KimberlyxKyla Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 some of my thoughts on the Blind Auditions: - Wendy Moten is by far my favorite, and it’s not even close!!! - Bella DiNapoli is the biggest surprise for me so far. i didn’t expect to like her as much as i do (her audition one of my top 5 favorites this season). - i love Shadale and Jershika! i don’t think their audition songs were the best choices, but i’m really excited to see their next performances. i think they have a ton of potential to do amazing this season. - Gymani and Brittany are two of my other favorites! they kind of remind me of each other actually. both have a raspy quality in their voice, both sang very modern songs for their audition, both turned all four chairs, both are queens!! - i really like Holly, Ryleigh, and Libianca as well!! - i found the auditions overall to be slightly below average this season, but i still think the season has a lot of potential to be really great. - Samuel is my favorite male contestant this season. i really liked his audition! - i LOVE Ariana this season! she may not be the most dynamic coach but she’s sweet, funny, and seems to care for her contestants a lot. but some of her fans need to have their Twitter accounts locked… on to the battles!! GO WENDY!!!! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are singing "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You" by Sting. Wendy was so good, it inspired Kelly to have a go at it with her Kellyoke after she heard Wendy (Kelly’s version is now on YT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamAudra Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 What if we’ve spent all this time assuming Holly is Ari’s main horse, when in reality it’s Bella? After all, Bella is her original team member, and Holly lost her KO. Why can’t it be Bella? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This also confirms that Hailey Mia has the season in the bag Wow, Hailey really lives in your mind rent free, doesn't she?? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends, if Minivan keeps dominating, (which most likely they will), Holly will definitely be Ariana's main horse. If the arianators somehow overtake Minivan (Not likely to happen, at all) i think they are definitely gonna prefer Bella and put her at the top of Team Ari 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps she's Ari's personal main horse, but I don't see her getting the highest votes on her team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Holly’s appeal is going to depend a fair amount on song choice. If Holly gets well-loved stuff like “Rocket Man” but makes it feel fresh and emotionally dialed in, she’ll do fine; if her song choices get more obscure, she may have issues. Holly’s good at crossing genres, so that’s less of a limitation because it means she might make something less expected work for her, but it’s also a challenge because having a “lane” can help inform song choices. Personally, I think Holly should make it through the playoffs with little trouble, but anything’s possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said earlier (of course no one says a word about it, though), it'll depend on whether or not she's montaged in the Battles (as her Knockout is guaranteed to be seen thanks to her own steal). If she's the Chosen One of this season (or one of them, at least), then I can't see her Battle being montaged. If it is, then as I said, it might be Ryleigh instead. Or even Bella, as someone else suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misirlou Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Its still a bit early to full know. For now, I expect Holly to dominate Ariana's team, but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She very well could, regardless of Ari’s intentions, because there is no minivan contestant on that team. After the playoffs is where I have questions.

Mohammad Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) The only way I see Holly making the finale or making it far if minivan will vote for Holly while disregarding the fact that Ari will be her new coach , I read a comment on FB i think stating “ I won’t vote for anyone on Ariana’s team” .

I'm pretty bad at predicting and I have no horse this season so I'm just gonna point out some names that got aired in episode 3 and are still in the game: Holly Hailey Jeremy Raquel Following the same rule, I'm ready to rule out any of these names if they get aired next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chevel and Chloe, both montaged. The only recent one I can think of that might have moved the needle (for a winner) is Brynn’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misirlou Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Since Jershika auditioned with R&B, and Jeremy did an R&B version of a country song, I suppose their battle song is something in that realm, not gospel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chloe, I'll somewhat grant you, but she clearly enough of a following before season thirteen that her montaging didn't matter.
