My thoughts on the edit of Elleigh/Quintavious + Alyssa:
- Elleigh’s edit was surprisingly very large and she gave a good performance. If she is strong in Hollywood and Showstoppers I can honestly see her surviving the messy song choice that is “Forget You”, but even then, I can’t see her surviving the Top 20 cut.
- Quintavious’ edit was small. Reminded me of Hailey’s edit where the talent spoke for itself as opposed to a story being necessary. I don’t foresee him going far though; I think the producers prefer Odell for the male powerhouse slot.
- Alyssa’s edit was horrible and I can already see the Facebook moms hating on her for being painted as a horrible person + friend. If she made live shows she clearly would’ve been fodder (though she also may have been edited differently in that case.) I feel bad because this is going to destroy her legacy when she left on a rather high note in S17…
I do also think it is interesting that both of them were placed immediately after other auditions in the edit, as opposed to being aired after a commercial break. Kinda makes it clear they are both afterthoughts.
Also I saw Mia, Jayna, and Julia in preview for next week. Perhaps Jordan and K-Blocks going untelevised?
