Yeah, like that one user with the fake playoff spoilers on the Voice subforum.

Ok

I mean, remember "Black Hole Sun"?? That wasn't a coincidence, in the slightlest. Are you telling me that the song was never sung before on either show and suddenly,. It's picked on both shows with the performances airing very close to each other (One live and one pre-recorded)? And the spoiler of Savanna's performance was here, public, for months...

To be fair, not even Selena could give a decent performance of the song herself.

Marybeth Byrd.

That was rough. Or maybe i just can't get into her tone and and some of her vocal choices just don't work for me and make the whole performances sound off. Anyway, i'm not a fan. But i admit that for a teenager, she knows how to connect with the songs she is singing. Maybe that's why Chance keeps choosing her.

I notice that Karen is like Morgan Myles in the sense that they both are seasoned performers whose styles can potentially appeal to Minivan, but the fact that they are women over 30 make things harder for them. The main difference between would be that Karen has a defined identity, she has it clear that she is country and nothing else, while Morgan tried to tackle other genres like pop, and that probably affected her appeal. And also, Karen has the advantage that there is no Blake this season. Yeah, Reba is probably more popular than Dan + Shay but she doesn't really have, at least not yet, Blake's voting power. If Karen plays her card rights, anything can happen. (And yes, i know Morgan is obviously a better vocalist but that is not that relevant to my point tbh)

Manifesting Josh as both the leak and the closer of the episode with a classic country ballad, so we can finally have our frontrunner (and future winner)

Pretty much the whole text could be summarized in that last sentence. Still, great analysis as always.

So, far, she did one thing right with her song choice in the Knockouts. I'm not an expert on the genre but I'm almost sure that Trisha Yearwood is a more beloved artist in the country community than Corey Kent. Song choice is the key to connect with the viewers.

Add me, please

About the Knockouts, yeah, i prefer S25. The S23 KO's were good but not great outside Cait/Kala/Holly. On the other hand, on S25 i really Asher, Tae, Anya, Kyle, Nathan and Karen. I overall enjoyed these more.

While i understand the hype for those S23 Battles, i prefer L. vs Tae, Madison vs Kyle and even Maddi vs Nádege over those. So, disagree there. And honestly, i always thought Ryley was overrated asf, D. Smooth's style was just not for me and Mannasseh and Mary Kate's only good performances were their battles. S25 Playoff passes >>>>>>>>>

They really don't know what to do with that show, do they??

My unpopular opinion is that i don't think Mafe was that great in her Playoff performance and she deserved to be eliminated. I really don't get the hype.
