None of the confirmed names jump out to me as people I’ve anxiously been waiting to hear,  but I always try to stay optimistic. Even though some episodes flop pretty much entirely, the unexpectedly great auditions that for some reason don’t get 4 chair turns tend to keep me excited (I’ve been repeating Zach, Tayler, and Joei’s auditions a lot)

 

If Michael Williams and Mandi Castillo confirm, we can get both of the Jacobs, Mandis, and Mike/Michaels in the same episode though lol.

Nope.

Each episode has been worse than the one before it, and we're only three episodes in...This season is a bust! With the exception of, maybe, two artists, the blind auditions have been some of the worst we've seen. I hope things pick up as the season unfolds, but I'm not getting my hopes up for that!

I'm not impressed with this leaked audition. Still underwhelmed with this season except for a few.

Not giving up yet, but true, there are some warning signs. And not sure they won't eff up with Thunderboy either. The show has a bad track record when it comes to indie-alt-folk AA males. Next thing ya know they'll have him sing Percy Sledge. Matt Schuler anyone? Hopefully the season will surprise us in a good way. :cake:

That’s usually what happens when the coach tries to reinvent the wheel. If we ever see him perform without his guitar (or piano), it will be a bad sign. Since he’ll be on the new coach’s team, there won’t be any excuses other than coach/TPTB incompetence if he doesn’t at least make the finale.

Not really. Zan is one of the only remaining that excites. Jon Mullins does have a pretty good voice but his style is drab. I could see him go far. I am looking forward to Cedrice Webber... I think she’s a true standout. But based on demographics the voice won’t like her. She’s the best and most authentic soul singer this season by a mile.

I know that you know we will definitely see him perform without his guitar 😁. His new coach will give the tired old speech that his guitar is a crutch and he should just take the stage and sing. Seeing as we know who the new coach is, we should all expect major blunders...Nick was given a gift and I can't help but think he is going to mess it up bad.

Yep, even Sawyer was forced to sing without his guitar once. Part of me doesn’t have any sympathy for them, because we have females on every season, not allowed to play guitar even once, who never perform without a guitar outside of the show. They are definitely sexist in that way. I still remember Blake telling Mary Sarah to lose the guitar in the rehearsal, because “they want to see you move around.” She’s a good player too. Addison is another glaring example.

I'm excited for her, too. Shame she was the last audition so we have to keep waiting.

While we don't know who Kelly's save is - we know her team going into PO's so far consists of:

-Megan Danielle

-Micah Iverson

-Cedrice Webber (KO steal)

-winner of Mandi Thomas/unknown fellow battle winner - female

 

I'd guess Mandi/Samantha with Samantha having a slight edge at being the 4th spot over Mandi, but I think that puts Cedrice in a good spot for a PV if they do 2 contestants per coach again. Megan hasn't shown she's good enough for a PV yet, Micah doesn't strike me as a strong contender since the source preferred Tayler and said even the other coaches thought Tayler should've won that KO. Cedrice has a good chance at being in the top 2 for her team with a good performance (which she's undoubtedly very capable of giving). I'd assume Samantha (if she wins her battle and KO) would get the other spot.

Matt Schuler was voted off because he shredded his voice, not because of song choices. Obviously, it would have been nice if he (and Xtina) had enough base support to get a free pass, but c’est la vie.

Maybe, even though I'm betting on Megan to get the PV... I feel she has more potential and can surprise us if Kelly coaches her well. And the audience might like her.

I feel like Megan could go deep and maybe even pull a Chevel like run if it were a normal paced season, but on a quick season like this IMO unless you’re a powerhouse or you hit the gate running there’s no time for you to catch up and establish yourself in the competition.

You're right about that.

To be fair, there’s only one other performance on Youtube plus her blind, but I don’t see Megan getting very far, even if she gets a playoff public vote (a decent possibility on that team). She’s very inexperienced, and it shows. She’s 18 now, like Joanna. They don’t get the benefit of “only 16,” etc.

Regarding this, Gigi is definitely tomorrow and Michael Williams has begun heavily hinting he’s tomorrow as well. Confirming at least 9 for tomorrow - possibly another few with a montage mixed in since that would leave 10 names for the final episode.

Gotta show my love and support for Gigi. She was a good friend in college. Excited to see what she can do on a bigger stage!

There's one performance that I think is pretty special, I don't think they'll use it for the leaked performance though.


The editing is almost as important as the performance. They can make a bad performance passable, and a great performance seem just decent, with sound editing, camera angles, lighting, coach comments, and what they leave on the cutting room floor. And, of course, the personality of the contestant plays a huge role in viewer perception, and ultimately vote potential. Every season is driven by an agenda (script). At this point, most of the intrigue of a season for me is trying to figure out what that agenda is. 🙂

So I think it’s safe to say that we’re getting one of Brittney Allen, Mandi Castillo, Or Zan Fiskum since there is a slot left open for Team John in todays episode. I’m just not sure which one yet since none of them has been very vocal about appearing today.

I think we’re going to get Cam Spinks tonight. He hardly ever posts anything relating to the show, and he went on his story to remind people to watch The Voice tonight....”you might see me, you might not...who knows.”
