QueenCami Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 22 minutes ago, Misirlou said: I´m personally one of those people who, even though the winner sounds pretty obvious, and the show has become quite predictable, still finds enjoyment in watching it either way, especially when there´s multiple artists I like, even though I know all of them won´t make through. I was just about to comment something similar! I watch the show because there are contestants I like, not because I expect my favorites to win. Even if the winner is obvious, I care to hear people sing more than I care for suspense. That's why I watched Season 19; I liked Cami, DeSz, Bailey along with Jim, Ian, Tamara, and Carter to a lesser extent. Even though I knew my favorite would not win, I enjoyed watching Cami and others' performances! Even watching Marisa/Kelsie/Lauren in the pre-taped rounds was fun, though I knew they'd get eliminated. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be IDF's season to finally predict the right artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By constantly saying “x contestant” is the new “y contestant” we are just boxing contestants into a lane and not giving people any incentive to support the prior contestant, since there’s supposedly a “new” one.

The problem is it usually ends badly for these contestants and we end up with a sour taste in our mouths. But, then we get to say they were robbed for the next 10 years, so it’s not all bad, I guess. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misirlou Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Going back to S20 specifically, the odds point to a Kenzie win, something I will consider deserving if he performs like I know he can. I still enjoy quite a few artists this season as well, so I´ll gladly continue watching them. There are three in particular I´ll keep my eye on after the show.

sneaky Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I actually am going to lean towards Nick winning with Rachel. Kenzie will obviously make the finals with Kelly but he will have to compete against another Blake country artist and likely Blake's friend at that since Jordan doesnt seem ery likeable. I think with two country singers in the finals the one on Blake's team has the upperhand. However, there will likely be enough of a vote split to give Rachael the win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there’s a female country singer in the 4-way KO, but I don’t expect her to contend. Edited March 21, 2021 by TeamAudra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorWax Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I can see Jordan being classified as country by the audience, but I think Pete is pretty far from country based on his audition imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VintageVoice Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I feel like Jordan would break out in hives at the prospect of being labeled country instead of blues/rock, tbh, while Pete would be sort of okay with the "country" label even though he reads more old-school-pop-blues vocally than anything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the funny thing... someone asked her why she chose “Slow Burn” during the ToZae Show and she seemed to not really want to lean too far in the country direction, which is strange.

Country gets votes, so it's a legit strategy - that said, Neon Moon is her most country song pick by, well, a country mile no i'm not sorry for that joke 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misirlou Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) Pete isn´t country, but I´d feel like he would have no problem slipping in there if needed. After all, he started playing country music originally. He joked he could do some Blake songs in his livestream (which I hope doesn´t happen, but still). Jordan doesn´t sound country, and his audition didn´t really enamoured Minivan as I thought it was going to, so he should stick to what he does best: rock and blues. Off topic, but both of them are great guitarrists, hope that they will be able to showcase their skills at one point on the show.

Emma has watched the show in the past, so I’m sure she’s aware of all this (she said her top two coach choices were Blake and Kelly, so she definitely knows what she’s doing.)

Misirlou Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Blake paired Jordan with Keegan and gave him a Train song. If he viewed him as country in general, he would have pitted him against either Ethan or Avery with a country song. And then he did rock in his KO. I don´t see TPTB pimping him in the playoffs, considering the editing he got in his blind, but we still don´t know if they will bus him as well.

TeamAudra Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) Jordan is a guitarist first and vocalist second. He’s also clearly a seasoned performer. Sometimes these types don’t fit into one of the boxes necessary for success on the show. Edited March 21, 2021 by TeamAudra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammonium Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Just because someone sings a country song, doesn't mean that person is a country singer. Country goes way more depth than that. So many people sings country songs, but nothing sounds like country. Only genuine country singer left is Kenzie. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
