Someone648 Posted December 12, 2023 Author Share Posted December 12, 2023 -Rubyβs solo was great. Didnβt exactly break new ground, but fantastic. Hope her finale performance takes her to another level so she shows that she truly deserves the crown. -The exile trio was meh. Huntley did great, Lila was pretty weak, Mac felt out of place but I canβt even blame him. Screw this Swift nonsense. -BIAS was uneventful and emotionless, sadly. 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion road Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) I just finished watching the presentations.Β Ruby and Huntley are definitely safe again.Β I see the other PV's are between: Mara vs Nini and Mac vs Lila. Β Jordan, Jacquie and BIAS are on the bottom. Although the first two did very well in their submissions.Β Β At this point we've had steals before the finals. Really, I wouldn't be surprised if on the bottom we can have Jordan, Jacquie, Nini, Lila and BIAS. And that the public decides to save BIAS. I hope I'm wrong.Β Β Nothing against BIAS, he's come pretty far in the competition, but he's definitely been the underdog in this round.Β Β Β Edited December 12, 2023 by Lion road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamAudra Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) Didnβt watch but checked the performances out on Facebook. I didnβt make it through to the end with some of them, but I saw enough to be able to form an opinion.Β Β Not a ranking, but tiers: Β Nini and Lila - Neither are PV locks, but they gave Β the most steady vocals. Lila closed because they want John to have a finalist, but she did deliver.Β Β Huntley and Mara - Huntley gave a good vocal, but the song choice did nothing for me. Mara is a tad overrated by IDF. She struggled with her low notes again.Β Β Jordan and Jacquie - Jordan might get some sentimental votes for the song choice, but that was nothing special. Jacquie should be singing country songs. I doubt she picked that.Β Β Mac - Boring as hell, but at least he wasnβt as pitchy as the two below.Β Β Ruby and Bias were seemingly competing to see who could be the most pitchy of the night. Both clearly benefitted from the editing in the pre-lives. I do not think Ruby is a PV lock after that, especially opening the show. She has struggled two weeks in a row now.Β Β Iβm not going to try to predict anything from this mess, other than Huntley is probably a PV lock. Everyone else should work on their save song tonight.Β Edited December 12, 2023 by TeamAudra 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Someone648 Posted December 12, 2023 Author Share Posted December 12, 2023 Jordan definitely took a step in the right direction. Best performance from her in several rounds, but the competitionβs steep. Glad she made herself a contender again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A vast majority of the comments under her video are positive, and while some are saying this wasn't her best, but they're still voting for her no matter what.

Kwamu Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 I kinda like BIASβ¦ Β Am i voting for him? No, but he has a unique voice that isnβt just typical country guy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hsamid Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 1 hour ago, QueenMae16 said: BIAS going through would be a joke, and would be similar to how Brayden got a PV in S22, although this time his competition slayed and it would be even more laughable for Minivan to push him through. The guy wasn't good tonight and he had a good song too. Β Mac would be alright, but I might consider this his weakest performance even if the song fit him much better.Β Β Without FB numbers(if those even matter that much) I'll say Mara and Nini get the other PVs tbh. Jacquie gets the IS, just an early prediction though. Β I do think BIAS is a much better singer than Brayden at their best though. Even with his pitch issues, Bias can move throughout his range and shows some agility from time to time Β Brayden was basically a 1 octave singer that sang lines straight with little to no variance. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenMae16 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 So far for FB numbers, kinda disappointing with Huntley. Ruby is clearly winning for the night but it might have been the song choice. Β Nini is doing surprisingly well too, and Mara is kinda low. Β This might mean so little especially with the single-vote rule, but just something to note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
