Top 13: Who will open and close?

[Misirlou]

Choose.

I see Joshua opening. He has the song and the balance of nuance and energy to kick things off.

 

Holly might close due to the pimping she's getting this week. Stripped down country classic. They're trying to help Ariana.

[QueenMae16]

Shadale with that bus will open.

 

The pimpage for Holly to get into the Finale for Ariana, starts tonight. She will likely close.

I voted Lana and Holly. Many people are already assuming Shadale will open, which means it probably won't happen. That said, the same logic could be applied to Holly, but I'm flopping either way so

Shadale's opening. Only uptempo song choice of the night says it all.

 

Closing? I'd bet on Holly, because she's going to get pimped by TPTB so Ari gets a finalist.

Opening feels like Joshua, and closing will be holly

[VintageVoice]

If TPTB really want to bus Shadale harder than the song choice she’s gotten suggests, they’ll put her second (aka not trusted to open, and early enough to get lost in the shuffle).
 

If Shadale is second, the opener is probably not from Team Legend or an R&B/pop gal, so that takes out about half the remaining artists right there. GNT opened last week and Wendy closed, so I’m assuming neither is opening tonight. That leaves the following artists to open: Jeremy, Jim & Sasha, Holly, Paris, or Lana. Of those five, I’m thinking Lana has the most likely opener song with Paris as a close second.

 

As for the closer, I’m 80% sure it’s going to be Holly to get Ariana’s team a boost after last week + her song choice screams “closing act” vibes. If it’s not Holly, Joshua would be a solid choice, as would Hailey.

Joshua's song choices have been excellent. Falling, You & I and You will be Found.... perfect for his voice...  Samuel Harness should take note..
