nigelsimon Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 (edited) Hello everybody. I used to be an avid singing competition show watcher & follower. I watched everything from Fox's American Idol, X-Factor US + UK, early seasons of the Voice, & other lesser known singing shows. I post on the old Idol Forums a decent amount back in the day; I was known for prediction threads & polls. I've lost considerable interest in singing shows the past 6 years or more. Recently, I've gotten a little bit of that interest back. I want suggestions on what female Voice artists I should check out on You Tube. Here's the criteria: Female, season 9 onward, nice pretty voice (*distinct voice, but doesn't need to be super distinct), decent looking (nice warm smile, kind eyes). I particularly like pop, indie pop, & country. I mainly want suggestions of artists that auditioned, but got cut before the main "live voting round". *I've 'briefly' checked out the top 5 from seasons 9-25 recently so suggestions from that field are not necessary, UNLESS you are really passionate about that person. *Please mention in the comments that you really really like that particular singer so I know to do more research on them on YT. Here's who I used to like back in the day seasons 1-8: Cassadee Pope s3 (solid), Jacquie Lee s5 (solid), Caroline Pennell s5 (like), Holly Henry s5 (really like), Christina Grimmie s6 (really like), Madilyn Paige s6 (like) Brooke Adee s8 (really like). I might have left out a few because it was a long time ago. Here's who I like season 9-25 (live show contestants) from doing light research on YT: Brynn Cartelli s14 (like), Chevel Shepherd s15 (solid), Maelyn Jarmon s16 (like) Thanks for checking out this thread. Looking forward to everyone's suggestions. Edited August 14 by nigelsimon Improved title thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCami Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 I would check out Cami Clune, her best performances are "Skinny Love", "Never Tear Us Apart", and "when the party's over." (I'm not just saying this because I'm named after her, I think she has a similar style to Maelyn) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used wiki to find the elimination order of each season & some of these season's elimination processes are so confusing, I must have missed her name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mostly just want to add some more of the artists' cover songs (that I prefer over the original artist) to my YT playlist. For the ones I really really like, i do start following them on Insta &/or TikTok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest, i was lazy and just looked for a random name on Wiki (i just looked for people eliminated pre-playoffs, like you asked). But i rewatched her audition and uff, for a chair turner she was bad. Sorry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

season1 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 (edited) These are the ones I made fan threads for. Maybe you'll like some of them Kyndal Inskeep - YT Topic / YT channel Julia Roome Keilah Grace - YT Topic Lauren Frihauf Joei (Fulco) Strader Tori Miller Madeline Consoer Damali Gutierrez There are a couple more voices (who didn't make lives) I like and I made fan threads for them, but they're more focused on non-music pursuits this time.

nigelsimon Posted August 12 Author Share Posted August 12 5 hours ago, Kitty Sammy 463 said: Maybe try Kara Tenae’s cover of “Leave (Get Out)”. That's a fine version, but I'm happy w/ the original version. ----- Songs from my playlist I could use an upgraded cover are: -"Gravity" by Sara Bareilles- someone w/ Holly Henry/Caroline Pennell type voice would be a great upgrade. -"Thinking out loud" by Ed Sheeran- Idol contestant Jenna Renae had a fantastic piano cover. It got private or deleted because I can't find it anymore. It's interesting I like that version so much because Jenna's other performance on Idol & her own stuff is just ok or mediocre to me. YT singer Jada Facer has a decent version similar to Jenna's cover I have as a placeholder at the moment. Someone w/ YT singer Tiffany Alvord's type voice w/ acoustic piano would be a great upgrade I think. -"Fix you" by Coldplay- I have YT singer Lucy Thomas's cover as a placeholder. Someone w/ Holly Henry/Caroline Pennell type voice would be a great upgrade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOWEVER, I do like that you listed a bunch here & most look like they are on the younger side so they have time to grow. If you OR anyone else can list girls that are archetypes of Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, or Miley Cyrus(the Climb days), that would be great. I think I can discover a hidden gem from that lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MateusSa Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Kelsie Watts from S19 was very good, and had one my favorites blinds Libianca from S21 had amazing covers on the show and originals after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like her Chandelier cover. Doing a little digging, she was actual on American Idol season 15, but got cut before the top 24. It's a small world because in Hollywood group round, she was actually in a 4 person group w/ the Jenna woman I mentioned a few times already. Libianca is not my cup of tea.

I don't mind that Maxwell-like singer. I have Maxwell's version of "this Woman's work" on my playlist B. I'm looking for a female cover of "Fix you" w/ that haunting, ethereal... Holly Henry/Caroline Pennell type voice. Brynn Cartelli has a cover of "Fix you" too & she's one of my favorites from light research. Her cover is good, but not good enough to take the spot of the current version I have from Youtube singer Lucy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigelsimon Posted August 13 Author Share Posted August 13 4 hours ago, thevoicefan said: Hailey Mia is so good Yeah, she's quite good & she was 13 yrs old at the time. I always thought the age requirements were 15 yrs old. Did they change it? Anyway, I think Hailey's missing that extra special something, either w/ her voice, look, or personality, & that's holding her back from record deals & other big dreams (at that time). You don't need to do much research to tell she really wants it. However, it's not a great look to come in 4th on the Voice & then a few years later, audition for American Idol. I can imagine that playing a part in her not getting enough votes to get in to the top 12. It was gonna be difficult for any pop girl, on Idol regardless, but her Voice past didn't do her any favors.
