the performance itself is a bit overrated )

I think some people are overestimating Toneisha’s voting power. Personally I don’t think she would have made finale in previous seasons.

Most of these matchups are brutal, but choosing between Juliet and Josh is impossible.

Agreed. #unpop but I don’t think she was very impressive. She had range for days but she didn’t use it properly IMO (she oversang every song she was given). I think she stood out because the competition in her season was really bad (she could at least sing, and that was more than what most of the T8 from that season could do, I’ll give her that.)

I should have clarified that I don’t consider pandering as an example of great song choices, even if they are usually the most clever and effective choices when it comes to giving someone the votes (see Todd and Craig, the kings of pandering).

Not the same as best performances. Basically song choices that weren’t predictable or overused at the time of the performance and meant a moment for the contestant who sang it. For me: Amber Carrington - Sad Tessanne Chin - Underneath It All Christina Grimmie - Hold On, We’re Going Home Matt McAndrew - The Blower’s Daughter Koryn Hawthorne - Make It Rain Amy Vachal - Hotline Bling Kennedy Holmes - Confident Rose Short - God’s Country

Amanda Brown - Dream On Jacquie Lee - I Put A Spell On You Matthew Schuler - Wrecking Ball Josh Kaufman - Stay With Me Kimberly Nichole - What’s Up Mia Z - Ain’t No Sunshine Jordan Smith - Halo Alisan Porter - Cry Baby Maelyn Jarmon - Mad World Thunderstorm Artis - Summertime

Voted. Really stacked bracket, but for the most part I didn’t have problems choosing the winners. Sad that I had to vote against Cry Me A River, Stay and Danny’s Song (even if I disliked the Swons), they were amazing performances. Also, as much as I can appreciate how good of a vocal Ain’t No Way was, I just can’t stand Sasha’s vibrato (IMO her best performance is her audition). India Carney had the same problem for me.

Adam: Tessanne followed by Jordan. Blake: Kyla easily. I also love Chloe. CeeLo: Juliet Simms, and Caroline Pennell as a close second. Xtina: Alisan Porter / Kimberly Nichole followed by Matthew Schuler. Shakira: Honestly none. I guess I enjoyed Kristen Merlin. Usher: Tie between Michelle Chamuel and Josh Kaufman Gwen: Rose Short, but I also love Jeffery Austin. Pharrell: I love Koryn, Mia Z and Hannah Huston equally. Miley: Brooke Simpson (I love Ali but her song choices were horrible) Alicia: Vanessa Ferguson by a country mile. Jennifer: Kennedy Holmes and Makenzie Thomas. Kelly: None (I think Kymberli is very overrated outside of Break Every Chain ) John: Maelyn easily. Nick: Thunderstorm Artis.

Just saw this

I like Danielle, but James winning that one with A Case Of You should have been a no brainer. I also think At Last is better than Amazing Grace.

Voted. Rose vs Jacquie was very close, and I forgot how good that Michelle’s performance was. Also, as a big fan of Addison, I think Humble and Kind was rough for the most part, even if it was very emotional at the same time.

Kimberly Nichole. IMO the best singer and performer to ever be on The Voice.

The slayage, the other girl didn’t stand a chance Sisaundra vs Paula DeAnda - Do What U Want

Chris and Jessie J - Masterpiece. I still watch it from time to time. Maelyn’s duet is a close second.

Kameron Marlowe (S15) with Blake as his coach would have won his season.

100% Deserving Winners 1. Alisan 2. Maelyn 3. Tessanne 4. Jordan 5. Josh Deserving but they weren’t my favorites 6. Chloe 7. Sawyer There were better options, but I wasn’t unhappy with their win 8. Danielle 9. Todd Not a fan in the slightest, but I could see why he won 10. Chris Undeserving 11. CWB 12. Sundance 13. Chevel 14. Brynn 15. Hoot Didn’t watch S1-S3

I love Lauren’s and Addison’s (in fact both were my favorite performances in their respective seasons) but if we are talking about solely the song, Wasted Love is the best original song by far.

I voted Chloe even if her voice was shot during the performance. The song was perfect for her tone.

S2: Juliet Simms - Roxanne S3: Amanda Brown - Dream On S4: Amber Carrington - Sad S5: Matthew Schuler - Cosmic Love S6: Josh Kaufman - Stay With Me S7: Chris Jamison - When I Was Your Man S8: Kimberly Nichole - HOTRS S9: Jordan Smith - Somebody to Love S10: Alisan Porter - Let Him Fly S11: Ali Caldwell - Times Have Changed S12: Lauren Duski - Deja Vu S13: Addison Agen - Tennessee Rain S14: Kyla Jade - Let It Be S15: SandyRedd - River S16: Maelyn Jarmon - The Scientist S17: Rose Short - IWTKWLI S18: Thunderstorm Artis - Summertime
