Cassandra went on Instagram Live last night and said shes thought about giving up/quitting and that her nerves are worse than ever.

I agree. Willie is not an artist that will have any mainstream career because he is too old school and wont make music that suits the radio or TikTok trends. They need someone marketable who can be promoted easily to a young audience. 

1. Casey Bishop

2. Grace Kinstler

3. Ava August

4. Willie Spence

5. Hunter Metts

6. Cassandra Coleman

7. Alyssa Wray

8. Beane

9. Chayce Beckham

10. Madison Watkins

11. Deshawn Goncalves

12. Caleb Kennedy

This Top 10 is so refreshing to me especially compared to last season and Season 17

The second half of Grace's performance sounded like a whole different one compared to the start of it. Loved it!

Pop songs like these arent meant to be sung on Idol or Reality TV shows. 

Performances like Ava's are making me miss WNTS this season  

I know Casey stans Haley... she has taste and TALENT!

OOP! I hope its not because of Covid...

Louis and Arthur are not strong vocalists, say what you want about them as artists, but in the vocals category they dont deliver.

I believe there are victory performances as well for the contestants who make it.

Also, Im excited to see Paula's thoughts on this seasons contestants!

I think a "few winners" likely means 3, so it'd be:

May 2nd - Top 12

May 3rd - Top 10

May 9th - Top 8

May 10th - Top 6

May 16th - Top 5

May 17th - Top 4

May 23rd - Finale

it was (unfortunately) confirmed that only one person is advancing

April 12th - Top 12 Reveal
April 18th - Top 12 Perform, Top 9 Reveal
April 19th - Returnees Perform
May 2nd - 1 Returnee Joins Top 9, Top 10 Perform, Top 8 Revealed
May 3rd - Top 8 Perform, Top 7 Revealed
May 9th - Top 7 Perform, Top 6 Revealed
May 10th - Top 6 Perform, Top 5 Revealed
May 16th - Top 5 Perform, Top 4 Revealed
May 17th - Top 4 Perform, Top 3 Revealed
May 23rd - Final 3 Perform, Winner Revealed

Could this be a potential format?

WTF..... why only one? thats so pointless.

I think Madison will sneak in the Top 10 because she had a good performance and is doing pretty decent in social media stats. I think Cassandra could also be a shock in the Bottom 6.

Discuss and vote!

Tonight was okay, not many "Wow" performances. My favorite was Casey. 

Beane sounded good vocally but otherwise, kinda mediocre. 

I LOVED that from Casey, it showed off the soft vocals as well as her belting. 

Colin's "Put your hands up" and "Come on now" make me cringe so hard. 

Katy was talking about Cassandra having success "even after Idol" which makes me think about if they dont see her staying that long. 

There were some moments of rawness and vulnerability where her nerves shown through but I loved this performance from Cassandra!

She's one of my favorites, but it's two weeks with odd choices. She's choosing "small songs" or songs that require a limited range and trying to go big with them so they result in awkwardly placed runs and high notes. We know she can out sing everyone at this point, so I mean yeah she will always be one of the better ones, but the songs need to better for her to reach the finale and potentially win.

I think this is the producers fault though, because they know if she sings the "old" powerhouse diva songs she wouldnt come across as marketable as she would by singing modern pop songs. 

Wyatt seemed to be focusing more on having fun rather than the actual vocals on this performance but it still sounded pretty good.
