Emmy could win. We’re overdue for a female winner and she’s peaking at the right time. She’d have to be literally flawless this week and next to pull it off, but it isn’t impossible

I think the rehearsal footage and singing her grandmother's signature country song this week really helped Emmy a lot. The judges have been patient and kind toward her all season, and I suspect a lot of viewers have been rooting for her from the start. So I don't think she has to be flawless, but she can't completely flop.

The single has to be coming soon, right??? For some reason I had April or May in my head, but maybe I made that up or maybe things changed. 

I hope so. On her 01/23/24 TikTok video, Grace said it was tracking day for a song "I'm releasing in spring." If she was speaking literally, that would mean between March 19 and June 19. But I haven't seen an update with the exact release date.

Her intro is funny.

 

I just remembered that Josh and Kameron Marlowe from s15 have the same hometown.

If you scroll down the insider article you see

 

Originally published May 19, 2023.

 

So they probably just use old post and change a few thing and repost without checking anything.

Yeah, they probably just forgot to change the number when they updated the article yesterday.

Considering what happened in Blake's final season, the amount of help contestants are given in the lives probably depends on whether their coach is returning. If Reba isn't coming back but John is, I think TPTB will want the show's "senior coach" to finally get his second win.

Here the official Press Release. Which I think more reliable than the "insider" website

"THE VOICE"

"LIVE SEMI-FINAL PERFORMANCES"

ORIGINAL

05/13/2024 (08:00PM - 10:00PM) (Monday)    : The top 9 artists perform hometown dedications in front of coaches Chance the Rapper, Dan + Shay, John Legend and Reba McEntire for their chance in the Live Finale. Viewers will have the chance to vote for their favorite artist overnight.

I'd prefer this semifinals format, which lets another singer perform again. Maybe the NBC-Insider article will be updated to correct the information, which still says May 13 features the Top 8.

I think one Disney song is more than enough. 

I thought they might revisit season 18's theme of one Disney song and one song honoring mothers.

Ryan said contestants will perform two Disney songs on May 12, which is Mother's Day.

I’ve learned more than I’ve ever wanted to about feral hogs over the past day, but it is a fact they destroy crops, reproduce quickly and are dangerous to humans. They are capable of destroying and entire field of soybeans in a matter of days. They are a menace, and have to be dealt with. This isn’t just hunting for “fun.” From many comments I’ve seen, the dogs don’t actually kill the hog. They track them down and flush them out, before eventually being shot. Apparently, these hogs have learned to evade traps and humans, which is why the dogs are needed. 

"They can deliver tremendous damage to the human body in a matter of seconds in a very gruesome manner."

"In 2024 alone, there have already been seven deaths from wild pig incidents."

I watched "What Makes You Country" again this morning. I like how Will interacted with Triston, Luke, and the audience during the performance. If the duet were a battle on The Voice, I think Will would've won.

I wonder what he'll perform for Adele Night and Songs That Make Me Wanna Dance on Sunday.

 

Will needs two Disney songs for the May 12 episode. I've always liked "Our Town" by James Taylor from Cars. In s18, Dillon James covered it when the Top 7 performed a Disney song and a song for Mother's Day. He advanced to the finale via votes.

Season 25 TikTok Stats - Top 12

Note: I didn't collect data on some contestants before 03/13/24 and didn't find the active account of L. Rodgers until 04/30/24.

Maddi (Madeleine) Jane (Gray)

excerpt from Lyndsey Parker's recap:

Will Moseley, "Folsom Prison Blues"

Big Mo's other options were Whiskey Myers's "Stone" and Chris Stapleton's "White Horse," and I'm so glad he didn't go with the obvious, low-hanging-fruit choice (Stapleton) and chose Johnny Cash's outlaw-country classic. This man-in-black was a badass, and he looked like he was having a ton of freewheeling fun. The energy in the room was high, with the judges and audience on their feet throughout. "If you give it, you will get it back," Katy noted. Will correctly guessed that Lionel Richie selected this song for him, because Lionel always keeps it old-school. And Lionel was delighted, telling Will, "You killed it." Katy admitted that "Lionel was right," declaring this Will's best performance yet.

excerpt from Mark Franklin's recap:

Will says he's going to put his own little spin on it and calls it his favorite cover song on the show so far. Oh, yeah, this is gonna be good. Great job by Will. He put his own stamp on the song. He had fun, even running the oval behind the judges while playing guitar. And he sounded great. That capped a great week for Will and might have been his best performance to date. Lionel suggested that song. And said he killed it. Grade: A

https://idolchatteryd.com/song-by-song-grades-for-the-top-8-on-american-idol-7

Chris Nelson, another country artist from Georgia, is pulling for Will.

He commented on Will's post about voting:

"Last night was wild! But, tonight is the Judge Song Contest! Whose song did I pick? I'll also need your votes to keep me in the #Top7!"

Time for this hick to go home

I wish people would refrain from using rude, derogatory terms when referring to contestants.

After the Top 12 results show, BetOnline odds have Will as the new favorite to win.
