FloorWax Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 Wait, I actually really, really like Billy's voice lmao. His upper range is insane. Though, he's probably the embodiment of "technique over emotion" for me. I disagreed with the criticisms about Jordan not connecting, but whenever Billy showed an ounce of emotion it just felt like theater (*cough cough* My Way). It prevented me from getting into most of his live performances. Loved his audition though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Sundance was the best contestant from S11 but his "highs" pale in comparison with most winners', which is why I usually rank him towards the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strongly agree with this. None of his performances were memorable enough for me to want to rewatch a month from now. That’s why I contemplated putting him below Cassadee but girl just had too many weak performances for me to justify it. Plus, I rewatched her to make sure and I just don’t like her tone that much.

Misirlou Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Sundance is great. I actually did like the country -soul combination he has during the show, and yeah, definitely the most consistent performer of the season. Dude didnt falter. His finale set was particularly cool IMO. I agree that the Me and Jesus song choice is a adquired taste. (You should have seen Mjsbigblog's reaction lol, they shredded him to pieces, although they hate country more than IDF). That being said, I enjoyed it. That feet stomping ending was pure bluegrass, which I do dig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misirlou Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Also, dude can sing, but I really didnt enjoy Billy's run aside from his BA and PO. Not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliXRose Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Not my cup of tea but he's one of the very few country male contestants I respect. And tbh I was rooting for him to win the finale after the tragedy that we do not talk about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueenMae16 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Lauren is next of course, I'm sure you'll like her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misirlou Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Oh boy....S12 next. It´s a meme at this point, but still lord knows I´ve seen things get pretty heated here on several occasions when that topic is discussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie73 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) I’m just going to get this out of the way (because there are a lot of arguments that happen out of the Top 2). Chris and Lauren were both very good on the show, and deserved to be the Top 2. In terms of the controversy, people do go overboard here when talking about who “the real winner” is, even six years later. It would have been worse if Aliyah or even Jesse won. I don’t understand why the drama only happens with this result and not others. The result I was more frustrated about this season was that Gwen didn’t get a finalist that season, when she had two chances, and both ended up getting bad song choices in the Semis.

nytsch Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Sundance was good, although I agree about the lack of real standouts or performances I’d go back to. His finale was really good, glad to see At Last getting some appreciation and the original was surprisingly good too. Love Can Build a Bridge is a deserving second. Apart from that, yeah I often appreciated his reimagining of the songs more than I liked the performance itself. I’ve never been able to find the Me and Jesus performance lol, I didn’t even find it on Soap although maybe I’m just dumb? I feel like I would like it for some reason Ok, I really don’t know this is controversial (probably it is if I’m having to consider it lol) but I wasn’t really either Team Chris or Team Lauren? Lost my faves in the semis. I will say based on finale alone, I think Chris won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hsamid Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) I agree about Sundance. His highs aren't as impressive as most winners but I don't think it's due to lack of ability. I haven't watched his entire run since it last aired but I remember him not really exerting himself vocally. You got the feeling he could do more if he wanted to. I don't wanna say he played it safe either since he countrified non country songs. But something about him vocally was "safe" to me. Unlike say Craig or Adam who really put their all into some of their performances. Again, it's been a while so what I'm saying may not have any merit, but you know me, I like to type long paragraphs. That being said, he's still the most versatile and musical out of the 3 imo just based on his song choices and arrangements of them.

I’m on the same boat but unlike you I thought Lauren won finale night S12 is a weird season for me, I still don’t know how to feel about it. I think the lives lacked “moments” and I didn’t really have a snowflake, but its Top 12 is one of the most solid across the board and I enjoyed everyone who made Top 8 at some point in the competition which is extremely rare.

I don’t think I liked Aliyah at any point That sounds mean but yeah, at her best I thought she was okay? And she was often not at her best… Otherwise I agree.

Oops I forgot about TSoul As for Aliyah, I never thought she was that bad?? She had a great voice, and her first 4 performances + Jealous were very good imo. Her live shows were extremely average but Blake did her so dirty with those song choices. Her T12 and T11 in particular were “Suds In The Bucket” levels of sabotage Her finale performances sucked, I’ll give you that 43 minutes ago, Hsamid said: Funny you say that cause I honestly barely remember anyone other than Vanessa, Hunter, Chris, and Lauren.
