Sick coach lineup if you ask me. Reba was defo one of the top choices to replace Blake, so I'm sure it'll go well there. Happy John and Niall are back. Also happy to see Gwen back even though I was fully expecting Kelly to return

Haven't watched Ryley, NOIVAS, or Ray yet, but I'm gathering IDF thinks Ryley (and Holly) deserved to move on? Over who?

Gimme a Gina and Grace top 2 and I'll forgive this mess of a season muah

I think most people here were counting out 2 of D SMooth/Gina/Sorelle, and all 3 ended up making it. Honestly no complaints there

Had Holly been called 5th, it would've been a near perfect finale for me. But oh well

HOLLY NOOOOOOOOO

1. Gina
2. Holly
3. Grace
4. Ryley Tate
5. D Smooth
6. Sorelle
7. NOIVAS
8. Ray

1. Rachel
2. Mary Kate
3. Jamar
4. Cait

Apart from Kala being the obvious undeserving elimination this round, the first three could've moved on over others in their respective teams and I wouldn't have been mad. As much as I love Cait, Kelly got her top 2 right, but her performance was still good

Locks

Grace

NOIVAS

Holly

Will probably make it

Ryley

Up in the air (depends on POs and Semis reception; either way they'd likely be fighting for 5th place)

Sorelle

Gina

D Smooth

DOA
Ray

Also I don't get the impression that contestants on the show are super warm towards NOIVAS (some of the contestants in the live at least). Nothing disrespectful was said but it was giving Spensha during her post-finale interview saying "meh" when asked about Pryor

MK just said that she went to "that website" to see the comments. The others shrieked in horror and asked why she would do that.   Someone transitioned to hate comments on YouTube and other places. They seemed amused and not really bothered by the comments so that's good I guess. 

She quoted one user that's only in discussion threads. Idk why they go on that thread every week just to spread negativity, but hey, they might be going through it idk

ALI also called out IDF for being ableist in the comments of the live. Just a reminder to be careful with what we say or how we refer to contestants with disabilities on the show. Not cool at all if the contestants themselves feel like comments here are being discriminatory towards them in any way and it's not ok.

Unpop: The playoff pass shenanigan isn't too bad? Like I understand why it's confusing and some people might not like it (mainly because of contestants losing a performance on the show and moving on directly after "losing" their battle) but I prefer it MILES over some other KO shenanigans the producers have pulled over the years (HATED the three way knockouts with my heart, would've much rather had a playoff pass over that atrocity)

Favorite playoffs team tbh. Like others, wouldn't be mad at a s16 format to see them all go through lol

1. Mary Kate
2. Grace
3. Rachel
4. Kylee
5. NOIVAS

1. Kala
2. Manasseh
3. Sorelle
4. Ray
5. Jamar

1. Gina
2. Ryley
3. Tasha
4. Ross
5. Michael

1. Holly
2. Cait
3. Neil
4. D Smooth
5. ALI

Chloe, Gracee, Paris, Rowan, and Rachel are my personal favorites

Yeah I thought Rachel would do a different arrangement. I was expecting something more Katrina Cain-y (best cover of Rhiannon we've had on the show imo), which maybe was a weird expectation, but I still think she'll be one of the strongest losing knockouts we'll have this season and that performance defo deserved a steal

And... if Ray insists on doing modern RnB, maybe this isn't out of the question 

 

 

Ray targeting Miss Gina while she's minding her own business and making the finale

Ok, (kinda late to this but) I heavily disagree with all of the people who said that Chance should’ve picked Nariyella “for the long run” instead of Ray

 

If we are going by that logic, we might as well just get rid of the knockouts, playoffs, semi finals, and other rounds and choose the 5 people who had the best blind/battle and put them in the final

 

The entire purpose of multiple rounds is to give contestants a chance to show what they are capable of and a chance to improve. Every contestant should feel they have the chance to move on as long as they perform better than the other.

 

Was Ray amazing? No. But he was good and beat Nariyella in my opinion, the opinion of 3 of the 4 coaches, and the opinion of the majority of the app users.

I agree with you for the most part. Yes battles/knockouts decisions should be based on how it went in the moment (see Micah vs Tayler, that's one decision I will personally always disagree with) but how do you decide when two artists are equal in the round? At the end of the day there are more factors that are inevitably taken into consideration. Part of the coaches critiques were also that they were very equal. The reason why I personally think NariYella should've gone through is that again, both performances were equally as "ok" (both did alright, no one did anything super special to push them over the other) but based on their past performances you can see who is more likely to give great performances and put up a fight later on. 

I still like Ray (especially his personality) and won't call him "undeserving", but also of course people are gonna feel some type of way when their favorites (who have built up hype after previous strong performances) are getting eliminated over others who most people seem to agree aren't quite hitting the mark. This happens every season.

Wait all this time I forgot Ray beats Kala AND Manasseh in the playoffs??? And then one hour later we'll see Kylee, Mary Kate, and Rachel getting eliminated The first Monday of playoffs girl I will not be okay

Kala, Cait, Kylee, Gina, NOIVAS, and Tasha were all amazing imo

Did Chance say he tried to steal Kala in the battles? Wasn't Kelly the only one to go for a steal?

Was that EJ that curb-stomped the stage just like that?

That felt super short
