Great results now out of the remaining 16 performances my fav are 

1- I Have Nothing _ Tessanne Chin

2- Bridge Over Troubled Water _ Tessanne Chin

3- Roxanne _ Juliet Simms

4- I Put A Spell On You _ Jaquie Lee

5- Just Give Me A Reason _ Michelle Chamuel

 

But I already know the top 4 would be Hallelujah, The Scientist, Sad and Make It Rain and The Scientist will probably win

When you get this deep in the talent pool everything is a questionable choice.

 

It's an interesting choice - and I think it speaks of the makeup of the board. 

 

I'm not the biggest Pope fan out there but I know the history of that performance and the importance of it in terms of the show. It was a #1 Seed because..to me..it represents the beginning of the show's prominence...and take over for Idol. In the same way that I think Schuler's "Hallelujah" is the show's peak. As much as I think Matthew's performance was musical and performance perfection..it was also the show at its most popular. 

 

When I look at "Over You"..IMO..it's the beginning of the show's extreme popularity. It was the first time an artist became dominant..and perhaps the reason that artist was dominant.  But if you weren't watching then..or didn't join in on the show then..what you have is an emotionally connected pretty ballad. The moment doesn't hit the same. And with Michelle, you have a better vocalist, choreographed staging, a chorus backing..etc. So I think it's one of the many results in this game that have happened simply because we have a lot of newer fans on the board.

Ugh! This round is gonna make me cry....and probably need several hours of therapy.  All my top favs except for two are in this round.   I'm going to have to chat with a few glasses of Scotch before I can even think about voting.  🥺

Quick summary of this round:

 

1.  There are no wrong votes.

2.  Every single vote is wrong.

 

It's comment like these that let you know you have found your people.  I won't suffer alone.

Voted:

Maelyn

Addison

Tessanne 

Maelyn

 

Honestly it felt like a crime to vote against Kimberly Nichole's What's Up, even against my absolute favorite from The Voice. The performance was amazing, but I still had to give it to Addison. Excited to see results! I have no idea what to expect.

Done Voting

~ Danielle ( It's so hard for me to go against Danielle.)

~ Addison ( I don't know what is so special about Kimberly, Addison is just way better )

~ Tessanne ( This was a No Brainer for me. That was Tess' best performance while Mad World was Maelyn's third or fourth best performance. But I highly expect the opposite results because after what happened with Mathew and Jordan I have very less hopes )

~ Maelyn ( this was very tough. I consider these two performances as almost equals but I had to go with Maelyn because I think she has a slight edge vocally over Amber )

Voted. Lol @ me voting for Maelyn in all matchups (I Have Nothing might be in terms of vocals the best performance ever and Tess is one of my all time favorites, but I just loathe the song).

 

Addison vs Kimberly was the hardest matchup for me, just because it hurted to vote against Addison.

My decisions and why I chose who I did.

 

Maelyn vs. Danielle: I'm a much bigger fan of Danielle's post-show work, so this was the only straightforward moment for me in the brackets. Maelyn's voice is not from this earth, do not try to tell me otherwise.

Kimberly vs. Addison: The trickier matchup of this segment of the bracket, but as killer as this moment was from Kimberly I liked HOTRS just ever so slightly more, and though I prefer She Used to Be Mine a smidge more from Addison, this is just as good so I picked it.

Tessanne vs. Maelyn: This was honestly the hardest one because it's my favorite moment by far from each of these two. Maelyn and Adam Lambert are my standards for how you cover Mad World, as both give me goosebumps in the best way each time I hear it. That said, Whitney's basically untouchable unless you nail it perfectly - and Tessanne blew the song out of the water, rocketed straight to the top of the iTunes charts, and got all of the emotiveness of the song along with the rock-solid vocals. (Side note: if we ever want to do a dual-crowning of the winners of the show with one from the Xtina era and one from the post-Xtina era, I nominate these two together.)

Maelyn vs. Amber: Maelyn basically had the season on lock from here on out, while Amber was absolutely killer here and proved that Adam wasn't nuts for picking her over two different four-chair acts in the pre-taped rounds. I'm just thankful it's not Maelyn's version of Stay against Amber's because that would be even harder. I picked Amber (even though I expect Maelyn to take this) simply because Amber was a key part of reminding people not to underestimate an artist's capabilities based on chair turns.

I may end up voting slightly different, but I can't argue with any of this.  Guess that's what makes this round so excruciatingly difficult.  Nice write-up!

I would never!  Pretty sure she is an actual Angel.  A lot of artists can sing to my heart but very very few sing to my soul. I wanted to vote for Amber and Tessanne...I just couldn't.  In any case, this is a lose, lose situation.

I felt less bad voting against Maelyn since I was voting for her at least once already, but if all three Maelyn performances move on you won't hear me complaining in the slightest.

Currently trying to resist the idea that mercfan3 is sitting at home laughing at us for torturing ourselves like this.  😈

TBH, this would be a really easy round for me (with the exception of one) - but they are all fantastic performances. 

 

Voting against any of these performances feels like I'm kicking my dog.
