  4. I haven't watched every season yet (no Maelyn, Addison, Danielle, etc) so this may change:

    Rose Short

    Christina Grimmie

    Megan Danielle

    Anna Grace

    Livia Faith

    Julia Cooper

    Jaclyn Lovey

  5. Honestly, it's pretty much Cam > Gihanna > everyone else, but here goes:

     

    1. Cam A near-flawless performance. He came to slay, as usual.

    2. Gihanna This song was either going to be a capital-m Moment for her or a huge fail, and I'm so glad it was the former! She killed this.

    3. Pia Super strong, if not as exciting as she needed to be. She was awesome in the trio performance, though

    4. Victor This should have been a slam dunk, but it was just fine. 

    5. Kenzie A little pitchy and disappointing, but only compared to how strong he's been before this. Definitely enough to get him the PV (even though it should be Gihanna)

    6. Corey Shakier than usual, and the song choice didn't allow for as much emotion. Still, he leaves it all on the stage, and that counts for something

    7. Rachel A few impressive moments, but messy overall. 

    8. Dana Yikes. She deserved the PV last week, so I hoped she would get it now, but this wasn't it.

    9. Jordan Vocally he was better than Dana and Rachel, but I totally forgot about him, which might be worse

  6. Snowflake

     

    Cam Anthony

     

    Fantastic all around

     

    Gihanna Zoe

    Corey Ward

    Dana Monique

     

    Amazing vocalist (so-so performer)

     

    Kenzie Wheeler

     

    Great at some point

     

    Jordan Matthew Young (in the POs)

    Victor Solomon (only in his blind - I hope they give him gospel this time around!)

     

    Good

     

    Rachel Mac - She's had an amazing growth arc, but so has Gihanna, and I like Gihanna's tone much more

    Pia Renee

     

    Should have been here

     

    Ryleigh Modig!

  8. Yikes

     

    17. Devan: Picked an absurdly easy song and still couldn't stay on pitch. Even if I weren't mad about Savanna this would be dead last.

    16. Zania: A mess, so disappointing. 

    15. Andrew: Poor Andrew got bussed with the song choice, and those high notes didn't help.

    14. Zae: Rough all around.

     

    Decent

     

    13. Jose: Just meh. 

    12. Pete: Solid as always, but a little karaoke.

    11. Victor: I think he was solid vocally but I couldn't hear him? Anyway, good performance but he still hasn't lived up to the promise of his blind

    10. Pia: Great vocal, but a little boring. She didn't have a moment, and she needed to

     

    Good

     

    9. Rachel Mac: I wasn't a fan of all of her choices, but this was good. Not as polished as her KO though

    8. Corey: Had a few rough parts, but when he was good, he was great

    7. Ryleigh: I love her tone, and the song was perfect for her, but some parts still felt a little off? Anyway, the best Team Legend performance by a mile

     

    Beautiful

     

    6. Kenzie: This wasn't the most exciting song for him, but even so his vocals are undeniable. That tone!

    5. Gihanna: She lost control a little at the end, but the beginning was so good, she's still in my top 5 of the night. Her growth arc is so underrated.

    4. Jordan: I can't believe I'm ranking Jordan so high. The song choice was perfect, his performance was controlled and passionate. His experience is definitely shining through!

    3. Anna Grace: Gorgeous, haunting, and controlled. Exactly what I've been wanting from her.

     

    SLAYED

     

    2. Cam: His worst performance so far, but that's just a testament to how good he is. He slayed this.

    1. Dana: QUEEN.

    10. Corey and Savanna - Dreams

  12. Great:

     

    1. Corey: He's so emotionally connected it's scary. If it weren't for Kenzie and the country vote, I'd put money on him being in the finale.

    2. Pia: Super controlled, gorgeous performance, and of course emotional. This was a breakout for her.

    3. Dana: She killed it, as always. Maybe not her most exciting performance, but her worst is better than most people's best.

    4. Ryleigh: She didn't sound quite as good as she did in rehearsal, and it wasn't the song I'd pick for her, but her head voice vibrato is so lovely. She deserved the triple steal.

     

    Decent:

     

    5. Victor: There was nothing wrong with this performance, but he's losing frontrunner status to me. He's just not bringing it the way he should at this stage.

    6: Ciana: I liked this performance more than other people, it seems. It certainly wasn't perfect, but she swung for the fences and showed a lot of potential. She deserved to lose to Pia, but she also deserved a steal way more than Andrew imo.

    7. Jordan: His vocals were good, but he weirdly wasn't connecting with the song at all, even though he had a very personal and sad story to go along with it. I wish Ethan had given Blake a reason to pick him, because he's a much more interesting performer overall.

     

    Decent performance and terrible song choice:

     

    8. Pete: This song was so wrong for him, it was almost comical, but he did a fine job considering.

    9. Ethan: This reminded me of his blind - it didn't showcase the best (read: deepest) parts of his voice, and his inexperience showed. A huge disappointment after his Battle performance.

     

    Not quite there:

     

    10. Andrew: Super pitchy and whispery at the beginning, but then he almost redeemed himself with the high notes.

    11. Gean: He seemed really nervous, which caused some pitch problems, and the song didn't go anywhere. His tone is so unique, but based on this performance he deserved to go home.

    12. Keegan: Extremely pitchy and off the whole time. He has a nice tone, but I still think Nick should have stolen Durell.

    Anna Grace vs Ainae

    Gihanna vs Halley

    Kenzie vs JD (Kenzie was great, but JD was so outclassed it was just awkward)

     

    This is definitely the strongest bunch of battles! Some were stronger than others, but none were complete misfires

    Zania vs Durell

  16. This was a weird night. I hated almost all of the song choices
     
    1. Pete Mroz vs. Savanna Chestnut. Very pretty! Not super memorable, but it was a good song choice and they sounded good together, which is more than I can say for any of the other battles. I personally like Savanna's tone better, and I wonder if they shortclipped to cut her more impressive moments. But from what we saw Pete was the winner. 
     
    2. Victor vs. Deion. They both did a meh job compared to their blinds (although the choreo was adorable). The song choice really favored Deion, but Victor had more power and control. It also looks like Deion had pitch issues that were corrected by the producers. Kind of disappointing overall, but only because they both had such great auditions.
     
    3. Rachel vs. Bradley. Super solid. They both stepped it up from blinds. Rachel still does a little too much vibrato for my taste, but if she keeps stepping it up each week, she could go far. 
     
    4. Anna Grace vs Ainae. The song was too low and mature for them (why would you pair two ethereal singers and then not give them an ethereal song?), but I thought they both did a great job with what they were given. Ainae clearly connected to the song a little more, but Anna Grace was more impressive vocally. 
     
    5. Kenzie vs. JD. Kenzie had the best individual performance by a landslide. He'll probably win the whole thing. JD did fine, but the mismatch made the battle awkward - he was clearly cannon fodder. 
     
    6. Rio vs Carolina. Carolina started a little shaky, then got a lot better by the end. Rio was great throughout. I'm surprised either of them did as well as they did - the song choice was super weird and the arrangement was terrible. 
     
    7. Raine vs Andrew. Well, this was a head-scratcher. If Nick was determined to pick Raine no matter how badly she did, then why did he pick a song that is so clearly in Andrew's pocket? I'm shocked they didn't montage this. Anyway, I like Raine, but Andrew clearly won, and deserved the steal.
  17. From the seasons I've seen:

     

    S17: Team Gwen - Rose Short vs Jessie Lawrence "Can't Feel My Face"

    Team Legend - Katie Kadan vs Destiny Rayne "Tiny Dancer"

     

    S18: Team Nick - Allegra Miles vs Michael Williams "How Will I Know"

    Team Kelly - Micah Iverson vs Gigi Hess "Someone You Loved"

    Team Kelly - Megan Danielle vs Samantha Howell "Top of the World"

     

    S19: Team Gwen - Payge Turner vs Lauren Frihauf "If the World Was Ending"

    Team Gwen - Carter Rubin vs Larriah Jackson "Like I'm Gonna Lose You"

     

    S20 (so far): Team Kelly - Ryleigh Modig vs Gean Garcia "pov"

    Team Blake - Ethan Lively vs Avery Roberson "Just Got Started Lovin' You"

     

    Out of these, my favorites are Allegra vs Michael and Payge vs Lauren. Also, Gwen and Kelly have the best battles!

  18. Great

     

    1. Corey vs Savanna: The only ones who had real chemistry tonight. They sounded like a duo.

     

    Good

     

    2. Zania vs Durell: They were good! Not a super memorable battle, but they both had beautiful vocals. Nick should have stolen Durell.

     

    Meh

     

    3. Cam vs Emma: Their harmony sounded good in parts, but Cam is just so much stronger, it was a little awkward. A super weird choice for a save.

    4. Gihanna v Halley: The song choice was weird for both of them, but Gihanna ended up killing it. Halley was pretty off - it sounded like she was much better in rehearsals. Her whistle note was beautiful, though.

     

    Weird AF

     

    5. Zae vs Lindsay: I guess this is an unpopular opinion, but I didn't like Lindsay's performance at all - I felt like she was screaming. I could barely hear Zae, but thought he deserved the win.

    6. Jordan vs Keegan: Truly bizarre song choice for both of them, but Jordan still sounded great. Keegan's high notes were good, but he sounded thin overall. I'm surprised Nick decided to steal him.

     

    Unjustly montaged

     

    Ciana vs Denisha: Seriously? I don't care how bad it was - it couldn't have been worse/weirder than Keegan vs Jordan. At least release the full performance on YouTube!

  19. I'm a new viewer, and only now catching up on previous seasons. But here are my favorites:

     

    S20 (so far): Cam "Lay Me Down" / Ryleigh and Gean "pov"

    S19: Cami "Skinny Love" / Carter "You Say"

    S18: Allegra and Michael "How Will I Know"
