Most Wasteful Steals In The History Of The Voice


FloorWax

Recommended Posts

Shakira wasted all her steals in the Battles of season 6. And Gwen wasted all her steals during season 9.

 

A topic of who should have gotten a steal/save would be fun. Imagine them being asked back for an All-star season.

I think they meant in the battles only, which makes more sense.

 

I still don't completely agree though cause of Regina. I watched that season years after it came out, and I knew about Jordan winning but not most of the other results. So in that battle, I got really worried that Regina was going home. That was actually a good move on Gwen's part using the steal.

S19: Julia Cooper (Battle Save) - Grating tone that didn't work with John. I understand it was hard to pair John Holiday, but this wasn't successful enough to warrant a save imo. Would've rather seen it go to Rio Souma or Olivia Reyes.

 

Carolina Rial (Battle) - Just a bad song pick for John in general. They didn't make it work and I don't think it justified Carolina's save.

I can't remember specifically how Julia did on that battle, but I feel like she deserved it based on the talent and artistry she showed in the BA. I don't know why it was so underrated, maybe cause Cami got all the "indie girl" attention - she's great too don't get me wrong, but I loved what Julia did with that song. (I only wish she could've sang it for Pharrell lol)

tbh despite my username i think Julia at her best is more interesting than Cami. she has a super impressive voice, though I loved Cami’s tone on a few of her performances

For some reason I actually thought your username referred to Camila Cabello :dead:

 

It doesn't make much sense since she barely joined this season. But I guess I didn't think it through lol.

Oh hello comment from 3 years ago.

I'll put down everything from that point on :haha:

 

S18: CammWess (Battle) - That song was a terrible pick for both contestants. CammWess more than made up for it in his KO, but at the time, it definitely seemed like such a waste of a steal when there were so many other more deserving contestants that went home in their battle.

S19: Julia Cooper (Battle Save) - Grating tone that didn't work with John. I understand it was hard to pair John Holiday, but this wasn't successful enough to warrant a save imo. Would've rather seen it go to Rio Souma or Olivia Reyes.

Ben Allen (KO) - This was a mess. No reason Gwen should've used the steal here. All for a "country moment". Hurts more when noting that the sources said that she said she would've saved her steal for Marisa as well had she known that she would be available.

S20: Keegan Ferrell (Battle) - Weird battle, not bad but not worthy of a steal.

Carolina Rial (Battle) - Just a bad song pick for John in general. They didn't make it work and I don't think it justified Carolina's save.

Andrew Marshall (Battle) - I say this only because he should've rightfully won and it sounds like everyone agreed on the panel agreed. Nick only picked based off of Raine's blind.

S21: Don't really have any complaints, but I do think there were stronger save options than Hailey Mia for that round alone. Wouldn't exactly call her steal a waste/undeserving though.

S22: The Marilynds (Battle) - Not bad, but not very great either. Just frustrating that Lana Love, Dia Malai, and David Andrew all went home because he decided to use his save so early.

I usually agree with you and your tastes and then I occasionally strongly disagree :haha:.

 

I agree that Rio should have advanced past the battles though, probably over Joseph.

 

Also CammWess got a bad song for his battle, but he showed potential, and his KO obviously showed that he can sing.

S22- The Marilynds (would have rather seen Lana)

S21- Nobody

S20- Keegan Ferrell, Devan Blake Jones (would have rather seen Durell and Lindsay)

S19- Joseph Soul

S18- Nobody

S17- Not sure

S16- Majority of cross battles saves, Jimmy Mowery

S15- Colton Smith (in Knockouts), Anthony Arya (probably the worst battle with a steal in my opinion)

S14- Dallas Caroline

S13- Stephan Marcellus 

S12- Aaliyah Rose, Quizz Swanigan

S11- Josh Gallagher (it should have been Michael)

S10- Lacy Mandigo (Knockouts), Nick Hagelin (Coach Comeback)

S9- Chance Peña

Don’t remember 7 and 8

S6- Both of Shakira’s Battle Round 1 steals (Patrick Thomson and Josh Murley)

S5- Nic Hawk, probably some others

In the Battles, I think that a case can be made for Manny being a waste, actually.  He did well, especially standing up to Wendy, but Ariana had several other, better options (such as Wyatt and Jack).  The Knockout steals that season were all spot-on, though.

A lot of contestants getting stolen were perhaps not viewed well by the forum, but at the end of the day, they end up going far and the decision makes sense (Josh Gallagher, probably Craig Wayne Boyd at the time, etc).

 

But one that particularly strikes me as bizarre was Aaliyah Rose on S12. Talented girl, but her KO was literally just "there", she really appeared out of nowhere and the next thing she´s on the lives. It was more than obvious that she was done on the next round, but Blake probably didn´t want to see Gwen cry that night lol.

It was her best performance imo - not that that's saying a whole lot. She just wasn't ready for the show at the time.

 

Autumn or Johnny H would definitely have been better choices. At least Johnny got another chance with the comeback, but Hanna over Autumn with no steal or comeback was pretty egregious imo.

Yeah I disappeared for a while because of the long offseason and I took a break from The Voice altogether during that timespan, but I watched mainly the Lives last season, and I was very busy the past couple months as well

Who should have gotten Lacy’s? Yeah, JHud only stole Anthony because she wanted someone Kennedy’s age that she could easily dominate.
