QueenCami 6,822 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) I formed a team of 13 contestants, I'll edit (Add/remove) once I see BAs (and new names) and whittle it down to 10/12. My team is just based on who I like, based on who I said was an 8/10 higher while looking through YT covers. Right now I have (unbolded are 8/10, bolded are 9/10, no 10/10s yet until I see BAs): Lauren Frihauf Tamara Jade Rio Souma Skylar Mayton DeSz John Holiday Joseph Soul Kelsie Watts JusJon Cami Clune Worth the Wait Julia Cooper Lain Roy edit: since I did it on sheets, I can see that my average score for the contestant was a 7.24 but nobody asked lmao Edited August 13, 2020 by ashwinner Link to post Share on other sites

You guys mention it a lot on here. Welcome to the madhouse, as stated up thread TPTB = The Power(s) That Be so the producers/execs/casting directors/etc. that do the behind-the-scenes heavy lifting to make the show happen. 10 hours ago, ashwinner said: idk if by pull the plug you mean stop the show, but the show was never about helping the contestants, so I doubt they care. To the show's credit, it was better at making it seem like they cared for the first six seasons, but running twice a year vs. once for AGT and Idol really hurt it long-term because as contestants left the show and needed the most help navigating the music industry (as they're at their highest exposure and less-hardcore-devout fans are still engaged), their coaches would be focused on building a new team and/or helping the artists for next season. Thus why if I miraculously was a good enough artist to turn four chairs, I'd pick Blake or Kelly - they've mentioned how they support the artists beyond the show, so even if I didn't win I'd at least have a shot at not being totally forgotten by my coach. (Please note that I can't sing worth a darn and I have really bad stage fright, so I will not ever get close to the point of landing a blind audition). 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Calvin 357 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Looking at the spoilers, I am shocked on why John usually gets all the good artists. Blake also good a really good batch, and Gwen’s team is really diverse but also pretty weak. I love Liam and Lauren, those are her top contenders. I think the finale will consist of two John Legend candidates (unless one really good person gets stolen), 1 Team Blake (maybe Taryn or Jim) and one from Team Kelly (I love Kelsie, Skylar and Desz) Link to post Share on other sites

I think Julia Cooper will definitely be stolen by someone, and also maybe John Holiday 2 Link to post Share on other sites

They both will occupy one space, and also with Kelly’s massive fan base, I’m not so sure Tamara will do so well in the lives. But I agree, Tamara and Kelly would be a force! I also really want a female to win, but not a country person. Maybe Cami Cune or Tamara/Desz or Skylar Link to post Share on other sites

jus.vshn 2,750 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Nooo lol Tamara doesn’t need to go with Kelly. I think Desz is perfect with Kelly and her being the only kind of singer like that on Kelly’s team will really take her far. I also think John will hold on to Tamara as long as he can Link to post Share on other sites

sydneysam 5,838 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I think even if the IDF is divided on Tamara's, she's got what it takes to be loved by the viewers more than Desz (based on what I've heard so far). Desz's type of voice can give underwhelming performance, while Tamara's can give overwhelming one. Viewers tend to favor more the "overbearing" singers like Tamara even if they don't win. Toneisha might've got lucky because no one is like her on her season. IDK but I am #TeamDesz all the way! I cannot see an AA winner though, I lost my faith on the viewers lmao Link to post Share on other sites

Toneisha was the only AA diva to make it as far as she did because of Blake and because she wasn’t like the other typical screamers and Desz is just like that. Lmao what If Desz ends up on Team Blake. Even though I doubt Kelly would ever drop her Link to post Share on other sites
jus.vshn 2,750 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I don’t see the Voice as a way to help artists in their career. I see it as an actual singing competition. Just like World of Dance is a dancing competition. The voice only brings great exposure to people and the best singer wins. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah actually the thing about them is sometimes it makes it look like more of a competition between the coaches and not the artists, it is always good for entertainment, but I really won't expect for them to help an artist in a huge way, still think American Idol can help an artist more (not in all cases though *cough* Maddie Poppe *cough*) Also, looks like their recording company or something have its problems Link to post Share on other sites

Misirlou 6,892 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 What do you guys think about Sam Stacy? I think he´s really good and his style is right up my alley, but I don´t know how well the show /the audience will treat him Link to post Share on other sites
Calvin 357 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I have a feeling Kelsie will be a dark horse this season. Desz is definitely Kelly’s front runner, and she overall has the 2nd best team. Nit many people are talking about Marisa and Tanner though. Gwen’s team is a team filled with people who have potential. No one screams finale to me though. Blake has Taryn and Jim. ‘Nuff said! John has a lot of good artists. Feel like majority of the steals would be from his team. My fav is Cami and Sid from his batch of talented people. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just glad he and Liam aren't on the same team because if they got paired together for a battle I'm pretty sure I'd quit if nobody got stolen. Link to post Share on other sites
