This episode solidified (for me) that Colin is most likely not winning this season! He received a really bad edit considering he is supposed to be the main WGWG frontrunner. His performance, which was genuinely not good and did not really receive praise from the judges, was shown right before Iam's. Iam went on to overshadow him with both his performance and the praise it received. The judges also purposely put Colin in a deliberation group with Iam and Matt, and they purposely put Iam through first. If they really wanted Colin to be a contender for the win, they would've given him his own deliberation and not have him be overshadowed by frontrunner Iam. With all that being said, I think Iam is winning this season unless he really fumbles the bag with song choices in live shows. He's very relatable, endearing, and has a timeless voice that appeals to many different groups of people. I just hope they don't overpimp him too much because I won't be able to enjoy him as much if that's the case :( 

 

Only other thoughts I have are on Elise, Emma, and Olivia. 

 

Elise and Emma both gave worthy performances and got positive reception from the judges. Will it be enough to shake things up at Top 26? Idk. Additionally, I can see Olivia being a Top 26 shock boot. She hasn't gotten much screen time since her audition, and her All By Myself performance wasn't as good as it could've been. The fact that she is singing Emotions for Top 26 may not bode well for her... 

 

Olivia is my favourite this season but the song choice (“emotions”) makes me nervous for her (it would for anyone, such a hard song to sing live?!)
 

however, based on this tiktok I think she can pull it off, she sounds amazing on it here

Based on the rehearsal/final clip of the real performance, she sounded fine but strained. Probably cause she was moving around alot as well

 

We'll see thou

Guys, they’re bringing back the Judges’ Song Contest this season!!! 💙🙌🏻😭😭 Nick and I actually liked that round of the competition last season (although it ended with Tristen’s elimination, sadly), and I can’t wait until the return of this KILLER live round!! 💙

The Futon Critic updated it! I'm super happy and excited they are bringing this theme back. TPTB listened for once!

 

Also, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame episode is confirmed to go from Top 12 to Top 10. Judges Song Contest is Top 10.

 

Surprised they aren't doing Disney night at Top 10, but VERY happy!!! It will probs occur at Top 7 instead, but that's fine because there will be another theme alongside it.

Any guesses on possible performance order for both Hawaii shows? 

 

On 2/13/2023 at 1:57 AM, Idol Maniac said:

 

Elise Kristine - “Holding Out For A Hero” by Bonnie Tyler (from ‘Footloose’)


Emma Bussee - “Lay Me Down” by Sam Smith

 

Haven Madison - “The Middle” by Zedd, Maren Morris, & Grey


Kaeyra - “Don’t Let Go (Love)” by En Vogue

Lucy Love - “What’s Love Got To Do With It?” by Tina Turner

 

Mariah Faith - “You Should Probably Leave” by Chris Stapleton

 

Matt Wilson - “Speechless” by Dan + Shay


Nailyah Serenity - “Lovin’ You” by Minnie Riperton

 

Oliver Steele (with guitar) - “Better Together” by Jack Johnson

 

Pjae - “Golden” by Jill Scott

 

Warren Peay - “Set Fire To The Rain” by Adele

 

William Guy Tongi (with guitar) - “Don’t Let Go” by SpawnBreezie

 

Zachariah Smith - “Lucille” by Little Richard

 

None of these scream closer to me tbh, I listened to Iam’s song choice and I’m not seeing it. Possibly Elise or Kaeyra if they want to give some underdogs a chance to shine but I’m not expecting much. Yk what yeah Iam’s probably closing again lmao

There's pics in the gallery of the performances and the only people performing in the daylight are Elise/Oliver for Group 1 and Elijah/Paige for Group 2, so it can be expected that they will be the first 2 performers of each episode.

 

Everyone else is performing during the nighttime so it's hard for me to make any other running order predictions. Iam's song is definitely not a song that screams "pimp spot" so it will feel weird if they give it to him, but he seems like the most likely guess for Group 1 at the moment.

 

For Group 2, my guess is Tyson. I'm guessing TPTB will want him to be able to bounce back from the messy showings in Hollywood.

Why does Haven look like she's cosplaying Belle lmao

 

What if Warren closes? I feel like they usually close with ballads and he and Emma are the only ones with that kind of song. Nailyah too but let's be real.

So it's probably likely that we wont get performance order for both nights till they actually air?

Maybe if they reveal the contestant voting numbers in advance? Otherwise, probably not :(

Y'all, Iam told Emma she "looks like sh!t" in this video 🤯 🤯 This is our chance to expose and dethrone him so this season has a chance of getting a female winner 😍

 

He does seem like the friend who roasts you all the time 😄

Lol it's kinda crazy how viral Iam is going. I just checked Youtube and apparently his Showstoppers performance has 3.1 million views (it's been 4 DAYS). That's more than every other performance this season besides his own audition and Cam Amen's (who has 3.2m).

 

Outside of Youtube, you just have to search his name on TikTok to see a bunch of videos with hundreds of thousands of likes. One video of his audition even has 6.4m likes and 45m views 😳

 

I don't blame Idol producers for overpimping tbh; they know he's gonna bring in that coin for them 🫢🤑

I hope that Iam ends up having a great career whether he wins or not. Continue that hype after the show and make a name for yourself!

That’s what I’m saying when I tell people that Iam’s popularity is far beyond what Alejandro and Willie’s were. He’s going to be hard to beat.
