Best: Usher, no contest. Blake, Alicia and Xtina are solid. Worst: Shakira, CeeLo, Adam, Pharrell and Miley.

She mentioned that S12 would be her last season, but she returned for S14, so I don’t think it’s impossible she comes back. Unlikely tho.

As if we hear from someone again after the show ends

I still remember a girl suggesting “The Daughter’s Blower” by Damien Rice to a contestant

Maelyn - Fields of Gold and specially Mad World Domenic Haynes - River Max Boyle - when the party’s over and Falling Slowly Katie - ARUTW Thunderstorm - Blackbird, Summertime and Home Rose - BWR Zan - Blowin’ in the Wind Mendeleyev - Girl From the North Country

Sarah Simmons - One of Us Best audition ever BY FAR, I will never get tired of it.

Same

Sisaundra vs Paula (S6) - Paula was absolutely obliterated by Sisaundra.

I agree that he isn't that impressive, but because of the format this season, I can't say he didn't deserve to be in the finale. He outperformed everyone except Zan in the T17, and he was better that her in the T9 (only bc of song choice). However, he only made finale because he had zero competition, even if he had a mediocre run for a finalist.

- Yes - Toneisha - No one was really robbed, sorry Zan

Thunderstorm Artis - The Blower's Daughter (Damien Rice) Toneisha Harris - Break Every Chain (Tasha Cobbs) #pandering Todd Tilghman - Milkshake (Kelis) - Only chance I throw any votes for him Micah Iverson - The Night We Met (Lord Huron) CammWess - Jealous (Labrinth) - More of a prediction than a suggestion, but he'd kill it

Want: 1. Thunderstorm 2. Toneisha 3. Todd 4. Micah 5. CammWess Will: 1. Thunderstorm 2. Todd 3. Toneisha 4. Micah 5. CammWess

Agreed. Thunderstorm would have won Idol if he was on it (I know Arthur has a lot of hype, but I don’t think he would be able to beat him) and he would have had a better run when it comes to song choices and showing himself as an artist (one of the best things in Idol)

Mikayla

Yes!

I’ll go Kat Perkins (S6) Peyton Parker (S10) Celia Babini (S16) Lina Gaudenzi (S5)

Even if TV16 was utter trash and I would prefer almost everything over it, AI17 was as tragic as TV16 or even worse. It started great and with a lot of promise, but it went downhill FAST. Luckily I had a snowflake (Jeremiah) who was consistently amazing, but got robbed by some of the worst contestants ever on AI (Alejandro and Wade). I kinda liked Madison and Laci, but the first was inconsistent as hell and the latter crashed and burned in the lives. And at least The Voice had a good winner that year, I cannot say the same for AI (the other options weren’t any better tho) As for this year, I agree with you. AI had a promising cast but in the end everyone turned out to be very boring (not bad, they just bore me to tears) I hope AI can recover some of the quality they had in the past (S7, S8, S11), because I like their format more, but IMO right now The Voice is way ahead in terms of talent and quality.

KO steals who were eliminated along their KO partners in the Playoffs??

Both shows are ending soon, and I wanted to know what was IDF’s opinion about both shows going against each other this year. I know this will be posted in The Voice subforum, but I hope people are as unbiased as they can

I don’t think that’s the case. This season has the strongest male cast in a while, and the girls didn’t deliver (and they had bad song choices) and the guys did. If Megan had had a good song choice + good performance, I am sure she would have beaten Micah by a landslide.

As long as Toneisha has a safe song choice she is winning this.

Agreed. I think after their performances last week it was mostly equal between guys and girls, but last night the guys destroyed the girls, and the four of them are all deserving finalists. I don’t remember a contestant that has disappointed me as much as Joanna this season. Her battle and specially her blind were great, but after that her song choices were terrible and the execution was mediocre at best.

Thunderstorm Artis - "Home" 9.5 Todd Tilghman - "Love, Me" 8.5 Toneisha Harris - "Because You Loved Me" 6.5 Micah Iverson - "I Will Follow You Into The Dark" 8 CammWess - "Rainbow" 7 Joanna Serenko - "Lean On Me" 6 Megan Danielle - "What Hurts The Most" 3.5 Allegra Miles - "Overjoyed" 4.75 Zan Fiskum - "Never Be The Same" 5.5

... the format was T3/M3/B3, like in S9? IMO: Top 3: TStorm, Todd and Micah Middle 3: CammWess, Toneisha and Megan Bottom 3: Allegra, Joanna and Zan

Best male contestant since Jordan, what a legend he is... Add me please
