@Bk1234just did Vahhley so I figured I’ll give you a contestant a day to feature that is confirmed. Builds some excitement

True. A Noah Mac, Addison Agen final 2 would’ve been a dream. Only two singer-songwriter types could possibly make the final 2 on ABC idol

Not sure if this a popular opinion but I wish Addison would’ve beat Chloe K

I want Taryn to win her 4KO now even though stylistically I like Julia and Larriah. I just want to see Blake have to pick between Jim and WTW with Taryn winning the PV.

I think since we haven’t seen a Kelly... Desz vs. Sid could be the first knockout. Jim and JusJon might close hour 1 and Cami and John H might close the show

Wonder why that was the leak. JusJon got crushed. Jim scares me a bit. He was actually restrained, not his typical oversinging and sounded solid in this performance. Did sources like him?

Wow wasn’t expecting this leak. Going to go listen

Sure

For some odd reason, Idol has only allowed the Ojai people (the most current auditioners from this week) to reveal they’ve auditioned

Okay because I have a lot of people that have been confirmed now

Drake McCain is all but confirmed. He has many mutual followers from the Ojai auditions and is commenting on these announcements posts. I have compiled a list of people who have confirmed their status of auditioning. Does anyone know if I can somehow pin a spoiler tweet for everyone who auditioned at the beginning of the thread like in the past or no?

Yes but were they classically trained? People with extensive training or are pretty much pros should excel in the lives. I expect Tamara, John, Desz, and Taryn to all exceed in the lives. That said, vocals don’t guarantee a spot in the lives.

Yes but Tara doesn’t stand out. I’ve been saying for a long time... I think had Mia come on the show as a solo act, she would’ve had a better chance. The group is talented but she’s the true star.

Early predictions Team Kelly PV: Desz CS: Cami or Tanner (depends if we see Tanner’s KO) Team John PV: Tamara Jade (his team is a tossup but I think JH is too polarizing) CS: John Holiday Team Blake PV: Taryn Papa (I strongly believe she’s got the 4KO in the bag as Larriah and Ryan will split the other vote and Julia’s song choice is hurting her) CS: This is a tough one but I think he’ll save WTW (but could go with Jim or Sid). I think if Taryn loses the 4KO, Sid or WTW might get the PV. Team Gwen PV: Payge Turner CS: Ben Allen (could be Carter but I think Gwen always makes head scratcher decisions)

I doubt she’s coming back but just my opinion that she was one of last seasons best auditions and somehow didn’t make it. Hopefully the show doesn’t have fatal flaws this season. She’s too good. https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-upsvkg2Ad/?igshid=58twgqm61myg

And yep here’s the post from Cameron Allen. https://www.instagram.com/p/CHwGeyHh8PQ/?igshid=uypkcp6w9779

Also in the post, he names Cameron Allen and Cecil Ray Baker. Both I knew had auditioned but this further confirms

The question is who will make it further... Max Dubrow or Claudia Conway

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMJx4hA6s/ also I don’t find her that good. But she isn’t bad

This looks like a publicity stunt. The whole thing with Katy and everything screams publicity. I could see her crash and burn in Hollywood though

I can see that. If I had to choose a diva pop vocalist Kelsie >>> Marisa 100% But Marisa did win that Battle for sure

Fun Fact: according to Kelsie Watts, Kelsie and Emmalee were the coaches favorite battle
