I like everyone in the Finale and I'm looking forward to their performances next week

If this is referencing Ariana, then that's probably because greatest vocalist does not equate to greatest coach or strategist she can learn from this and go on her merry way, she's already got the bag.

I'M SO HYPED LET'S GO JERSHIKA

Jim deserved to speak but I guess he's just not the type to be public about himself and his feelings

Y'all saying Arianators will vote J&S through when I saw a bunch of them on a Hail Mary saying Ariana will be fine and coaches have been contestant-less on finale before so vote for Jershika tonight, is low-key hilarious

My prayers answered

(The meltdowns are entertaining ngl and this has relatively been a predictable night)

Come on Jershika!!!

Seems they ran dry on the good songs for J&S

Please Jershikaaa

They might pimp Joshua again, no? But hoping Jershika clears the way.

Hailey should make it through. See after all the catastrophizing, the TK/TB PVs did pan out after all

I won't be able to watch so I'm relying on this thread to update me on the situation

Team Legend's stats are so low it's making me lose hope. But Paris is within reach. If he doesn't get in on PV it's because J&S leapfrogged him somehow. I'm a bit confused as to how J&S were treates this round given so many people swore up and down they'd be pushed as Ariana's last act. It didn't feel like that night except for Carson's reminders.

At the rate we're going I'm starting to think that the surprise might be if the forecasted four PV locks do shake out as expected

I was honestly confident of a Joshua PV after his performance, it was a collusion of good omens. But seeing initial reception it seems not as well-received as I thought it would be. Seems he's contending with Jershika, after all.

I'm very skeptical of the J&S spoiler. I don't think a Twitter vote would be well-received either. Right now I'm wavering over whether or not Jershika might have a better chance than I originally thought, she might be the surprise (which I'm very much welcoming).

See I was going to say I had my doubts, but I remembered how badly Ariana wanted a powerhouse vocal that she pushed Holly onto that track. The difference is Wendy could have comfortably handled that branding as that is her lane.

Kelly deserves the W. She's done well strategically this season. I'm already wondering what will happen in a season without Blake. Miss Kelly Clarkson domination?

I can understand negative reception on the basis of J&S not being as strong vocalists/not being as dynamic as the other contestants on the show, though I acknowledge they have a niche for their type of music and people have liked them enough to vote them through when stronger vocalists don't perform to standard. However their comments lately have started to veer straight into the territory of personal attacks, which I'm just not here for.

Top 5 right there, I think

They really did so well my heart is happy! More good moments than bad. At the moment, I think PVs should be GNT, Wendy, Joshua, and one of Paris/Hailey but either can absolutely slay any IS, so I'm going with these as Top 5. Great night!

Damn, Paris swept through that song. I don't know if song choice helps him, but he delivered on it. Also Blake whyyy

Bit early to tell but getting more convinced by the possible Joshua PV as the performances go by, and less convinced any snowflake killing via J&S will happen

Joshua closing IKTR
