Underrated contestant that don’t get as much hype as they should


Recommended Posts

Honestly you could easily name a lot of the great early season contestants. They are rarely talked about on IDF these days. Judith Hill, Sarah Simmons, Sasha Allen, Trevin Hunte, etc.

Some less popular choices:

 

Meagan McNeal - Season 13's forgotten AA powerhouse. She 100% should have gotten a steal, especially that early in the battles. I've looked at some of her stuff off show, and she's incredible!

 

Terrence Cunningham - I know IDF isn't generally very fond of Terrence, and I never really understood why. Most don't appreciate how talented this guy actually is. All of his pre-live performances were absolute bangers

 

Tish Haynes Keys - Probably overshadowed by Kyla for the most part, but I would have loved to see her in the Top 12 over DR. Her knockout was INSANE. Her battle is super underrated as well.

 

Patrique Fortson - He went out on a high note and never got the attention he deserved. Not a single off performance from him. Best male vocalist of Season 15 imo.

 

Ricky Braddy - He made it all the way to the playoffs, had (imo) the best knockout of Season 17, yet seemingly no one noticed him or talked about him after his elimination.

Terrence and Patrique are some of the best male vocalists this show has had. I do think Patrique gets a lot of appreciation on here though. Everyone agrees he's one of the most underrated contestants.. which kinda makes him no longer underrated.

 

Agreed with the other choices though

Katriz Trinidad from S7. Her confidence and stage presence at FIFTEEN were shocking. It was a bit weird that she didn't get carried through the competition by the age factor ("omg you're only 15!") because she puts others like Reagan Strange, Hailey Mia, Carter Rubin, etc. to rest. Even her losing KO was excellent.

katriz is definitely good. didn’t expect that range from her at the end of at last. there were some pitch issues but willing to forgive that bc her audition was very exciting vocally. 

 

battle song wasn’t made for her and her partner encapsulated the song much better but i guess her moving on is fair

 

beginning of her knockout is stunning but the arrangement didn’t feel great and it started to get slightly yelly at the end though i enjoyed it nonetheless
