They never really allowed him to be himself on the show. If you look at his music or IG material, the only song out of all the ones he did on the show that I could actually see him perform on his gigs or regularly is his audition one. He seemed by far the most comfortable that he has even been here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just baffling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But producers keep trying to fit him into the RNB/soul kind of guy when he’s not. All of his covers are gospel but he hasn’t been allowed to do any on the show. And I feel for Pete too it’s so sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I feel for Pete too it’s so sad He knows that too. He wants some gospel, since that`s who he really is. But from the moment I saw his battle song, I knew this was gonna happen. Either way, since he has no competition now (I love Pia but she has 0 chance), he`s going to the finale, so he`ll have two more weeks to bring the gospel. I hope they finally let him do it though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete very much has a “coffee house” vibe (by which I mean laid back/acoustic/vocal focused/sounds right at home on vinyl) and the show tried to make him into an “arena” type artist (more showman focused/less acoustic/more power) which doesn’t work for everyone. That said, had you told me Monday morning he’d get eliminated, I would’ve laughed in your face. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It`s like they kept and kept trying to weaken him. Being Blake`s friend did him 0 favors here, TPTB probably was trying to avoid Blake falling into a position of favoritism and the criticism he was gonna get if that happened. And Pete knew it too. He literally said goodbye last night. But that shows what a good sport he is. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misirlou Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Random but Ryleigh said she was 5"2 on an IG story. She must have been wearing heels because she looked so tall compared to the guys. And Corey, Jose and Pete are quite short from what I saw as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platform boots with heels could easily add ~5 inches of height, if not more (I'm assuming the guys are all 5'7"-5'9"). Even so, that's still a pretty noticeable height change on Ryleigh's end.

Maybe I just feel like his songs were chosen for perceived appeal and he should have just gone with what he knew I think out of everyone eliminated last night Pete was the one who truly broke my heart because he had so much potential and could have gone to finale with the right songs but it played out as it was because Jordan really did kill that Fleetwood Mac song I hope Blake helps him out moving forward and we still see him around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VintageVoice Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Rewatched the results from the Wildcard last night and Corey's reaction to winning it was "What the--" and looking to his left (clearly he, like a lot of people on social media + several IDF users, expected it to go to Ryleigh). And after lurking in the IG comments sections on the top 9 announcement posts, here's what I noticed: The most negative "move on" reactions generally went to Jordan, since he beat out Anna, while most of the others had at least mixed-but-overall-positive comments instead of being divided. Pia's comments were also sort of mixed (again, due to Ryleigh losing the coach save, so I expected it) but to a lesser extent than Jordan's. Kenzie, being country, was better received than I expected - I wonder how Gihanna moving on impacted that? My personal favorite comment goes to Keegan's reaction to Cam moving on: "I would have sued" honestly same Rachel's comments were almost totally positive, much like Cam's and Dana's (who were probably the two most positive). Victor was hit or miss but there were a lot of "Aggie pride" comments - don't underestimate what a strong, widespread base (in Victor's case, his college's alumni network) can do for an artist, y'all. Gihanna's comments were positive with the occasional "but Corey" type comment. Corey's comments have a lot about Ryleigh not moving on, but for every Ryleigh comment I saw at least 3 happy comments, so it balances out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
