Best Prelive Performance Of S26 (And rate the prelives)

[Hsamid]

Poll options were chosen based on who had the most votes in the best performance of (insert round) polls. 

 

 

But also, the votes were so spread out for some of those polls that I kinda had to fill a few slots with guesses of which performances would get votes. If I didn't include the best performance of the prelives in your opinion, then vote "other".

 

Feel free to make this a general discussion about the prelives  and to rank your top 5, 10, etc.

The first three rounds are among the weakest in the history of the show but the playoffs were surprisingly good.

 

My Top 5 (in no particular order):

 

Shye - Superman

Jeremy - The Impossible Dream

Cameron - The Way We Were

Danny - I Heard It Through The Grapevine

Adam - Think I’m In Love With You

[AliXRose]

Shye - Superman

Austyns' BA, KO & PO

 

Overall solid but ngl quite a lot of bad performances.

[Hsamid]

My top 10..

 

1. Cameron - the way we were

2. Austyns - Adore

3. Cameron - exhale

4. Sofronio - you don't have to say you love me

5. Shye - superman

6. Edward - send in the Clowns

7. Adam - Colors

8. Christina - wildflowers and wildhorses

9. Aliyah  - love and war

10. Sloane  - can't catch me now

 

HM: 

 

Dreion - shining Star

J. Paul - I keep forgetting

Danny  - IPASOY

Tate - Hurricane

 

 

Kinda surprised Austyn's PO performance isn't more liked on here, especially among the rnb/soul fans..I don't remember anything quite like it on the show (an entire performance in falsetto)

 

I'll give prelives a C. Playoffs were the only true standout round imo.

So... I was gonna make a best performance of the season poll,  but honestly I feel like we covered all the best performances of the season here cause no one topped their prelive material.

 

The only case is maybe Sofronio's semifinal and Shye' SF and Finale Ballad?  But does anyone actually like them over shye's blind, or Sofronio from Battle to POs?
