I agree about We. She was amazing on "I Have Nothing" last night. Beautiful voice! She made it look so effortless without being screamy.

She sure did! She just stands out to me after watching them all perform.

It's pretty cool they get to be at the coronation. The contestants sure seemed excited about Ed Sheeran! Did Alanis say they'd be singing her songs, so is she the theme? Wé Ani took on Whitney, and did pretty well! I have to give her credit for trying it. There were a few moments where I wondered, but all in all, great job. Oliver was boring again tonight. Nothing against him, he did a fine job, but he just doesn't stand out. Haven was better than last night, but it still didn't do much for me. I didn't mind MaryBeth's performance. (convenient that the judges keep tying each other -- it makes it look fishy!) I laughed at the reaction to Ed by the contestants... I thought to myself well at least HIM they know based on their age. I was excited over Alanis myself, JLP was the soundtrack to my life for a good long while. And Yes Arielflies , LOVED her as god in Dogma. I know I am in the minority but I really enjoy Oliver. I know many feel he is boring but that's just HIS thing, and it works for me I guess. I know he has not a chance in hell to win this... not with Wé and Iam around... and I am also pretty sure he was saved due to his Dad.. and I am honestly OK with that given the bottom 3. I would have like to see Marybeth Byrd stay (yes I did my best Luke impression in my head as I typed that out) over Zachariah or even Haven or I am also feeling that I may be in the minority on Zachariah too given how much I just do not care for him or his style or his anything and he keeps moving along week after week. Based on who is left in my mind he may be the weakest. If he ends up being another Noah and winning this season I am done with Idol.

I'm with you there, I'll never understand how Zachariah has made it this far. I'm not a big Oliver fan either but I'd rather listen to him than Zach.

I was not surprised at the three who were sent home by America. I don't think anything the Platinum card young man did on the show was as good as his audition. Mary Beth is a pretty girl with a pleasant voice who would win beauty contests. I was shocked that she did not know any of the three songs listed...one was Dolly and one was Crystal Gayle---two well known songs. Even though they were older, I would think a radio personality would know country gold.
Oliver reminds me of the coffee house singers of the 70s.... He has a good voice but the style doesn't change. I personally hate the wool knit hat that is the current trend. It just looks like such as affectation when those so inclined wear them in California in warm weather or maybe he has a huge bald spot that he is determined to cover.
I was surprised that Katy saved him and not the Platinum kid.
I agree with you all that Zachariah has gone very, very far on the weak gift he has. He looks and sounds like the guy that should be singing at the local VFW Saturday night.

She is 20/21 and works at a radio station that plays Shawn Mendes and Lady Gaga. That is what made me laugh when so many of the contestants were SO hyped about Ed being a judge this coming week, because they are all so young and he is someone they know. I do not watch the Voice as much as I had in the past so I did not know Marybeth was a top 8 on the show a couple seasons ago.. S17... John Legend's team. It is like she gets juuuust right to the end and stalls. I liked her but with Iam and Wé I am sure most of them, except maybe Lucy, had to know they would not win this season.

Agee with you as to the final two....both are stellar performers who don't look and sound like a dozen others already in the business.

Ed is coming to AI on the heels of the good news about his lawsuit.....I wonder if he would have showed up if he lost.

I am sure he would have, he comes off as one with a lot of integrity.. as was exemplified by his court case. The only thing I could see keeping hm from fulfilling his commitment would be something with his family; but I hear his wife is recovering well. Kinda on the same subject.. did anyone catch Katy in London yesterday, looking for her seat in her big had that blocked her view... and I am sure others. Poor thing almost faceplanted after too! Not her best day

Plus her dress by VW was universally panned as one of the least attractive.
