As soon as I read Amy’s results I knew who the most offended “audience member” was going to be and I was 100% right Also, I’ll make a Google doc spreadsheet tracking episode results once I’m off work tonight (and I can share it here if anyone wants me to, though I don’t think I’ll be the fastest to update it every time)

Team Ranking: A-Kid (it's illegal to not put a team with both Kimberly and Kyla on top, I don't make the rules) BK (it's close though, Noah and Ricky are both up my alley artistry-wise so I'm happy to see them here) Disney (Thunderstorm's T-storm and Kameron got screwed over on his IRL run, maybe he'll have better luck here?) MaeBae (based just off their auditions, Matt is breaking his back carrying the team currently - based on their runs on the show IRL, I'd probably put this as tied with Team Disney)

In that case, to the other judges:

The only way any of y'all are getting out of him being a four-chair turn is if at least two teams were full Kyla Jade - I would have turned Cody Wickline - I would have turned Amy Vachal - I would have turned Thunderstorm Artis - I would have turned Presley Tennant - I would not have turned Amanda Brown - I would have turned Kameron Marlowe - I would have turned Ricky Duran - I would have turned Madilyn Payge - I would not have turned Joanna Serenko - I would have turned i'm an easy turn but we already established that

Considering song #1 on her list is likely off the table given the original artist is now an Idol judge, I could see "I Was Here" working well for her.

I've said it before: as much as I'd love a Kelly/Miley/JHud/Blake panel, I don't think NBC wants to pay the therapy bill Blake would rack up as a result of that season.

In order by season (and alphabetical order by first name within seasons): Season 2: Juliet Simms Season 3: Amanda Brown Season 4: Michelle Chamuel, Sarah Simmons Season 5: Cole Vosbury, Matthew Schuler, Tessanne Chin, Will Champlin Season 6: Christina Grimmie, Josh Kaufman, Sisaundra Lewis Season 7: Chris Jamison, Matt McAndrew Season 8: Kimberly Nichole, Koryn Hawthorne, Sawyer Fredericks Season 9: Amy Vachal, Jeffrey Austin, Jordan Smith, Korin Bukowski Season 10: Alisan Porter, Laith Al-Saadi Season 11: Ali Caldwell, Sundance Head, Wé McDonald Season 12: Chris Blue, Hunter Plake, Lauren Duski, Stephanie Rice, Vanessa Ferguson Season 13: Addison Agen, Chloe Kohanski, Janice Freeman, Keisha Renee, Noah Mac Season 14: Brynn Cartelli, Kyla Jade Season 15: Chevel Shepherd, MaKenzie Thomas Season 16: Maelyn Jarmon Season 17: Katie Kadan, Ricky Duran, Rose Short Season 18: Allegra Miles, Joanna Serenko, Thunderstorm Artis, Todd Tilghman, Toneisha Harris, Zan Fiskum Season 19: Cami Clune, Desz, Sid Kingsley

Give Zania the Postmodern Jukebox arrangement of Old Town Road and watch TPTB’s rage at her dodging the bus attempt while she slays

Love Kyndal, but Cam & Emma take this and it’s not close.

Hopping on the “add me” train, hopefully she crushes her 4-Way KO performance.

Cam Anthony - Lay Me Down - 24 Corey Ward - Dancing on My Own - 42 Savanna Woods - Zombie - 54 Zania Alake - Sweet Love - 74

I don’t wish short clips or montages on anyone, but for that artist’s sake getting short-clipped might honestly be for the best so they don’t have to relive that performance in all its glory when they see it televised.

I know it was suggested for Victor earlier in the thread but I feel like Pia could also nail “Bridge Over Troubled Water” tbh.

I'm saving the sub-4 scores for the true train-wrecks of the season, which I'm not expecting to happen before we get to the live rounds. (I'd say sub-5 but I can't remember what the lowest score I gave any of the auditions was so...)

Tessanne would've destroyed "Crazy on You" but Bridge Over Troubled Water is an iconic-tier performance; that said, if she ever posts a cover of either of those songs somewhere, I'd be 1000% here for it.

If he weren’t already flipping a Kelly song for his Knockout I’d be all for it.

I thought “Piece by Piece “ was about her dad and how her ex was a better man than her dad because he’s actively involved in his kids’ lives? If I’m wrong, then that’s my bad.

Considering dropping that bombshell on Pete would've changed the mood of the entire livestream, I don't blame Corey for leaving that out if he knew. That's good to know, but I think we're not going to see it just yet. Maybe next season (or Season 22).

Song Choices by Team

Rewatching the Pete and Corey live - not Pete suggesting "Piece by Piece" for Corey To be fair, I don't think Pete was 100% aware it was about Kelly's ex-husband, but still

Cam Anthony - Lay Me Down - 30 Corey Ward - Dancing on My Own - 43 Savanna Woods - Zombie - 52 Zania Alake - Sweet Love - 69 (nice)

So Carolina on “Old Town Road” then, got it

I enjoyed song choices more week one, but the vocals more in week two. Wouldn’t be surprised for Dreams and pov to both remain in the top five (or even top three), but we still have seven battles to go.

Isn’t Chevel really tiny too (like 4’10-4’11”)? As for the outliers, I don’t think there’s someone taller than Blake or under 5 foot this season, but I am even worse at judging people’s heights than their ages so...
