  1. Nutsa over Kaerya is a .... choice. I was kind of hoping that pretty boy Michael with a unique tenor voice would get in over WGWG Carbon Copy #9, but of course even in their extreme male bias, they only pick the most plain and boring male contestants to move on...
  2. Favorite 3 (not in order) Leah Marlene - 20 Catie Turner - 16 Jurnee - 16 Honorable Mentions Maddie Poppe - 16 Cassandra Coleman - 19 Christian Guardino - 20 Ava Maybee - 20 Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon - 17
  3. Leah Marlene - Cover Me by Bruce Springsteen - 7 HunterGirl - Dancing in the Dark by Bruce Springsteen - 4 Noah Thompson - I’m on Fire by Bruce Springsteen - 4.5 Leah Marlene - Flowers by Herself - 8.5 Noah Thompson - One Day Tonight by Himself - 3 HunterGirl - Red Bird by Herself - 9 Noah Thompson - Stay by Rihanna (Reprise) - 6.5 HunterGirl - Riot by Rascal Flatts (Reprise) - 8.5
  4. Wow, what a blast everybody! Would've been nice if one of the girls won, but overall one of the better seasons in the past few years. See y'all next year!
  5. Could Huntergirl pull this off?? I can't believe I voted for a country artist and am rooting for her to win, but there's always a first!
  6. So I voted for Huntergirl fully knowing Noah probably wins but hey why not. Also Christian with Bublé
  7. Even though Leah placed 3rd I'm so proud of her, my favorite never gets this far! It's such a big achievement to get the finale and be the highest placing non-country artist! She defied the odds and she's amazing and I really hope she is able to have a successful career! Rooting so hard for her.
  8. It's kinda ironic to me that the only other times the Top 3 had a female majority since Season 7 was with the same country girl/quirky girl/country guy trio (Season 10, Season 16, and now Season 20.)
  9. That was ten years ago lol...and Melanie is actually one of the few Voice contestants I've liked and even then I feel like her journey was hampered by the Voice format and she reinvented herself for Crybaby and it worked really well.
  10. Damn...I didn't know how many of y'all were just The Voice fans migrating here. I just wanted to give my counterpoint, as someone who has never been able to get into The Voice. First of all, speaking of the format. I personally find the Voice has way too much focus on the judges and the format is quite unfair in that the decisions are made right after performances without seeing all of them as well as the pairings tournament style. Then, you have the live rounds, which I don't know why, but the American Idol sets and costumes and props just feel so much more effortful and visually appealing than the same red-black duotone that the Voice uses for everything. And then speaking of the elimination format... you'll have the first live round where half of the people are cut and then single eliminations for like three weeks and then half of the cast is eliminated again. It feels super jarring on those mass cuts...I miss single eliminations on Idol but atleast once you get to the finalist stage it's always double elimination without insanely structured cuts. Contestant wise, I never noticed a gap in vocal talent. I like the character and following contestants along their journey and wanting to be emotionally moved by their performances. Sometimes that can be through contestants like Nicolina but she isn't necessarily a powerhouse in that sense. She is able to hit high notes but she only uses them when it is relevant to the arc of the song. American Idol emphasizes the story of a performance much more than the raw "look what notes I can hit" and you can definitely see that in the voting patterns. I don't agree with all the country artists advancing super far, but that just goes to show how the emphasis on American Idol is on storytelling, emotional connection, and their artistic identity. Leah and Catie have been two of my favorite contestants of all of ABC Idol, and I could never imagine contestants like that on The Voice.
