Best Blues Artist on the Show

[Misirlou]

Blues is probably my favorite genre/the one I usually listen to the most, so I wanted to make a little tribute to the blues artists that have appeared on the show that I remember. Blues isn´t really a genre that does well on the show, but it certainly leads to interesting vocal choices, and in some cases, some amazing guitar moments. These are artists that at least have sang 1 blues song on the show, or have remained blues all the way. (Cross genre like country/blues or rock/blues also count)

You're really gonna make me pick between Michael Lee, Sarah Grace, and Ricky Duran?

 

Ugh, fine.

[David68]

I really do have the mind of the majority. Michael Lee was something else.

[Maxwell]

Michael Lee did his thing.

Either Mia Z or Sarah. I'd say Mia because Sarah was pretty rocky in the pre-taped rounds.

Mia's biggest problem was her teammates; had she been with Pharrell on a team without Sawyer and Koryn, she could've survived past the top 12. Unfortunately, Sawyer was his front runner and Koryn was a teenage powerhouse that'd willingly dabbled in gospel, so she was always going to be up on the chopping block quickly.

I don't think Ricky is considered a "blues artist." "Born Under A Bad Sign" was the only blues song he performed.

I picked Mia Z, but Michael was robbed!!!! his performance of whipping post was absolutely incredible and he is so under appreciated 

[Someone648]

Not sure I'd count Ricky as blues, but he'd count as one of my favorites.

 

I voted Mia based merely on her age and how impressive she was, but as a whole - I'd probably go Mia > Laith > Michael > the rest.

Yeah, I know Ricky is not blues as a whole, but I included artists who have performed at least one blues song on the show, and aside it´s pretty clear that Ricky has some serious blues influence in his guitar playing as well.

mia eliminated in top 12 is still so bitter.

I honestly thought Michael Lee was a shoo-in to make Blake's Top 3. I mean, he already got Kirk and Chris in, what was the point of saving Dave?

That part we really don't know. I mean Blake is strategic and he should have known that was a dumb move, maybe Dave was just a sentimental favorite I guess. He does have a few of those sometimes.

Iirc Blake and Dave had a history before the show.  There was no way Dave wasn't going to be one of Blake's top 3.

 

Anyways...I voted for Sarah Grace.  Her voice really grew on me that season.  Not really a bad choice among this group tho imo.

omg wtf I did not see that coming... truly an iconic queen

[Teraginn]

I love blues music....but for some reason I don't really love any of these artists. Michael Lee and Mia Z would be my favorites out of this group, but their Voice runs were painfully short.

[Archanium]

Michael Lee was robbed 

His KO performance is one of my all time favorites. 

 

I also like Ricky Duran

 

 

[Dai]

Mia Z, no contest. IMO one of the best voices to ever be on the show. She had range for days and an awesome and unique tone #robbed

 

But I do hope someone like the lead singer from Kaleo comes to the show, he’d be an instant snowflake of mine

Tinfoil hat time/Blake strategy speculation - he was planning for Michael, Kirk, and Dave to move on from the playoffs; he expected to have two of them (likely Kirk and Michael, given the popularity of their blinds and KOs) to go through via PV, and he'd save the third one. He didn't expect Chris to sail through the PV, so he had to pick between Michael and Dave; the latter he knew better and got his "sentimental favorite" spot, so Dave moved on and Michael got cut.
