She also said that she purposely did not show it all off for her audition because she wants people to see her progression throughout the show (smart move by Raq lol). She talks often to Ari and Ari's super involved with her team members ย Expect a crazy outfit, like a cotton candy for her battle performance. She will sing ballad and softer songs soon (but with the jazz/soulful influences, of course)ย ย ย ย Thanks for the summary. Iโm really excited for her battle and Raq on a ballad?! - YES PLZ!

sydneysam Posted October 16, 2021 Author Share Posted October 16, 2021 ย Just realized that Hailey and Raq were shown in the first episode lol. I'm lowkey hoping for them to be on Tuesday night, so that they could possibly be a leak and a closer?ย ย (since Ari's battle hasn't been leaked yet, weird lmao) ย Can't wait for this battle!

sydneysam Posted October 16, 2021 Author Share Posted October 16, 2021 ย Another interview of Raq- this time from the Buzz! The Voice is the first stage she has conquered ever since she broke her femur. Ariana's one of her biggest vocal influences ever since 2010. She was torn between John and Kelly at first- John being a soulful singer and Kelly knowing how to properly belt. But, she said Ariana was a mix of both. She's already preparing to think about the performance and off-show opportunities since she did not come to the show for nothing (yes with that mindset, Raq!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Persy Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Raquel did AMAZING! I love her tone and the song choice for both of them. I didn't care who won because for me they both won equally. Raquel sounds a bit like Amy Winehouse.ย 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneysam Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 ย Raq slayed point blank period. The energy, sass, range, runs, you just name it! I am in LOVE with her tone (one of my favorites this season, it's so distinctive and beautiful). I do not see her underwhelming at all (for me). I love how she showed a little bit more of her range here while staying so effortless performing. She has one of the best stage presence among all the contestants this season so I CANNOT wait for her to slay live (she's one of the contestants I'm most confident about doing really well live TBH). Love this woman sm and I'm so proud of her!!ย 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really can't wait for her to sing Valerie, that song is another song right up her alley. Katie showed up on the battles and showed what a powerhouse of a vocalist she is- so for Raq to be chosen over her (if she really is her KO opponent), that's something special right there.

sydneysam Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 Raq SLAYEDD tonight (I wasn't ready for those tasty and gorgeous runs!!). I'm honestly sad by the comments. I've gotten to know her, and she's one of the purest and most supportive humans ever (my favorite from this cast, I swear. the. kindest.), she deserves nothing but love. I thought she won fair and square. Her best vocal performance so far. She has shown more of her range tonight, she's definitely on the right track. I have no doubt that she'll kill it live. She has grown so much ever since Idol and I'm SO rooting for her!! ย So so proud of my girl!!ย 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
