For me this is Julia easily, she had the most unique rendition and voice out of the three. Not to mention vocally impressive.

 

Followed by Zan, she has my favourite tone here.

 

Maelyn is last, her weakest performance but still very good which speaks to how good she was on the show

1. Julia - Loved it. Perfectly captured the atmosphere of the song and delivered it beautifully.

 

2. Zan - Really strong as well. I enjoyed how her tone worked for the track and lightness it brought.

 

3- Maelyn - Very good, but easily her weakest, which yeah, says a lot about her consistency.

Sorry Maelyn, but Julia takes this one. Also, she should have won that 4wko, and i will DIE on that hill, sorry:P

 

I love all of these, tho. Kudos to Maelyn because hers was the only one that it was live 

 

Also, stream Sugar Rush. Julia just uploaded the lyric video today:teeheewave:. Go and bless your ears

I love Julia but....just to be clear;  the comparison is between two autotuned and otherwise tweeked performances vs an actual what you see is what you get live performance?  That's just FU. Sometimes I think I live in an alternate universe from some of ya'll.  #applesandoranges

 

Best real performance:  Maelyn

Best deep fake: Julia (featuring the TV staff and lots of complex equipment)

 

Seriously. at this point, does anyone think the taped rounds are organic performances?  If so, AI is gonna love ya'll when it get here. smh

I get your point. However, the OP is asking us to compare all three, and we are doing it based on what we saw on TV. It's not fair to compare pre-taped performances to live performances, yes. But it is what it is. 

 

You gotta admit it, that Maelyn's performance was probably her weakest on the competition (and still was excellent, btw), so i get those who prefer the other two.

Right....but the comparison is an organically grown apple vs a chef baked apple pie.  Just because someone asked does not make it a valid comparison.

Everyone's aware prelive performances are tweaked in all kinds of ways. But people have been comparing prelive and live performances all the time, I don't see why only now it becomes an issue.

I'm just saying it should be acknowledged when comparing the two.   It's not much different than comparing a studio to a live version.

I’ve made the same point numerous times. I will rarely choose a taped (basically a studio version) over a live performance, unless I didn’t like the live performance in question. 

 

Kinda same but that only applies to a live vs studio from the SAME artist.  Comparing a taped performance from one artist vs a live from a different artist is FU IMHO.

Especially when it’s she same song. I remember having this debate with someone a few seasons back over “Blue” when they put up a similar poll.  I won’t get into specifics, but I’m sure you can figure it out. LOL

Ok, now i get it. I mean, you can look at any YouTube video of Casi Joy's audition and look at the comments saying how her performance is "a lot better" than Chevel's performance of the same song. Man, i roll my eyes at these comments🙄. People forget that Chevel performed it live, on national TV, in the freaking semifinal, with a lot of pressure behind, and still did a great job 

 

I don't want to go off-topic, but i wouldn't be surprised if a lot of these comments are from salty Kennedy/McKenzie fans :giggle:

Chevel still overwhelmingly won that poll by the way. :haha:
