Comments:

QK: Danielle is amazing and I am super happy that she made the top 4!  I was a fan of Danielle's from the Voice and I liked her first album but it wasn't till the I Don't Believe We've Met era that I became of full blown Danielle Stan. Every song on the album is fantastic my only complaint is that it was only 10 songs I would have liked more songs! Worth It I do think is the gem of the album but Potential and really all the other songs are bops as well. 

 

Wallace: Of course Danielle Bradbery manages to get all 3 of her songs in the finals in QK's game.   I am certain I heard all of these Danielle songs before through IDF, but I don't know which is my favorite of these songs. But this is really good. This is a really pretty, powerful and moving song from Danielle. I like the heart and emotion she pours into the song here. The chorus is my favorite part and is a really powerful part of the song.  

 

Steven: I really like Danielle's vocals here, especially in the chorus.

 

Chris: This is apparently one of her fans' favourite songs of hers - I can see why but I don't think I'd go back to it. If I were to go back to one of her song, I would go back to Potential.

Good I hope playing in this round was worth it for you.

[QueenKalie]

Also I prefer @*Wallace scenario where the top 3 was my #1, #2 and  #20.

[QueenKalie]

I am going to post the rest of the top 3 tonight so free to make any top 3 predictions. 

[*Chris]

Space Cowboy will win because of QK's 20th ranking of Cry Pretty  

[*Diana]

I don't think Cry Pretty is winning that's a shame too.

[*Chris]

Again, IHLS could win because I don't think anyone tanked it. 

I will remember from now on

Comments:

 

Chris: :When I first heard this song, I fell in love with it right away - if you know me, you know that I absolutely love ballads especially this kind of ballads. The way you can feel the meaning of the song through her voice speaks volume to her storytelling capability. As well, I will use this occasion to promote Brandon Stansell's version of the song - Brandon is a gay country male singer who deserves all the recognition in the world, among many other underrated singers that deserves more recognition but fail to have it due to the lack of diversity in the country music industry mainly country radio.

 

Steven:  Maybe I've heard this song before, but I can't remember. Listening to it now,  it's not what I expected based on the title. The lyrics are clever, and Kacey sounds pretty as she always does.

 

 

QK: Golden Hour top to bottom is a great album and Space Cowboy is no exception there. Rainbow is still my favorite from the album but Space Cowboy is good too.

 

Wallace: Of the two Kacey songs here, I feel more familiar with "Space Cowboy." This is a really pretty, emotional and vulnerable song from Kacey. She always sells emotion so well with her songs and this is no different. She sounds really pretty here too. The part that always stood out to me was that you could have your space, cowboy. I always found that part unique as I did not expect that from seeing the song. Anyway, this is a really nice song and I do enjoy this from Kacey - though I am still #TeamHighHorseandRainbow. 

[QueenKalie]

#3 is up @*Chris @*Wallace @*Diana @jarmon @Steven_ @1234567890 @taylorkat

[*Diana]

looks like my #3 is winning! not too bad.

[*Wallace]

Oooh.... well Danielle's WI and Kacey's SC were the next two songs I was hoping to show up at #4 and #3 and they did, so yay.

 

 

So yeah, my theory of "Cry Pretty" being QK's #20 is pretty legit here as I was thinking this would be it the last few days.  So explains the closeness within the Top 2, to me.

[QueenKalie]

our top 2 scores were 5.375 and 5.5 which translates to literally 1 ranker moving up or a down a song 1 spot as the sole difference between the top 2!

Hmmmm okay, I definitely noticed some veryy fishy business in someone's rankings, that I am REALLY curious about to see when it all gets revealed.  I have my theories on predictions. But my final guess is that Kelsea's IHLS wins by 1 point.

Care to share your conspiracy theories?

Hmmm okay, I'm not sure how to share it all.  But I think the big twist and shocker is that Victoria has "I Hate Love Songs" at #1 and "Cry Pretty" at #15, which I didn't see until doing calculations. I was doing calculations the other way with CP as her #1 and IHLS as her #15 - but CP still had a dominating lead there. But I am thinking this as my prediction theory.

 

 

CP: 4+1+1+1+20+1+15+1 = 44 / 5.5
IHLS: 1+8+3+11+2+14+1+3 = 43 / 5.37

In order of Akshar/Chris/Diana/Gigi/QK/Steven/Victoria/me. And lol yes, I'll reveal my own stats as it's the final 2 now.  I could still be wrong and have some people's numbers wrong but this is what I'm thinking now.

Love the effort you put into that. But I still don't see anything fishy.

Thanks.  Well, moreso I'm shocked with Victoria's ranking (if I'm right) with her saying this could be Carrie's year to win.

 

But I don't want to accuse anyone of anything before everything gets revealed. But I'm curious!

Maybe she didn't want that to happen.

That's very possible.  Definitely could have been a mind trick on us.

she does win a lot for a reason I guess.

[jarmon]

Omg if “I Hate Love Songs” does win, I’m going to be very happy
