are we all finally ready to admit that vocally Joshua has been the best since the live shows or nah ? 

He and Paris I think are the two best vocalists left

I think Hailey, GNT, or Wendy are locks. J and S song sounds nice but reminds me of the CCR song. Maybe it helps because it has the words Jesus, God, and pray, lol

Jershika has a show stopper type song but Im not sure she has the support. I'm not sure Paris has the right song. I have a feeling a Carrie song might be too big for Lana and I dont think Joshua's song is voter bait. I'll throw a wild card anad guess Jershika comes back from the instant save and takes the 4th spot like J and S did last week.

You and half of Sasha's TikTok followers would have to, tbh.

Sasha's followers like his dad?

For Paris I'm gonna guess Try a Little Tenderness

Jim is older (and I think still married) but he's kinda cute. Hey if people can still get away with calling fawning over Clooney and Jackman at 50 +...

Ok I will hang my head in shame

I think ya'll fabricated this. There is nothing on google

First, I'd like to make a correction: abortion is NOT being banned in the Mississippi case. It's being limited to 15 weeks.

 

Did you know that the original version of Roe v. Wade was limited to 20 weeks, except in special cases? Now, it's up to birth in some places, which I find repulsive. You can thank organizations like Planned Parenthood for that, because abortions make them money.

 

I'm not a full-on conservative, and this subject is near and dear to my heart. I've had two abortions--the first when I was 19 and my parents/boyfriend essentially made the decision. The second time I was much older and my soon-to-be husband preferred that I have one. The first one crushed me. The second one was probably a better medical option because I was experiencing some issues. Still, I wonder what kind of life those children may have had.

 

Most of your statement/premise is a bunch of gobbledygook. We still have those problems despite Roe being enacted back in the 70s. Access to abortion didn't change that. You're just trying to guilt-trip people with stupidity.

 

If you turn the authority back to the states, that means each state gets to decide what, if any, limitations to impose on abortion. Therefore, a person can travel somewhere else to get an abortion. So it's not like the world is coming to an end.

 

More important to me is the fact that the father of the child has absolutely no responsibility for the pregnancy/resulting child in the current environment, and abortion has exacerbated this. He can walk off and leave the woman to fend for herself. The father of the child must take responsibility for his actions, not just the woman. I'm not suggesting forced marriage, but forced financial support to prevent the things you talk about.

 

I think that's the biggest fear most women have once they discover they're pregnant--how am I going to support myself and a child? How do I pay the medical bills? Those are serious issues. However, if a woman is getting an abortion just because it interferes with her lifestyle, I suggest she look into better birth control, because abortions do take a toll on the body.

 

First off, I'm sorry you had to go through that.

Mississippi is a little more reasonable as even Europen countries tend to have a cut off at 15-20 weeks. But I'm talking about places like TX and OH where abortion is outlawed effectively once Roe V Wade ends. The ones in most need cant just pick up and travel to another state.

I agree about Fathers but conservative states have less strict laws when it comes to making sure Fathers support the child. They aren't planning on changing that

And if people feel guilty about what I said about crime rates, child abuse, etc that's on them. I'm just stating the logical outcome and they are trying to excuse themselves from it.  People getting defensive is usually a sign they know they may be wrong

Decent chance for a Christmas song or two this week?

So for conservatives here

One of the tenants of conservative ideology is tough on crime. If abortion is effectively banned in red states how do you feel about the inevitable rise in crime, drug use, and child abuse especially in poor communities as a result of unfit parents?

Are you willing to provide more social services to famlies in need?

WOW y’all Holly was singing Adele next week! 

That would be a better choice than Heart or Kelly Clarkson. Girls not a soprano

I think GNT, Hailey, and Wendy are locks. I think Paris has the edge for the 4th spot but I think J and S have more support than people think. They're performances are a wild card but I think they have a better than 20% shot.

For the wild card I dont thinjk Jershika can win it twice in a row. Joshua gets the wild card.

I've always thought J&S were capable, if not stellar, singers.  My issue with them has been that they're had a steady diet of pleasant but not very challenging material and been pretty middle-of-road in performing it - pleasant and sometimes sweet in their harmonies, no real disasters other than the IS song, but that's it. 

 

Never thought that would be enough for TV. They've benefited some from the misfortune of others (like Holly) and they have support coming from somewhere I don't really understand.  Some part of minivan I can see, but only part. SM is such a mess, it's hard to evaluate.

I'm a fan but I think their music is more geared towards studio or radio rather than a nationally televised show. Also they're stylistically quite different from each other.  Both have their own talent but Jim is more folk and this is Sasha's material which is actually more alternative rock. But the latter wouldnt get votes on this show

I think of this from time to time and I’m still not sure if it’s me being extremely biased towards the earlier seasons or if there’s actually a decline in talent. 
 

Maybe the lack of diversity in the voting audience (it was bad before but it’s even worse now that the show has decreased in popularity) leaves no room for underdog runs, and therefore no room for moments?

I didnt really start watching consistently until after the first Idol ended. But I think whatever top 5 we have this season is going to be head and shoulders above last season. Cam was really the only one that I felt did anything to deserve the finale. This year all but two I would say deserve it. And I quite enjoy one of the two acts that probably doesnt.

It´s not for Holly, it´s for Jim and Sasha. Arianators hate them.

Who did they like Bella and Ryleigh? They couldnt even sing in key live dont get why they're mad. Or do they just hate men?

Does this call into question Ari’s voting power, after all she did yesterday to promote the app/voting? 

I think with a better song choice Holly would have been saved. No one can sing that particular song except the artist. I wouldnt even want to hear Whitney in her prime sing it .

Jershika has to win this. I think I'll throw a vote for her

Oh no no. Not because of you. Only Kelly can sing this

That was the best I've heard Jeremy I think

Lmao Carson emphasizing the artists hand selected the songs. Yeah sorry Shadale already told on you

Who tf keeps saving Joshua? Making every song broadway-like doesn't make his performances good. His vocals are awful, he skips a ton of verses when singing and I think his outfit last night was enough to warrant an instant elimination 

Broadway singers are amazing vocalists. Sorry.
