Misirlou Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 What were some of the most creative flips/arrangements any contestant has done to a song? You can name the ones that work, and the ones that, while didn´t really work for them, still deserve acknowledgement for their creativity. For me: Hunter Plake - Higher Love Noah Mac - Electric Love Britton Buchanan - What´s Love Got to Do With It Madi Davis - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Will Breman - Say You´ll Be There Nelson Cade III- Best Part (This was very pitchy, but props for such a creative version, very jazzy) Katrina Cain- Rihannon Jej Vinson - Passionfruit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bk1234 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Noah Mac’s rendition of “River.” His pitch was all over the place, but the arrangement was sick, especially the drum solo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageVoice Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Melanie Martinez and Toxic - it was still recognizable as the original song, but it was a take that felt unique and fresh (and clearly it worked, since she got a three-chair turn). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) Dia Frampton - Heartless (I didn’t watch S1, but from what I have watched on YT this is my favorite performance from it) Lindsey Pavao - Say Aah (so underrated) Melanie Martinez - Toxic (I know Toxic has been flipped to death, but this is the version that has always stood out to me) Taylor Phelan - Sweater Weather Amy Vachal - Blank Space Noah Mac - Electric Love Addison Agen - Lucky Christiana Danielle - Elastic Heart Edit: I forgot one of the best ones, Christina’s Hold On, We’re Going Home. So good. Edit2: Also, Christian Porter - Sexy and I Know It Edited April 1, 2021 by Daillon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disney1024 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 (edited) Britton Buchanan's boy band rock version of "What's Love Got to Do With It" by Tina Turner. I still listen to that version on repeat! Edited April 2, 2021 by disney1024 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koatterce Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 There are probably more but thought of these three off the top of my head Karli Webster & Addison Agen - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Addison Agen - Lucky Amy Vachal - Hotline Bling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloorWax Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Can Sid's arrangement of "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" be counted? I thought it was a cool take on the song that was different enough from the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot this masterpiece, outsold the original I contemplated putting this in my Season 20 post, I just wasn't sure whether it was as creative as Savanna C's or Halley's arrangements. (For the record, I like Lindsay's performance the best out of those three) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneysam Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Might I add to Christina Danielle's creative arrangement, the Umbrella, although it somehow failed live. I've never heard that song sung that way and I think it's really risky Also, Chris Blue's Love on the Brain! Probably the most creative and the best version (for me) of that song. (many will probably argue but idc If battles do count, then I'll also add Jason and Christian's version of Hello. (Jason's a changed man now and he's on Idol, love him) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodney Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 No one's mentioned Hunter Plake's arrangement of "Elastic Heart?" That was so ethereal and haunting, I couldn't take my eyes off him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlakePointingHisFinger Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 DeAndre Nico "Wanted" and Jordan Matthew Young "Stay". An R&B take on a country song and vice versa and both arrangements were fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally a dance-pop song, he turned that into country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
