This is just based on loose speculation so don’t take it too seriously lol and it’s hard to say whether the same steals would happen so I noted which teams each contestant was on. Also formats would have to change just for numbers. S21 Semifinals (Top 7) PV: Girl Named Tom PV: Wendy Moten PV: Carson Peters IS: Holly Forbes Eliminated: BrittanyBree Eliminated: Aaron Hines Eliminated: Gymani Finale Winner: Girl Named Tom (Team Kelly) Runner-up: Wendy Moten (Team Blake) Third: Carson Peters (Team Blake) Fourth: Holly Forbes (Team Kelly/Ariana) S20 Finale Winner: Kenzie Wheeler (Team Kelly) Runner-up: Zae Romeo (Team Nick/Kelly) Third: Avery Roberson (Team Blake/Kelly) Fourth: Anna Grace (Team Kelly/Blake) S19 Finale Winner: DeSz (Team Kelly) Runner-up: Worth the Wait (Team Blake) Third: Cami Clune (Team Legend/Kelly) Fourth: Tamara Jade (Team Legend) S18 Semifinals (Top 7) PV:Todd Tighlman PV:Toneisha Harris PV: Thunderstorm Artis IS: Joanna Serenko Eliminated: Nelson Cade III Eliminated: Mike Jerel Eliminated: Mandi Castillo Finale Winner: Todd Tighlman (Team Blake) Runner-up: Toneisha Harris (Team Blake) Third: Thunderstorm Artis (Team Legend/Nick) Fourth: Joanna Serenko (Team Nick/Legend/Blake) S17 Semifinals (Top 8 ) PV: Ricky Duran PV: Brennan Lassiter PV: Katie Kadan IS Winner: Marybeth Byrd IS Eliminated: Preston C Howell IS Eliminated: Shane Q B2 Eliminated: Mendeleyev B2 Eliminated: Khalea Lynee Finale Winner: Ricky Duran (Team Blake) Runner-up: Brennan Lassiter (Team Kelly) Third: Katie Kadan (Team Legend) Fourth: Marybeth Byrd (Team Legend)

Yeah and pretty much every performance is on the scale of meh-decent. Yk pretty neutral on all accounts. 1. Micah Iverson and Gigi Hess (S18) 2. Gihanna Zöe (S20) 3. Hailey Mia (S21) 4. Lain Roy (S19) 5. Matthew McQueen (S17)

Girl Named Tom and Jim & Sasha Allen: Something with thick harmonies like Some Nights by Fun., Afterglow by Ed Sheeran, or Seven Wonders by Fleetwood Mac Jershika Maple and Paris Winningham: Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder and Missing You by Tina Turner came to mind idk Lana Scott and Hailey Mia (we just saw in Top 10 that they can cross into each other's genres): you should be sad by Halsey or anything else that meets in the middle of their genres (maybe Taylor Swift) Wendy Moten and Joshua Vacanti (leftover, wouldn't be terrible): If I Could Turn Back Time by Cher off the top of my head Other duets that would be cool: Lana Scott and Girl Named Tom (GNT vs Kinsey vibes): Keeping Score by Dan + Shay (feat. Kelly Clarkson), Babe by Taylor Swift, or Little White Church by Little Big Town Jershika Maple and Wendy Moten: Man! I Feel Like a Woman by Shania Twain or (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin Girl Named Tom and Wendy Moten: idk what they would sing but I'd love to see the two best acts on the show perform together. I'm imagining something like Rocket Man by Elton John but Holly already did that this season. (a plus for these pairings is that no one is performing with someone already from their team, i.e., someone they've performed with before)

1. Girl Named Tom 2. Wendy Moten 3. Hailey Mia 4. Lana Scott 5. Joshua Vacanti 6. Jershika Maple 7. Paris Winningham 8. Jim & Sasha Allen

What if S19 had a Top 13? Team Kelly PV: DeSz PV: Cami Clune/Tanner Gomes CS: Cami Clune/Tanner Gomes Team Gwen PV: Carter Rubin PV: Payge Turner CS: Ben Allen Team Legend PV: John Holiday PV: Tamara Jade CS: Bailey Rae Team Blake PV: Ian Flanigan PV: Jim Ranger CS: Worth the Wait Wild Card: Winner: Sid Kingsley/Taryn Papa??? Eliminated: Chloé Hogan, Madeline Consoer, Joseph Soul, Sid Kingsley/Taryn Papa What if S18 had a Top 13? Team Kelly PV: Micah Iverson PV: Megan Danielle CS: Cedrice (I wouldn't put it past Kelly to pick Cedrice over Mandi. It'd be similar her to her picking Cami over Madeline and Tanner in S19). Team Nick PV: Thunderstorm Artis PV: Allegra Miles CS: Arei Moon Team Legend PV: CammWess PV: Zan Fiskum/Mandi Castillo CS: Zan Fiskum/Mandi Castillo Team Blake PV: Todd Tilghman PV: Toneisha Harris CS: Joanna Serenko Wild Card: Winner: I could see any one of Mandi Thomas, Michael Williams, or Joei Fulco winning Eliminated: Mike Jerel, Roderick Chambers, Mandi/Michael/Joei

right lemme just read 1017 pages real quick

Okay thanks I've been out of the loop this season but that's how I was hoping it would go. I prefer 4 person finales but this will make the semis less of a bloodbath so that's a plus

Do we have any idea if we'll have a 4 or 5 person finale?

John Holiday didn’t necessarily “kill” Julia and Cami because neither were eliminated then but still

Damn I was this close to putting “Go Your Own Way” for these three.

?

I saw Max Boyle and Kyndal Inskeep live (she opened for him). Max opened with Wayfairing Stranger and also sang when the party’s over and some original stuff. They also sang Shallow as a duet which was I haven’t been able to meet any contestants but I have mutual friends with Max Boyle and Rio Doyle because they’re from the area I live in.

Because TPTB won't cast more than a few to check the diversity box, but they'll cast white men who sing country till they die.

Could not have said it better myself.

Based on genre, I think the trios that make the most sense are Victor Solomon Pia Renee Dana Monique Gihanna Zoe Corey Ward* Cam Anthony Rachel Mac* Jordan Matthew Young Kenzie Wheeler Some potential song choices could be: "Ghost" by Ella Henderson for Victor, Dana, and Pia "My My My!" by Troye Sivan for Gihanna, Corey, and Cam "Don't Stop" by Fleetwood Mac for Jordan, Rachel, and Kenzie Literally anything that's better than Pompeii for anyone *I could potentially see them switching Rachel and Corey because of how everyone's voices would sound together, rather than genres.
