allistr Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 (edited) Michael B., just like Mary Kate, tremendously improved from his Blind. Ryley, as always, is really amazing, but I'll give the edge to Michael. Edited March 31, 2023 by allistr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTV Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 The consensus here seems to be that Niall used the pass as a save, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorWax Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Michael was amazing in that battle, I’d always liked his tone from his blind but here it was on full display. Ryley’s voice blended very well with his during the harmonies but I feel like it really was a song for Michael. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCami Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 the upbeat part in there was so weird and makes me think they didn’t rly think too deeply about what they were singing about michael was several orders of magnitude stronger than ryley. michael has a fuller, stronger voice, better falsetto (?), cooler runs here. would’ve been fine with ryley being eliminated to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael was excellent and there wasn’t anything to fault Ryley for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erik g Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 They were really good! I preferred Michael there, but Ryley was good too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie73 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 This was a very close battle. There was a large gap between their auditions but Michael stepped up a lot. It was good to hear him on a different song. I’m glad both made it through 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what shocked me about Ryley’s voice at first was how thin but powerful it was, but matched up against a fuller voice, it’s exceedingly clear to me that I prefer Michael’s voice. Furthermore, the rest of the singers I quoted have strengths / interesting elements that make me prefer them to Ryley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie73 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 By the way, this is not the first time a one chair turn named Michael beats a four chair turn in battles on a new coach’s team (though it’s unclear if the coaches interpret the playoff pass as a battle win or not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Ryley would have benefit more from the Knockouts, because Gina passed him as my Team Niall favorite, and he won’t be able to rebound if I like Gina’s Knockout. Not to mention that unlike Manasseh and Mary Kate, Ryley survives the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
