David, Corey, Marybeth were all really good

I did read the lyrics. There is definitely anger there but it feels like more of a defeated kind of anger. When she sings about how the other person wronged her, the tone is kind of like “well you won”. It reads not like she was leaving him outright, but that she was forced to back away.

yeah i don’t really understand why she was singing the song so angrily? LYTLM is a very vulnerable song and she made it sound more bitter than sad. Imagine if Mafe did that with “Someone Like You” last week, it wouldn’t be as impactful. I know we’ve all said Serenity is good at connecting with songs for her age but when she puts on an emotion she lays it on so thick that it just feels forced at times.

The Venus/Hunter beef lives on (this cast seems particularly bitter)

Last week my delusion worked and got Bryan into John’s Top 3. This time I’m doing the same for L. https://www.instagram.com/p/C6PhR7prekw/?igsh=MTMxOW41N2hlZnlzag== Her posting her stage fit this early probably means she’s in right? Karen and Madison also posted at around this time last week

Speaking objectively though, if she was on the same team as Anya and Olivia, you could make a case for choosing Serenity’s performance over theirs. But she has my least favorite tone of the three so I personally wouldn’t.

Serenity’s vocal was fine but I liked most of the eliminated performances from last episode better

Nathan Chester - Oh! Darling - 10 Karen Waldrup - Heart Like a Truck - 8.5 Kamalei Kawa'a - No Woman, No Cry - 7 Anya True - All Too Well - 7 Bryan Olesen - Africa - 8.5 Olivia Rubini - I'll Stand By You - 7 Mafe - Someone Like You - 8 Tae Lewis - Runnin' Outta Moonlight - 8.5 Zoe Levert - Iris - 7.5 Madison Curbelo - Landslide - 9.25

I would say that L. comes off more excited than Justin & Jeremy on her social media but I think that’s just her personality so we probably shouldn’t read that much into it.

I definitely don’t think Reba dropped Josh, and you just know Asher is gonna pull out something big for this round, so I think the last spot is a real toss-up between L and the twins. You could make a strong argument for both that she keeps them.

Unfortunately the twins might break the Filipino curse Seriously, when has a Filipino actually made it far on this show? It seems like once they make the Playoffs they never get past it (Anatalia, RADHA, Cedrice, Kaylee, Kala). Jej is the only one that comes to mind but he didn’t make it much further. edit: oops forgot Amy Vachal but point still stands edit2: KAMAG ANAK PALA NI AMY YUNG ANGKAN NG MGA GARCIA SA CEBU

Yknow what I feel like L would pick "Perfect"

that pair is a nightmare music collab waiting to happen

Watch them leak Justin & Jeremy tomorrow

Gustavo likes Kyle, to be fair Anyway, my preference is S25 KOs because most of the well-received S23 KOs like Grace, Holly, Tasha, and #@^&$% I wasn't really too high on. I did like my snowflake Neil Salsich, Sorelle too weirdly enough, and that's the round where I first clicked with Kala, but overall my impression was "meh, let's move on". S25 was not the greatest either but I prefer the Asher/Tae/Nathan/Anya/Karen group of performances to the 5 I liked most on S23.

1. Venus - Her level of delusion and entitlement is everything I could hope for in a character 2. Tiffany - She spoke her mind this episode and I was here for it 3. Charlie - I'm loving how cutthroat he's playing without being obvious about it 4. Q 5. Kenzie 6. Ben - Bonus points for his takedown of Q 7. Hunter - Nice knowing ya, but I won't be missing you much 8. Maria - Still a pretty boring character. 9. Liz - Her crying about Q "stealing her thunder" was kind of ridiculous imo

HUNTER IS OUT WOOOOOO he seemed like a nice guy but personally he would have made for a very boring winner and also i wanted q to cause chaos for a few more rounds

For me it’s just that her tone doesn’t really do anything for me. I noticed it first in her Battle where the song focused more on tone and I just was not captivated.

She and Nathan/Madison aren’t very far honestly, that’s just a couple thousand reacts. Karen and Nathan’s KOs also had very similar numbers

Took a peek at the comments of the Playoff results posted to Facebook, and it all seems pretty positive for once. - Tons of comments saying they agree with all of Dan and Shay’s picks, with a couple saying Olivia should have made it and barely anyone saying Anya. None of the three who got picked elicited any negativity though. - For Team Legend, a handful are saying they hoped Mafe could have gotten saved, some saying over Nathan, some over Zoe. The preference seems to be Bryan = Nathan >> Zoe based on the frequency of positive mentions. Also updated stats. 1. Karen 12.3K 2. Nathan 9.57K 3. Madison 9.5K 4. Bryan 8.7K 5. Zoe 7.2K 6. Tae 3.3K (leak)

Finally my overreading of the clue comes in handy unlike when Someone648 had just the number "617" as a clue for his S23 auditions ranking and I guessed Holly because that was the number of days between her Miss Mississippi win and Blind Audition but it turns out I was still somehow wrong and the real answer was that Grace West was Blake's 617th button push

Ryan Innes? First of three Ryans to turn four chairs?

oh lmao. Carson Peters?

Worth The Wait?

On the other hand it seemed like Mac was the one who chose his song so idk
