Sound Season 19 just went live this week, and already season – which was cut due to a late start related to COVID – has come to an end, with the final ending in a period of almost two weeks. While the series has received decent criticism in the past for its live playoffs Bloodbath, with four or five contestants going home overnight, Tuesday’s top 17 results show a big one. Eight The contestants went home.
Yes Sound Whittle also made the sudden top 17 last May with nine of the top nine, due to coronavirus-related causes – an epidemic hit in the middle of season 18, throwing everything away, and forcing both competitors and coaches to work from home. But that season was poor, regardless of whether the contestants were on the soundstage or in their WiFi-challenging room. However, season 19 is the strongest Sound The season in recent memory, in terms of intense talent – so, with a series of sorts returning to normal production, Season 19 will certainly benefit from a more comfortable cultivated and longer playoff round.
Anyway, here’s how it all worked out on Tuesday: Team Quota (another properly criticized element) Sound) Still to be played this week, the contestants with the top votes in each team moved forward immediately, each coach would then save one contestant, and the rest of each team would sing for instant save after the top vote taker.
On Team Kelly, R&B / Gospel Diva Dizze won the U.S. vote – Surprisingly, Kelly Clarkson had two popular country-style singers, Madeleine Concer and Tanner Gomes, but she was probably split by Monday’s public vote. An additional surprise was that Kelly, who usually prefers to go against rival coach Black Shelton with the country singer (and has won the show twice by showing it), instead saved Goth-Pope Chanteus Comey Clu. But in this very absurd season, Kelly explained that she strategically wants to pick “someone who isn’t currently an alley on the show, musically wise.” Whatever the reason, whether surprising or not, I was thrilled by Kelly’s decision. I was surprised (or not thrilled) when Tener, the generic bro-country dude, got more votes on the technically superior midline.
Teen psychic Carter Rubin was America’s choice for Tim Gwen (again, not surprisingly), but Gwen Stephanie, who also enjoys the idea of competing against Team Black with a country artist, decided to go with Ben Allen, whom she stole from Black. . I really wish Gowen would have followed Kelly’s lead and saved the glamorous god goddess Page Turner, who – like Kami – took full possession of his own lane throughout the season. At least Gwen couldn’t save secondary Joseph Sol, which was my fear, but when Gwen weakly explains, “Hey, I’m just playing a game,” I don’t really think she would have thought through her strategy. Surely Ben will not be able to win over the singers of other countries of season 19. It’s a losing game.
Speaking of Team Black and country singers, America rescued Raspie-voiced troubadour Ian Flanigan, and Blake rescued a little less Raspie troubadour Jim Ranger. These were both true decisions, but the fact that ready-prime-time artists such as Taryn Papa and Sid Kingsley went home, while the amateur-hour County Fair Family Act Worth the Wet Instant Save Singoff went ahead, was trevesti. America certainly got that vote wrong.
And finally, on Team Legend, it came down to American choice, opera singer John Holiday; John Legend’s Peak, Power-Belter Your Jade; And yet another country’s opponent, Bailey Rye, who advanced to the instant save round. That means John’s hippest and most interesting contender, Jazzy Chloe Hogan, went home. This wasn’t even a surprise, but it was definitely a boomer. Clooney’s early exit was a perfect argument as to why this season’s playoffs should be longer than just three weeks.
Going into Instant Save Singoff, I thought Page could be a real shot, as the only non-country competitor out of four. The cover of Rihanna’s “diamond” was tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny. Zini Zini Zini Zini Zini Zini Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny Ziny A peachy, charisma-free, seemingly insulated mess (all three were clearly unresolved under pressure, and it was painful to witness), while Tanner’s “Pekin ‘Wild Flowers” was just a cornie hat-act karaoke. At least Bailey brought some sweet, solid voices to Lee Ann Womack’s convincing interpretation of “Never Again, Again,” so if voters were going to defend a country’s rival – which, of course, they did – I was relieved it was Bailey. (Side note: The show doesn’t show its normal carnage with instant save turnout percentages, so I’m surprised it was some kind of embarrassing landslide.)
So, now we have the top nine. And while there are four of those countries, interestingly, only two of them, Ian and Jim, are on Team Black – and none of them represent another coach who has ever led a country singer. Sound Victory, Kelly. Does Gwen beat her fianc with Ben? Will John eventually win with his first country artist? Oops, maybe not. But Ben and Bailey could end up in the final after next week’s bloody day (eventually with Ian and Jim) – when the top nine become the top Four. Should then.
