The song didn't allow her to be authentic, so it felt very performative, like she was singing to impress, and not to express. She has very good stage presence though. Very well said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misirlou Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Lol I predicted Pia/Ciana for a leak, but I though they would be for Episode 2. Also, TPTB, you sly bastards lol. Ciana´s opening was good, but as soon after that, it all went south. She did better than I expected, but this appropiately felt like a swan song/performance. Pia... yes! This is the moment I was waiting from her. I was worried since she didn´t live up to my expectations at all in her past 2 rounds, but I absolutely loved her here. Gorgeous rendition of a song perhaps not really suited for a KO. We´re off to a good start for KOs here. I don´t know if this will move the needle for her with Minivan, but we´ll see. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaKD Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 #1 Have you noticed how the Voice audience treats Black female singers? #2 Being over 30 yo is different than being in your 20s in the music industry. It marks them as OLD. #3 I didn’t use the word genre any where in my post, don’t imply I was comparing them musically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely disagree with whoever said John was dumb for taking 2 AA females over 30 to the lives, because they’re both iconic But they are in the same genre lane, only they have different approaches. Pia happened to audition with a reggae Stevie Wonder song but I don’t think she has been referred to as a 100% reggae artist on the show. We can see in these past few rounds she has done r&b soul, just like Zania. So they’re in a similar lane, but their styles are very different. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misirlou Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 They have been treating Pia good. A KO leak, and 2 premieres now. She´s been in more premieres than Cam and Kenzie lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As some of us pointed out upon the release of the first spoilers, Pia is literally the R&B soul version of Payge Turner. So, I agree with you on this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bk1234 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) After watching the battles, I understand John’s knockout pairings. He was clearly very impressed with Zania and Pia in their respective battles and wanted both through to the lives. My only issue is not giving Ciana and Rio a fighting shot with those songs...

John only picks the singers he personally would listen to. Blake and Kelly let strategy guide their pairings and choices. And Nick, who knows?

joe14 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) Yeah Pia was flawless, or dang near close to it. There was very little wrong with that. Night and day from her audition which was very underwhelming imo. People talking about "imaginary hype" to downplay her performance Not sure what the fuss is about knock out pairings. None of Zania, Pia, Rio, or Ciana are people that the audience typically votes for so I would go for who performed the best tbh. It really won't matter in the grand scheme of things.

No one ever says "it's idiotic to bring 2 White male singers over 30 yo into the voting stage." If they were competing at the Apollo theater you would. Black female singers are at a disadvantage on the Voice. If you want them to advance, you have to help them by making it easier for the voters.

Going for who performed the best would only be fair if they all got equally good song choices. Pia got a song she could relate to and Zania got a great song. Rio and Ciana were not given as great songs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
