Did anyone else notice that when Laith was called, he cheered and ran off the stage to Adam without even acknowledging the other two contestants standing there? I laughed out loud at that.
My predictions in order…Adam, Allisan, Laith, Hannah.
I noticed Laith ran off the stage without acknowledging the other two, but I also noticed right before that Bryan and Mary Sarah were arm in arm and standing about a foot away from Laith. It looked really awkward and like he was definitely the odd man out.
Laith has been standoffish with the other contestants on the stage all season. I figure it’s because this is a man who has been trying for years to break though, and he isn’t about to pretend he doesn’t care whether or not he wins. He wants to move forward in his career, and I don’t think he feels any need to act as if he would be just as happy if a teenager wins it as he would if he wins it. He isn’t there to make friends, he’s there to land a better-paying gig. Can’t say I blame him.
Yes @eyemamom. Husband commented on it immediately. He’s got the talent, but no personality.
Right now I’d go with Alisan, Hannah, Laith, and then Adam (probably because I don’t like country).
I get the whole bachelor mindset…I’m not here to make friends. But, a person who can’t at least make nice isn’t someone who will be chosen by others.
I see this at work all the time, the managers and sales people who build rapport end up more successful than the people who focus solely on the task.
I thought Laith seemed extremely sincere and appreciative of those who had downloaded his music during his audition camera time on Monday’s show. Why did he do what he did after receiving the save? I don’t know, but he seems like a genuinely nice guy to me.
I was wondering if he worries about looking like a creeper… hairy older dude with his arm around a 15 year old. Yeah, he could have hugged them but maybe he’s been standoffish for a reason and got so excited he just forgot to switch gears.
Maybe he’s an introvert and just being himself. I’m not going to read too much into a few moments caught by the camera. Honestly, I often find the more extroverted behavior and the instant shared intimacy exhibited in these kinds of shows kind of phony.
Laith has won other awards -

Laith seems very nice to me, but I just get the feeling that he really, really, really wants this and isn’t afraid to wish it like crazy while standing up there waiting for his name to be called.
I don’t think he’ll win The Voice, but I think he is incredibly talented, and I really hope he can get some good gigs out of the exposure. He plays a lot at a very small venue near me, but he hasn’t been booked in his hometown, which has a couple great small venues. In addition, I hope he can get his music played on an independent station (or CBC Radio).
Laith seems a lot nicer to me than Hannah. She never smiles except when she’s being goofy.
Hannah is just so awkward. I can’t stand to watch her. Someone needs to tell her to stop the flailing arms!
Here we are at the finale. Leith doing The White Room.
Loved, loved, loved everything about it! 
Christina’s outfit tonight says !HellOO!
That super long Lowe’s commercial was cute.
Loved Hanna’s song. And the commercial was cute.
Great show so far! I LOVED Hannah’s version of that song (Yes, I see the arm problems)… Laith’s song is a favorite of mine and he did it well. I’m not sure the younger generation will like it as much. Alison’s song was good. I loved that Lowe’s commercial more than any Super Bowl commercial I’ve seen.
I loved the Lowes commercial too. I agree that Hannah is awkward.
Love, love white room and love this version. Kid listen to “our music”. Mine were subjected to it all their life but so many younguns are discovering it all over again. Love the original…Ginger Baker my all time favorite drummer.
I’m not loving the duets. Christina and Alisan were pretty good. Pharrell is just not that great a singer and that song was a terrible choice for him and Hannah. I think Adam was overshadowed by Blake this week and by Alisan last time he did a duet. Adam and Laith were ok but not memorable.
