That far ahead we only have the futon critic info

 

http://www.thefutoncritic.com/showatch/voice/listings/

 

They are placeholder but seem to match what we know I remove the sunday repeat to simplify the schedules.

 

5/21/24 (Tu.)	9:00 PM	NBC	Season Finale
5/21/24 (Tu.)	8:00 PM	NBC	One Hour
5/20/24 (Mo.)	8:00 PM	NBC	Two Hours
5/14/24 (Tu.)	8:00 PM	NBC	One Hour
5/13/24 (Mo.)	8:00 PM	NBC	Two Hours
5/7/24 (Tu.)	8:00 PM	NBC	One Hour
5/6/24 (Mo.)	8:00 PM	NBC	Two Hours
4/29/24 (Mo.)	8:00 PM	NBC	Two Hours
4/22/24 (Mo.)	8:00 PM	NBC	Two Hours
4/15/24 (Mo.)	8:00 PM	NBC	Two Hours
4/8/24 (Mo.)	8:00 PM	NBC	(#2512-120) THE KNOCKOUTS PREMIERE

 

So my guess is 

4/8/24 - 4/15/24  Knockouts  (Each team has 3 KO pair + 1 PO pass and we know we can get 6 KO pair per 2 hours episode so 2 KO episode that everyone)

4/22/24 - 4/29/24 Playoffs ( I would assume 2 teams each week)

 

Then We are back to Mon -Tues so 3 weeks of Live Show. With the usual recap on the 5/21/24 before the finale result.

The 12->9->5 live show format is actually great imo so I’m happy with this

This probably isn’t super unpopular but on the topic, on top of Alexa’s I’d also say Nini’s KO is an all timer. As someone who wasn’t super into her audition or battle, this performance made me do a complete 180 on her. Such a good song choice & arrangement for her

super obvious but bryce was literally on the brink of elimination in the first week of lives lol

S22 is so weird to look back on it feels like there wasn’t a single frontrunner the entire season even up to the finale

I’m not 100% sure if this changes the outcome but in S17 if Max wins the Max/Katie KO & Katie gets stolen by Kelly, I think there’s a serious possibility Katie wins instead of Jake

Wow we have the same thoughts except reverse the contestants.

Lol honestly I can respect that, I wish I enjoyed Kala more than I did. She’s the type of singer that’s usually super in my wheelhouse

That’s quite dramatic but you know what I respect the standom  

When am I not dramatic about my favorites on here lol

But I honestly believe she was on another tier compared to everyone on that team, and I enjoyed everyone on Niall's lives team so that's saying something

Personally, I wasn’t a huge fan of Alexa’s KO though it should have been something which appealed to me. I guess that’s my unpopular opinion.

Alexa's KO is probably my most replayed performance of any singing show in the last 6-7 years, it's that good to me. The arrangement is amazing, the emotion she's able to convey with just her voice is unlike anybody I've ever heard, her tone is so piercing, I can go on & on. One of the only performances in the show's history I'd consider "perfect" 

I remember during the playoffs of last season there was a poll going around asking who was more unfairly eliminated out of Alexa Wildish & Kala Banham, and I think I want to rehash that conversation because the consensus was that it was Kala when I think it's far and away Alexa

Kala's run throughout the competition never really stood out to me, she had a nice audition (nothing otherworldly but I enjoyed it & was rooting for her), a battle where she VERY clearly was the weakest of the two (albeit she still sounded fine but was completely overshadowed by Gina), & a KO and Playoff performance that, while very technically sound, weren't super memorable to me. A singer like Kala is usually very in my wheelhouse, & I didn't dislike her, but she just never really stuck with me. I feel like people want to act like her Playoff performance was a lot better than it was (I see people say she had the best playoff performance of the season when I don't even think I'd put it in the top 5) While she 1000% should've made it over Ray (in all fairness Jamar and Manessah were also significantly better than Ray), Kala leaving didn't have me in shambles or anything.

Alexa, on the other hand, was having one of the best runs in the show's history prior to her elimination. Her blind audition was one of the 3 or 4 best of the season, her performance in that battle was beautiful (I'd seriously recommend revisiting that battle, I don't know if I've ever heard someone on this show be able to emote to the degree that Alexa can), EASILY the best KO of the season & one of the best of all time, and the best playoff performance of the season. I can't think of another artist in the last 10 seasons that's been as consistent as Alexa was the entire competition. Anyone trying to justify Alexa's elimination saying Niall's team was stacked is underplaying just how head & shoulders above the competition Alexa was. As much as I liked Huntley, Nini, and Mara, none of them stacked up at all to Alexa. Her being eliminated after that performance of Fields of Gold was the tragedy of tragedies, I can't think of another person in the show's history more robbed than Alexa was.

No show this Monday and also is Hollywood Week () on American Idol.

 

It's gonna be a painfully long week. 

Hollywood week is my favorite part of AI 

This is the first time I'm actually sitting & reading through the Hollywood Junket article

Reba has a powerhouse singer who ends up being her Playoff Pass.  She sang a Pink song.  The performance was hitting on all cylinders from beginning to end.  It was a bit too much over the top for most of the coaches.  They wanted to see her reel it in some.  They also said the song choice wasn’t the best.  John and the other coaches agreed, it was not her best performance. This artist also agreed.

So I guess the judges didn't like L's playoff performance  

Quote

Reba STOLE 17-year-old twins from a coach (you’ll have to watch).  ALL of the coaches said their “blood harmony” was on point.  John noted that this was the first performance where their harmonization was on point.  He was alluding to the fact that they improved under Reba’s coaching.  Their former coach took offense in a playful way.

I'm very afraid that Reba's going to take these two to the lives

Quote

The gloves came off during one artist’s Blind Audition between Reba and Dan + Shay.  They were fighting each other for this artist who blew the roof off the place with 1974 song Dixieland.  He is a solid Country artist contender and most likely will make it to the Live Shows (we are predicting). 

 

He was praised for interacting with the band during his performance, as well as bringing high energy. 

Who could this be about? Maybe Josh?

Strongest is one of John/D&S, I'd probably give the edge to John but it's very very close

Weakest is Chance by a mile

Add me 

1. Jackie vs. Olivia

2. L vs. Tae

3. Mafe vs. Rivers

4. Asher vs. Alyssa

5. Madison vs. Kyle

1. Anya

2. Olivia

3. L

4. Val

5. Asher

I’d say around a B/C, battles were a clear step up from the blinds but nothing too crazy

There's hopefully a world where Anya pulls a Lila Forde and wins her Knockouts after a battle montage 

Lila vs. JaRae getting montaged will never sit right with me

My personal predictions

Team Chance:

RLETTO vs. Dani Stacy

Serenity Arce vs. Alyssa Crosby

Maddi Jane vs. Kamalei Kawa'a

Team John

Zoe Levert vs. Jackie Romeo - Stolen by Reba

Gene Taylor vs. Nathan Chester - Stolen by Dan & Shay

Val T. Webb vs. Mafe

Team Dan & Shay

Olivia Rubini vs. Frank Garcia

Anya True vs. Kyle Schuelser - Stolen by Chance

Karen Waldrup vs. Ducote Talmage

Team Reba

Tae Lewis vs. Asher HaVon - Stolen by John

Justin & Jeremy Garcia vs. Zeya Rae

Josh Sanders vs. Ashley Bryant

Really don't mean to sound like an obnoxious stan I promise but Anya's tone stands out here even more than it did in her audition, wish we got to hear more of AJ's sections though

Love the subtle cracks in her voice so much, really hoping she makes it to the playoffs at least

Anya isn’t making playoffs let’s be real

What did I do to deserve this attack

2 minutes ago, thevoiceisthetop said:

let's just say Dan+Shay's team is correct but the only male they could've mixed AJ with is Ducote and they look nothing alike

Time to let it go

Chance’s team looks such a step below every other team it’s almost funny, outside of Maddi maybe

1. Rivers

2. Val

3. Zoe

4. Jackie

5. Gene

6. Nathan

1. Anya 

2. Olivia 

3. Kyle

4. Karen

5. Frank

6. Ducote

My ranking

1. Asher

2. Zeya

3. Tae

4. Ashley

5. Josh

6. J&J

Just now, FloorWax said:

That means the remaining Team Reba pairing is Justin and Jeremy vs Zeya. Why?

Makes sense how the twins got to the playoffs then but still tragic nonetheless

TEAM LEGEND - Bryan Oleson

Nathan Chester vs Zoe Levert

Jackie Romeo vs Mafe

Gene Taylor vs Val T. Webb

Posting made up spoilers and then posting like normal without acknowledging it at all is honestly really funny lol

I need D+S to push Anya in more of an indie/folksy direction than a pop direction for the KO’s

Val 100% took that one
