I lost one team member, Caroline. I just thought the audience would like her cute little self. I was surprised America saved Laith, I think Adam was surprised by that. The shame is some teams were better…Adam and Christina so some went home that were better than some who stayed.
I just watched Tuesday night’s show. Luckily, my team is still intact. I didn’t end up replacing Mary Sarah with Laith, but did replace Emily with Shalyah. I thought Emily played it too safely.
My team:
Adam Wakefield
Alisan Porter
Mary Sarah
Owen Danoff
Shalyah Fearing
I am taking a huge leap of faith with Mary Sarah. I thought she was just awful on Monday night. I am keeping her because she hasn’t peaked yet and I think she has a bigger upside than does Laith who may have delivered his best performances already. The show was also lacking a female country pedigree and she fills that spot.
If Mary Sarah wants to sing old country, she should look at the Tammy Wynette songbook.
I was glad to see two of the artists that were brought back go on to the next round, although I don’t really love Nick. I do like Daniel a lot and think his best performance is still yet to come.
I was also surprised that the audience vote picked Laith. I thought for sure the most votes would go to Shalyah and Owen, leaving Adam to choose between Caroline and Laith. In that scenario, I thought he would choose Caroline because she is a lot younger and cuter than Laith. LOL. I do like Laith’s voice, though.
Yes, I thought it must be my ears, but everyone has sounded off except Adam who just sang. I guess I’m cranky but I’m really tired of the guys singing soprano, too. Adam is my favorite so far tonight.
I guess no one forgot them, because the judges usually reference it. Bryan kept repeating “kiss from a rose” instead of doing another verse so I thought he forgot the words.
