Nah I think Rodney's point is accurate. Raquel had the strongest performance of the three but had the least hype going into that week. Strategically, Bella's style would've been more likely to go a bit further than either Ryleigh or Raquel would have. There was no logical reason to pick Ryleigh besides emotion. I feel like even if Bella had performed well/not gotten TSE as her song and the PVs stayed the same, Ari still would've gone for Ryleigh.

Idk I just think the Bella we were seeing in the lives wasn't even a shell of what she gave us in the audition/battles. I couldn't see her picking it back up. Ryleigh showed a lot of potential in the first 3 rounds, and while her playoff wasn't great, she at least showed some strength in her voice that Bella didn't have imo. I think with a better song choice and arrangement Ryleigh could pick it back up. I do think Raquel had the best performance, but I knew she didn't have a chance at going through.

Yeah, Raquel's only chance was Ariana's coach save, and she would've gotten it had Ariana been going by performance.  Had she been going by strategy, it was quite likely that, despite her complete flop, Bella would've gotten the save instead.  The Ryleigh pick was out of nothing but complete emotion from Ariana, and it's going to bite her in the butt.

Uhh gonna bite her in the butt how? With how bad Bella sounded in her last 2 performances, she wasn't going to make it any farther than Ryleigh is going to make it. It's not like Bella would have gone on to make the finale had Ariana picked her.

huh? I read the spoilers when they are available, but when they’re not available, we’re in the same position as everyone else. That’s all. 
 

Get some perspective. You make it sound like you’re entitled to spoilers.

How does their statement "Then we should not know which song the contestants Will perform until the show begins …" make them sound entitled? Seems like a pretty plain statement to me. Not that big of a deal.
