She said it in quotations, and it was in the context of how she was raised. I don't see why Gene would be taken aback unless she actually had that opinion herself I also don't think the audience cares much. AI has been pretty rock friendly going way back.

Speaking of Nathan. I like his first 2 performances more than these last 2. And as far as male soul singers on the show go, he doesn't stand out or interest me as much. He's still one of the best performers every round though.

Ashers highs are definitely not on the level of someone like Gene or even Bryan where its crystal clear and seemingly effortless. But i actually like the sound he produces up there. It sounds as if he's just at the cusp of his range like its about to break. But he doesnt, so it gives a bit of savage quality to the belts, if that makes any sense? The ending high notes to his KO are a good example of what I'm trying to describe lol. I do agree it would sound even better if it was more "full"

I can see the Garcia twins having a breakout performance. Their KO is pretty underrated. Not amazing, but really solid. One of the better ones. Like Zoe, they've gotten better every round. Though tbh I've preferred the twins in every round ..

All this talk of rock singers is making me miss Gene ;(

Can't speak for everyone but for me it's about the talent at the end of the day even if some people undeservedly leave or stay in the comp. I do think AI has consistently wowed me more, while TV is a bit more consistent per performance. Tonight was excellent, but let's see how TV contestants perform live.

Add Tasha, Kylee, Michael B, Ali, Cait to the list.

Guess my unpopular opinion was that Bryan and Karen were the 2nd weakest of their respective teams I also enjoyed Kamalei more than Olivia, who I think was the "weak" link tonight. And at the risk of sounding like a Cami alt account..Mafe was STILL the best of the night! (It's really close for me though tbf)

I honestly don't know. Relistening to some performances atm but based off what I first heard. A 1. Mafe 2. Madison 3. Tae 4. Zoe B+ 5. Nathan 6. Bryan 7. Anya B 8. Karen 9. Kamalei 8. Olivia Zoe's growth arc is insane though. She went from bad, decent, good and now great.

Also, since I was listening to both AI and The Voice at the same time. First time I can actually say TV completely outsold tonight. (Not exactly fair since AI is live, but still)

Her battle is still one of the best in recent memory imo.

There goes 2 of the best singers in the competition To be honest, even if they killed it, I doubt they would have made it far. Unfortunately their fate was sealed But yeah, wish they went out on a stronger note..they both gave their weakest performances tbh

Yeah.. as predicted. I still think Mafe gave the best performance of the night.

I loveee Anya's voice. But it wasn't a huge loss imo. Although I would have picked her over Karen for just tonight.

Tbh I thought Karen had one of the weakest of the night.. but I guess I can't be too mad.

I agree in terms of seperation but talking about quality of performance.

To be fair to Desz. Hers was the only live performance. I thought it was good, just an odd song choice especially considering it was the finale.

OK so I think the worst performance tonight was merely "good". Great episode. I dont think anyone had a Gina, Kala, Ruby level PO but might be the most consistently good PO episode.

That was very pretty. Probably the 2nd best version of this song on the show.

Madison is really good but she hasn't really intrigued me so far. Hope she can Edit: Landslide? Oof..

Nathan, Bryan and Mafe for me.

Tbh, McKenna still sounds sick. But she was mostly on pitch, and her tone is gorgeous enough to carry a song by itself. Put her through!

OK Zoe. Better sustain those notes!. Her best easily. That was very good. Wish the belts were a tad bit more powerful but that's just me being nitpicky. I still prefer Mafe tho

Yeah I'm worried for her when it comes to the belts. Hope she proves me wrong.

Oh boy, ok then. Imma try and keep an open mind..
