What kind of middle american values does Ryan represents, though? Considering he didn't spoke much about anything other than "my momma had COVID. Now she's recovering"? 

Formed my opinion from news articles, interviews and own observations. I recall that he was raised in MI, went to catholic school until about 5 I think, then worked in his father's construction all through high school. Spent time in Nashville and now LA. Close ties to his family which seems rare these days. Benefit concerts, has appeared humble to the core (even when he first lost) and IMO just demonstrates values which stand for our country. However, enjoy the numerous articles and videos yourself if you wish further unbiased input. Off to Macy's parade and football. Happy Thanksgiving!

isn't it a guess or opinion..how is that a spoiler?

 

So I found it. The moderator had just posted:

Some posts have been moved to General Discussion thread  if you want to discuss what has already shown on the voice, general comments, or past stuff please use that thread

Some of my posts had just been moved (I recall). So my question really was directed at the moderators. Yes, the post in question were guesses/opinions which I suppose should have been on General Discussion and not spoilers. THAT was my point. FYI, they did not move that post or reply to mine to clarify. It's just a crap shoot on here to decide where to post what... most confusing. Hope this helps.

I wasn’t paying attention to the reception of the 4WKO last night so is there any chance that Ryan doesn’t win? I’m worried he’s going to take away PV from DesZ and Julia had one of my favorite performances. I would be content with any of the other 3 going through but based on SM and IDF it seems inevitable that Ryan’s going through right?

Always a chance But actually it looks pretty good for Ryan right now. Votes are in so we'll find out Mon!

Definitely not country per se. IMO he really needs to set himself apart from the masses and stick with genres he's most comfortable with. He should get Minivan's support and the casual support just by being himself, performing well. He easily represents middle America, its values, work ethic and the positive message he seems to exude is what IMO we need these days! I just listened to both Rhapsody and Harrison's Broken Vow (which I play regularly because it is inspiring performance) and agree that either of those could fit Ryan well and be a win. Something like Because We Believe or to a lesser extent Nessun Dorma from his homepage might also work. Would something like You'll Never Walk Alone work for The Voice audience? Just want him to find songs which showcase his incredible sound, pitch, etc. He could kill everyone IMO.

22 hours ago is a lifetime on IDF I'll try to go back and find the thread to see what it was about. I just recall being very confused myself about what and what is not spoiler. I was even corrected by several on here about it. I'll get back to you.

I swear I read it on his IG page in the comments on one of his lives.. and I think somebody mentioned seeing  it there as well on this fourm. Country opera, this is why I have trust issues!!

As in Kelli O'Hara??? Not funny

That's a good one, but country opera.. who suggested that to him? 

 

 

country opera where in the world did you hear that? not from me I hope.

Yep. Even though this song has been done to death on singing competition shows, Ryan would kill it and straight up go to the finale. 

@Misirloujust suggested "You Raise Me Up" on another thread

Just thought about it, and even though it´s cliched AF, just give Ryan the always reliable "You Raise Me Up" and he goes straight to the finale.

Wow! Excellent suggestion. Showcases all his strengths, hits the gut and familiar. Can we put suggestion on some SM where he'd see it?

Gwen did the exact same thing, twice on every platform - I actually thought the voice team was doing it 

Is Blake following Gwen's lead or visa versa?

Payge for this season.

I wanted to wait until KOs ended to make my prediction. I'm going to go out on a limb here. Let's assume the format is the same as last season for the sake of this post.

 

Playoffs:
Kelly - Ryan PV, DeSz CS, Tanner WC

 

Gwen - Carter PV, Payge CS, Ben WC

John - Tamara PV, John H CS, Bailey WC

 

Blake - Jim PV, WTW CS, Ian WC (Winner)

 

Top 9:

 

Kelly - Ryan PV, DeSz WC (Winner)

 

Gwen - Carter PV

 

John - Tamara PV

 

Blake - Jim PV

 

Final 5:

 

5th Place - Tamara

 

4th Place - DeSz

 

3rd Place - Carter

 

2nd Place - Jim

 

Winner - Ryan

 

I'm fairy certain the top 3 is kinda set in stone, but stranger things have happened.

This. Really like your thinking!

IMO TPTB will not sit still for an all-male finale...regardless of which ones. There should definitely be a female.

PV: Jim

CS: WTW (unfortunately)

Marisa was both good and robbed.

Cami >> Sid=Chloe >>>>>>>>>Ben

Agreed, I´m kind of worried for his playoffs song selection. I wouldn´t be surprised if he pulls out (or is assigned) something wacky that will get him eliminated, I would prefer him to stick to what he does best. Either way, I don´t see him doing AC/DC or Guns N Roses when he mentions rock, I see him doing that classifies as rock but perhaps is a bit more stripped down. (Please no Dream On tho). If he goes country, Goodbye Time would actually be a good song for him honestly, I could see him doing that one. 

 

I geniuenly don´t know what to expect, but hopefully he makes it past the playoffs.

Is it ever the case where a contestant can say no to something obviously wacky and do something else?

I still believe he should stay true to himself and not let them push him outside reality.

Tanner, Sid and Ben

TBH I actually expected Taryn to be very competitive in the KO. @Bk1234's optimism was taking its toll LOL. Sorry she did not perform to expectations but do wish her the best.

Forcing all 4 of them to probably have to stick around over Thanksgiving is harsh. If each has indeed already recorded their PO songs, then why would it not be fair to all of them to at least air partial clips or montage from all?
