Misirlou Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 I have no worries about him being consistent, but I dont want him to get stuck with overdone songs. Hope they pick something fresh for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageVoice Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 If he does do Otis, I’d rather see “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long” over “Try a Little Tenderness” or “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” since it’s familiar enough to get votes but I believe has only been covered once on the show (Sundance’s audition) so it doesn’t feel overdone. I just hope Blake’s smart enough to keep Paris away from the bus for a while yet, if not the whole season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misirlou Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 On second thoughts, even though Try a Little Tenderness has been done a few times already, it would indeed be epic. You know the coaches would be standing up before the performance ends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmao. lol Jason's is definitely not the version to judge it by. At least he's earnest. Love that album though. Some real gems. I'd still prefer Try a Little Tenderness but would feel lucky to get either. Paris and Otis should happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Military vote isn’t everything, though - he has to appeal to people who don’t 100% relate to him (luckily, being Team Blake boosts his odds of making it further into the competition since the Facebook crowd loves Blake + tends to back his artists). Prime example: I thought Victor from last season had fourth or even third place within reach last season, given he had repeatedly mentioned his HBCU + tackled gospel and some older-school soul stuff (and HBCU communities tend to be really tight-knit and supportive of their own from my observations as an outsider) but that didn’t pan out. Paris definitely has a lot of appeal to a decent chunk of the audience, but relying on just one segment to carry an artist through the competition is a risky proposition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misirlou Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 Switching to Team Blake, what I thought would be his demise initially, ended up being the best thing to happen to him. Had he stayed with Legend, he would have been the clear frontrunner there now, but with John as his coach, semis was 100% his ceiling. With Blake, I think he can actually make finale if everything plays right for him (which I hope it does). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misirlou Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Would have preferred a fresher song choice, but he sounds great. I'll enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persy Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Loved Paris's song choice for him and loved the performance. He was a little flat at the beginning but once he found his footing he got better and delivered one of his best so far. I still prefer last week's performance from him but still amazing. I want to hear him sing Try A Little Tenderness next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love for Paris to sing the song though. Add me pls. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VintageVoice Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Paris made it through, thank goodness. Hoping for a good song next week that’s a little less “expected” of an R&B/soul guy (but is still close enough to his wheelhouse he can make it work). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
