QueenMae16 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) This is hard tbh, but I have to go with: (BEST) 1. Maelyn Jarmon - Stay 2. Amber Carrington - Sad 3. Addison Agen - Both Sides Now 4. Ali Caldwell - I Will Always Love You 5. Kyla Jade - Let It Be HM: Keisha Renee - What Hurts The Most, Lauren Duski - Ghost In This House, Juliet Simms - Its A Man's World, Tessanne Chin - Bridge Over Troubled Water, Hannah Huston - When A Man Loves A Woman Will give WORST, in a bit as I think more.

David68 Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 It took me an hour and a half to type out the performances 1 by 1 looking at wikipedia and typing on 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misirlou Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Strictly talking semifinal wise BEST: 1- Jordan Smith - Somebody to Love 2- Noah Mac - River 3- Kyla Jade - Let it Be 4- Tessanne Chin - Bridge over Troubled Water 5- Sundance Head - Love Can Build a Bridge Jordan is the undisputable king when it comes to the semifinals for me, I mean, he tackled Queen and nailed it. Noah and Kyla had by far their best weeks and exhibited their artistry at their full level, and Tessanne and Sundance pretty much secured the win with their performances. WORST: 1- Carter Lloyd Horne - Take Me To Church 2- Zach Seabaugh - The Climb 3- Gyth Rigdon - God Bless the USA 4- Brennley Brown - Suds in the Bucket 5- Aaron Gibson - (Everything I Do) I Do It for You I loved Aaron throughout the season, but that was not good in the least. We all know what happened with Carter, Gyth had a huge song and didn´t live up to it, Zach had by far his worst performance, and Brennley had a legitimate shot at the finale but that song did it in for her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatthewPalermo Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 No specific order. Top 5: Maelyn Jarmon - Stay Rose Short - I Want to Know What Love Is Kyla Jade - Let it Be Brooke Simpson - Faithfully Jordan Smith - Somebody to Love Bottom 5: Kirk Jay - I Swear Gyth Rigdon - God Bless The U.S.A Barrett Baber - Ghost Will Breman - Locked Out of Heaven Carter Lloyd Horne - Take Me to Church This was actually really hard to decide for both categories. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageVoice Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Top 6 (after Jordan, no order within and I couldn't pick just one between Maelyn and Amber): #1: Jordan Smith - Somebody to Love Kyla Jade - Let it Be Lauren Duski - Ghost in This House Maelyn Jarmon - Stay Rose Short - I Want to Know What Love Is Amber Carrington - Sad The Two Most Spectacularly Bad: Gyth Rigdon - God Bless the USA Carter Lloyd Horne - Take Me To Church Big Yikes(TM) Moments: Taylor John Williams - Falling Slowly Braiden Sunshine - Amazing Grace Zach Seabaugh - The Climb Brennley Brown - Suds In The Bucket Hello Sunday - Don't You Worry Bout a Thing Putting Jordan anywhere but #1 on this list feels like a crime - there's a very few performances that get me to go "Holy [EXPLETIVE]" but nailing a Queen song will do that. Speaking of crimes, Rose ending up in the middle three after that was absolutely a crime. Kyla and Lauren also had their best nights then and both covers get me emotional. I tried to pick between Maelyn and Amber but both of them were on a whole other level of good with those songs. Gyth's cringefest cemented him as the big threat to Maelyn given it's full of things Minivan laps up with a spoon, but vocally it was rough; Carter's performance is the only thing protecting Gyth from being the worst of the night. I understand Carter wanted to make his fans happy, but the song was just not in the right key for him and was too high in range. Taylor John Williams came off a high point and crashed spectacularly. Zach and Braiden had their best nights on the semifinals, but it doesn't mean that either of them should've been in the semifinals in the first place. Brennley was a victim of bad song selection; Hello Sunday's was a hot mess all around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daillon Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Best 1. Jordan Smith - Somebody to Love 2. Amber Carrington - Sad 3. Rose Short - IWTKWLI 4. Chris Jamison - When I Was Your Man 5. Tessanne Chin - Bridge Over Troubled Water (perfect vocals, incredible ending) HM: Kyla Jade - Let It Be Juliet Simms - IAMMMW Alisan Porter - Desperado Koryn Hawthrone - Oh Mary Don’t You Weep (underrated af) Josh Kaufman - All Of Me / Love Runs Out Addison Agen - Both Sides Now Maelyn Jarmon - Stay Danielle Bradbery - Please Remember Me Worst There are way too many bad performances to mention, but Barrett’s Ghost, Jake Worthington’s Good Old Boys (his entire run in general), Jackie’s Here I Go Again, Brennley’s iconic bus and almost all S16 performance (specially Carter’s) are big trainwrecks.

Someone648 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) Best (This was so damn hard... and the fact that it's 3/5 S13 is a testament to how stressful the S13 semis were for me lol): 1. Addison Agen - Both Sides Now 2.Chloe Kohanski - I Want to Know What Love Is 3. Rose Short - I Want to Know What Love Is 4. Noah Mac - River 5.

I love Will but LOH was really just bad, John just flopped on that song choice. Out of all posted, this pretty hitted the nail on the head with me. Except with the Bottom 5, I would put Carter Lloyd Horne- Take Me to Church Gyth Rigdon- God Bless the U.S.A Reagan Strange- You are the Reason Zach Seabugh- The Climb Brennley Brown- Suds in the Bucket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCami Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Addison Agen - Both Sides Now Kyla Jade - Let It Be Rose Short - I Want To Know What Love Is Keisha Renee - What Hurts The Most Addison once again showed how beautifully she can convey emotion, while Kyla showed us a more restrained version of herself. Rose killed it with this song, and Keisha was imo robbed of at least getting a shot at the IS after this amazing performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rose Short - I Want to Know What Love Is Agreed on these two position-wise; I continue to be shocked at how well Addison can convey emotion, and this performance was an amazing example of that. I really felt like I was taking in the meaning of the song as she went, even though when listening to music, I don't usually internalize the lyrics/meaning of the lyrics.

Addison wasn't even my favorite that season (I was rooting for Chloe and Noah) but damn if that performance didn't make her my third favorite. It gave me chills. Easily one of the best/most appropriate song choices of the whole show. Edited August 17, 2020 by Someone648 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorWax Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Surprised I'm not seeing more love for Chloe's version of IDKWLI. I prefer her version to Rose's even though Rose is the superior vocalist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer her version to Rose's even though Rose is the superior vocalist. I love Chloe's version but I liked other stuff from her in the live shows better (TEOTH being the first thing that comes to mind) and I had to narrow it down so that put it on the chopping block - if I'd had an "honorable mentions" section that would go there.

Jordan Smith Fan Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) Sorry can't do a 5. No way I'm not including all of my favorites. 1. Jordan Smith - "Somebody To Love" - SLAYYYYY! One word, "PERFECT" 2. Kyla Jade - "Let it Be" - She should've been crowned as the winner right after that moment. Biggest robbery in the history of this show. 3. Cam Anthony - "It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday" - INCREDIBLE. Pitch perfect and the fact that he does those runs like they were a piece of cake for him is astonishing. 4. Tessanne Chin - "Bridge Over Troubled Water" - Top Notch vocals. What a STUNNING performance. 5. Adam Wakefield - "I'm Sorry" - An underrated gem. There's a reason why he is still to this day my fav country act ever. 6. Chloe Kohanski - "I Want to know what love is" - Her Tone. 7. Amber Carrington - "Sad" - ROBBED QUEEN! 8. Maelyn Jarmon - "Stay" - She slayed that. The savior of s16. 9. Josh Kaufman - "All of me" - Incredible showing of vocals and emotion. 10. Matt McAndrew - "Make it Rain" - See Chloe. 11. Thunderstorm Artis - "Home" - Our rightful winner of s18. 12. Lauren Duski - "Ghoost in this house" - Chills everywhere.

Jyn Mycle Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) Best 5 Jordan Smith - Somebody to Love (The most perfect performance ever on The Voice) Ali Caldwell - I Will Always Love You (This was the most stellar moment for me and the ending was awesome) Tessanne Chin - Bridge over Troubled Water (I really love this and that long note was breathtaking) Matt McAndrew - Make It Rain (First time I heard this song on this show and I really loved it) James Wolpert - With or Without You (I really like this artist and this is his moment but sadly he didn't make the Finale) Hms: Maelyn Jarmon - Stay Alisan Porter - Desperado Addison Agen - Both Sides, Now Brooke Simpson - Faithfully Keisha Renee - What Hurts The Most Billy Gilman - I Surrender Chloe Kohanski - I Want To Know What Love Is Ricky Duran - Let It Be Brynn Cartelli - What the World Needs Now is Love Kyla Jade - Let It Be Chris Blue - Take Me to the King Vannessa Ferguson - Superstar Micah Iverson - I Will Follow You Into the Dark Noah Mac - River Chris Jamison - When I Was Your Man Davon Fleming - Gravity Will Champlin - Carry On Rose Short - I Want To Know What Love Is Shawn Sounds - A Song For You SundanceHead - Love Can Build a Bridge Craig Wayne Boyd - The Old Rugged Cross Worst 5 These are my worst 5 that I have watched, for those mentioned above on other's list that are not included in this, I never watched them and I think they are worth watching. Rayshunn Lamarr - Imagine (He ruined the song oooof) Spensha Baker - My Church (This girl made the finale with not hitting the right notes and she sound super annoying along with Rayshun) Zach Seabaugh - The Climb (I remember this moment and it was trash, wtf he even got to sing for the IS) Aaron Gibson - (Everything I Do) I Do It for You (Sad for Aaron his voice is super tired and he can't hit some notes, singing for IS for 3 weeks is very tiring) Carter Lloyd Horne - Take Me to Church (I never watch after CB and I accidentally watched this on YT due to autoplay and I was doing something. Ooof) Edited May 20, 2021 by Jyn Mycle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
