My standouts: KB Richins McKenna Breinholt Kayko Ajii Justice Murphy Solid group of contestants overall! When I first heard Kayko sing, one of my first thoughts was “this guy is right up my and Someone648’s alley” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildestinvegas Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) abi carter is amazing. the control, emotional delivery and colors of her tone (that rasp/cry on her high notes is to die for), whew. guess i will be skipping the voice this season and focusing on idol (like it always happens w every spring season LOL) but even aside from her, there is so much talent on idol as per usual. really dug mckenna, nya, blake and kayko auditions too.

This seems like one of the strongest idol seasons they have had in awhile. So that's exciting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie_On Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 The Voice gets more total viewers while Idol does a bit better in the 18-49 demo. TBH, I really don’t get why a younger artist would go on The Voice unless they’re part of a group. Although I believe Idol should raise their age limit to around 35. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamAudra Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) I haven’t watched any episodes of The Voice, but I’ve checked out enough of the performances to agree with the above who say this season of Idol’s cast is stronger, overall. I will say this though…the weaker contestants on The Voice are better than the weakest auditioners on Idol. I think that is by design, honestly. Will Moseley is better than any male country singer I’ve ever heard on The Voice. Abi, McKenna, and Emmy all show good potential as well, even though I may not be as high on all of them as some others. Hailey is showing promise too, but that other group of females is getting pimped more, probably due to better back stories. Emmy is Loretta Lynn’s granddaughter. Tough to compete with that. There is way more pimping and manipulation on Idol. I could do without some of that. It’s really over the top.

TeamAudra Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) Something else I wanted to mention…I appreciate that Idol lets them perform originals on the show, and they’re even allowed to release new music DURING the show. It’s much more contestant friendly. I would never advise anyone to go on The Voice. The show has become a punch line, as it relates to post-show success. They absolutely do not care.

Hsamid Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) After the first 2 episodes of AI, I've liked the performances on The Voice more. Feel like they really stacked those first 2 episodes. The later audition episodes felt weak in comparison, while the performances on The voice have been improving. Hope Hollywood week steps up like the battles did for The voice. Not looking forward to inevitable drama shenanigans though.. speaking of which, feel like judge shenanigans has been even worse this season. Or maybe my tolerance level for it is just getting lower every season lmao. Edited March 27 by Hsamid 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to getting that whittled down in the next couple of weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gustavo527 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) I lost interest on Idol after the second episode. IMO, that show is not worth watching until the voting rounds start. The Voice's format (at least pre-voting) really keeps you invested on the game. Also, from my personal point of view, watching the contestants perform on stage, in front of an audience since the beginning makes me feel more interested in each of them. It's not the same just watching them singing a cover on a room for three people. Feel free to disagree but it's how i feel.

TeamAudra Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) Again, my biggest gripe with Idol is the over the top pimping and insincere judge comments. None of those judges are good enough liars to make it believable. Everyone is a “star.” It comes off as phony when they repeat the same things to almost every contestant. I’m sure this is a directive from the producers. I’ve also noticed that the audience for that show is very receptive to the pimping, which is probably why they keep doing it. It’s nauseating.

Feel free to disagree but it's how i feel. tbh this is valid. i do love the intimate feel of auditions because it puts more of a focus on the contestants voices and can create some really beautiful performances, but i understand how it could feel boring/repetitive without the aspect of the band. basically what you said, but i feel like The Voice has become a show that emphasizes their pre-live show format whereas Idol emphasizes their live show format. potentially hot take, but I feel like it works for The Voice in a sense? the blinds, battles, knockouts, and playoffs are what make the show differentiate from Idol.

QueenKalie Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Both shows are formatted differently which I think is a good thing. The Voice is front loaded where as Idol is back loaded so preferring ons format to another is just personal preference really. I'm not too huge on format and will gravitate towards the show with the stronger contestants. This season it's just a landslide in favor of Idol over The Voice as far as contestants go. When you have a season that is made up of leftovers then it's going to be hard to keep my attention. I probably won't get reinvested in the voice until they move to a 1 season a year schedule. That is just badly needed at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCami Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 ya i think ifol hollywood and audition is a little boring. too much manufactured drama and weak singing. top 24 onwards though is usually great with multiple standout contestants. plus there are so many rounds / performances from each contestant who goes far 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie_On Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Hollywood Week is getting a change-up this season which should make things interesting. I’ve always thought they make the contestants sing TOO much in Hollywood Week, which hurts their voices by the end of it. From what I can tell, the new HW will consist of just two rounds: Arena and Showstoppers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamAudra Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Hmmm….inexperience is starting rear its ugly head with some of the Idol contestants. Some of these would be battle or KO elims on The Voice, but they’re early frontrunners on Idol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People say the Idol contestants are more appealing, more marketable, but as the season wears on, the ones who aren’t used to gigging and live performances start to fall off. The grind of the show tends to favor singers who are used to the grind of the music industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hsamid Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 (edited) Since I feel like the preference towards Idol this season is due to having the better female cast, im wondering if yall prefer the male cast on The Voice or IDF? I think it's pretty close, at least for the top talent Imo, the best idol contestants (Odell, Ajii, Roman) have lots of soul, raw, grittiness and incredible agility while the best of the voice are more wide range belters (Asher, Gene, Bryan). Very different strengths. I like Tae and frank better than any of their genre counterparts on Idol though. I'd also say the weaker male singers on either show is worse on AI. The only clear edge I'd give AI is with the singer/songwriter type. I mean, I guess Kyle is the closest the voice has this season. But I'd take Jack over him pretty comfortably.
