Performances that you enjoyed but weren´t expecting to.

[Misirlou 2,705]

Performances that you weren´t expecting anyting from, but once you heard the artist sing on stage, you unexpectedly enjoyed.

 

Ben Allen- There Goes My Life

I´m a country fan, but Ben never did anything for me in the pre taped rounds, and his studio of this didn´t left me impressed either. However, this song allowed him to show vulnerabilty on stage, and he delivered by far his best vocal of the season. I wasn´t mad he advanced based on that.

 

Rod Stokes- When A Man Loves a Woman

I loved Rod in his season, but initially I thought this wasn´t a good song choice for him. He definitely proved me wrong when he stepped on that stage and  delivered a great vocal. Deservedly moved on.

 

Steve Memmolo - Unaware

Wasn´t a fan of Steve at all, but this was way better than what I was expecting. Pretty good.

 

Chloé Hogan- my future

I had Chloé as one of the contestants I was expecting to flop, but instead she delivered a gorgeous, almost pitch perfect rendition of the song. It was obvious she had no chance of advancing, but at least she left the show on a high note.

Basically these two. I didn't expected nothing about these two acts, but Ben's performance happened to be really strong and powerful, while Worth the Waith's harmonies gave me chills on this one.

Chris Jamison - Jealous: I was pissed with Adam after saving Chris over Taylor P on the playoffs, and I’m usually not a fan of JT clones in singing shows, so I wasn’t expecting much. Not only did he give a fantastic performance, he eventually became one of my favorite contestants ever.

Cami Clune - Never Tear Us Apart: Ever since I watched her covers pre-show I had a feeling she would flop hard in the Playoffs. She proved me very wrong.

Echoing Ben Allen from the OP, and Rod Stokes' Cross Battles instead of his Top 13. 

 

I was NOT expecting to like Ryan Berg's KO as much as I did.

 

I expected Lynnea to flop her first week, but she actually did good with Wolves.

I echo Ben’s playoff performance. I really disliked his taped rounds (and his semis) but he really did a good performance
