Hsamid Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Only popped in to say Nya is an absolute beast of a vocalist. She has a raw sound when she's belting, almost like her voice is on the verge of breaking (which is why I can see people not liking her) but it comes across controlled, especially with how she jumped octaves and executed those quick runs. But my favourite part was actually the start, and I'm kind of obsessed with the way she sang "front doorstep". I think I prefer that side of her voice. Either way, she clearly knows what she's doing. Dynamic voice and great technical skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueenKalie Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 An interview with Emmy Russell. She will be singing 2 original songs tonight. She talks about nerves here and how she almost quit but a producer was able to calm her nerves down enough to perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie_On Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Surprised they didn’t give Nya a platinum ticket considering how much they raved about her. And I wonder if Emmy will sing her song about wanting to be skinny (I think it deals with an eating disorder?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, be prepare, he has a record label behind him. Haven Madison was on some promos for the show. Like Colin, she is signed to a label. That's how it works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Stough is the only reason they are airing Noah Peters’ audition. He’s not in the T24, heck he’s not even in the T57. They just wanted an excuse to remind Idol fans that Colin exists.

TeamAudra Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I think “Rise” is decent. As far as being something the viewing audience will recognize, and can sing along to…probably not, but maybe that isn’t a big deal at this point. Hailey isn’t particularly strategic when it comes to song choices, but it’s probably better in the long run that she sings the types of songs she would sing off-show. “Rise” is a better option than some of Katy’s other songs.

That's because the song went nowhere. It's obvious they were trying the replica the success of "Home" - at the Olympics. For Hailey, who placed high on The Voice, she will have to do something different, so she won't end up like We Ani, who fell short of being in the finale on Idol. She was flawless, but there was no growth arc. She had opportunities to take risks - i.e., with the mentors, where she could have chosen song writing, but she played it safe with stage presence - which she really didn't need.

She managed to make the finale on The Voice, but it certainly didn’t come easy. I’m not sure if you watched it. She lost her battle, and was stolen by Kelly. Then she needed to beat 3 older, more experienced singers in the instant save just to make the lives, after failing to get a playoff public vote after a strong performance. Her instant save performance was a “moment,” after bawling back stage, according to her mom, after the playoff results were revealed. She eventually made the finale, and sang songs by Olivia Rodrigo (her second one by that artist) and Billie Eilish. I suspect if she had better song choices for the average viewer, it wouldn’t have been such a struggle. What I described above might be why “Rise” resonates with her. She was the “underdog” on that show, and she’ll probably be one on this one too. Edited February 25 by TeamAudra 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m1key Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) I don't think it's that deep lol. I think the producers felt she was strong enough to fulfill the "contestant who auditions with a judges song" narrative + she is auditioning in Katy's hometown. They may want to establish a connection between her and Katy as pop girlies. Edited February 25 by m1key 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
