Paris Winningham - What's Going On - 7 Jeremy Rosado - Because You Loved Me - 6.5 Ryleigh Plank - Rhiannon - 6 Girl Named Tom - Dust in the Wind - 9.5 Shadale - Life Is a Highway - 6 Hailey Mia - I'll Stand By You - 7 Wendy Moten - Blue Bayou - 7 Jershika Maple - God Only Knows - 9.5 Jim and Sasha - Your Song - 4 Lana Scott - Humble and Kind - 8 Gymani - Made a Way - 8 Joshua Vacanti - You Will Be Found - 8.5 Holly Forbes - The Dance - 7

I see Wendy and Paris splitting some Team Blake votes so maybe TBTP wanted both to get through to make it easier to bus Blake later on?

Interested if they'll go back to originals for the finale or if they'll do one ballad and one upbeat song.

We have some amazing people but I do feel like we have too many powerhouse belters or whatever. They aren't in the same exact lane but I'd swap two powerhouses for an indie contestant and a rock contestant. Anyway, I feel like everyone but two people are deserving and have already had great performancees in the lives or showed great promise to have one soon.

Can anyone make out what Kelly said to her when the she was revealed as the winner of the WC?

Very insightful.

GNT with Kelly and Jershika with John for me. Also Lana and Blake would be interesting, I think.

Discuss.

Samuel Harness - Before You Go - 7.5 Bella DeNapoli - Ain't No Other Man - 2 Peedy Chavis - Stranger in My House - 7 Hailey Mia - Jar of Hearts - 8 Vaughn Mugol - Lay Me Down - 7

Wait, Kelly will have 6 people for her team performance? Iconic, tbh

1. GNT - the only prelive favorite that survived and didn't disappoint 2. Jershika Maple - her PO wasn't that rough but not as good as I'd expect, it was creative but prelives are carrying her for me 3. Hailey Mia - she came to play, the biggest jump on my ranking, I'd like a little more artistry from her 4. Joshua Vacanti - good job, keep it up 5. Gymani - the second half of her PO was very good and what I wanted from her since the blinds so that gives her some points 6. Paris Winningham - I don't really enjoy his style but this man is a beast and can clearly sing 7. Wendy Moten - honestly, I'm bored with her, was it an outstanding vocal? yes, but did it excite me in any way? tbh, less than Ryleigh's crack 8. Holly Forbes - she's got a cool tone and some nice moments but vocally, she was off 9. Jeremy Rosado - the same as Wendy but vocally inferior 9. Lana Scott - she's there I guess, dislike her tone in the higher register, not very memorable 10. Shadale - I'm unsure, I do find some choices inventive but most don't do it for me, vocals aren't the problem to make it clear 12./13. Jim and Sasha Allen/Ryleigh Plank - they should've gone home, sorry about it but their prelives weren't great to start with but POs were messy as hell

Agree, also I don't think Creep is a song that they usually do. Still, they did well. They'll probably get at least a few song that they are familiar with, like the prelives and those could generate the moments they need to win.

Third, Katie Kadan style. She'll go uptempo next week, too.

If she keeps these modern emo pop ballads, she'll probably be instanly eliminated in the semis. If she ventures into something a little more minivan friendly I could see her in the semis IS and potentially winning it.

The IS video on social media, I'm unsure if I misheard or if Kelly actually said to Hailey: 'I thought you were in my Top 2.'?

Team Kelly's the only one where everyone deserving advanced. Team Ariana took a hit from a specific PV and then Ariana followed it by saving the artist with the second worst performance of the night.

I'm sorry his journey ended like this. His blind is genuinely one my all-time favorites. I replayed it so many times and his KO, too. It's a shame he didn't live up to those performances in the lives. Still, I know his capabilities and will keep an eye on him post show.

They'll go full out with pimping Holly now. She'll close next week, mark my words. I predicted Wendy closing the playoffs and y'all got caught up with patterns and what happened last year with Blake closing

Hailey not cracking under this much pressure makes me think she's a lock for the semis, especially in this Top 13.

TEAM KC SUPREMACY

Hailey or Samuel but heavily leaning Hailey.

Don't get me wrong I love her but imo Bella's got to redeem herself in order to continue on, I'd want her to go in WC and if she can pull if off, great. If not, it's time to go home. The same can be said about Ryleigh and the Allens but I'm not huge on them, anyway. Best case scenario where Holly and Raquel deservingly get voted through, one of those three is still safe without performing tonight. Kinda frustrating. Moreover, Raquel might be robbed of the PV.

Deserved results after tonight: PVs + CS (WC): Kelly - Hailey and GNT + Gymani (Jeremy) John - Joshua and David + Jershika (Shadale) Ariana - Raquel and Holly + Bella (Ryleigh) Blake - Paris and Libianca + Wendy (Lana)

Just because many of my favorites disappointed me, I'm putting everyone's ranking on my prelives rank in the brackets. 1. Hailey Mia (12) 2. Joshua Vacanti (6) 3. Paris Winningham (10) 4. Girl Named Tom (2) 5. Libianca (5) 6. Wendy Moten (8) 7. David Vogel (9) 8. Raquel Trinidad (16) 9. Jershika Maple (3) 10. Holly Forbes (11) 11. Gymani (7) 12. Jeremy Rosado (14) 13. Shadale (13) 14. Lana Scott (19) 15. Katie Rae (20) 16. Peedy Chavis (18) 17. Samuel Harness (1) 18. Bella DeNapolli (4) 19. Ryleigh Plank (17) 20. J&S Allen (15)
