How would you rank the Top 11? Hit comments with your thoughts.
11. Mark Isaiah – Team Adam Levine – Mark could become the singer who ends up in the bottom 2 week after week–just like Aaron Gibson last season. He could even ride into to the semi-final bloodbath on the backs of save me songs.
10. TSoul – Team Blake Shelton – TSoul is the weakest soul singer remaining, which isn’t too shabby considering how strong Vanessa and Chris are. He could end up in the bottom 2 next week. Or we could wind up with a battle of the teens – Aliyah vs Mark! Or maybe Lilli vs Mark. It all comes down to song choice.
9. Aliyah Moulden – Team Blake Shelton – Speaking of song choice: Blake saddled the Aliyah with the tough to sing “Heatwave” and it did her no favors. To keep the young singer in the game, Blake should probably choose old-schoolish bluesy numbers for her.
8. Lilli Passero – Team Adam Levine – Lilli’s song choice last week was baaaad (“Man, I Feel Like a Woman). If she comes off too theatrical at the expense of vulnerability, she’s not going to make it very far. Adam needs to find Lilli modern songs that will allow her to engage viewers with her jazzy style.
7. Stephanie Rice – Team Alicia Keys – On twitter, Stephanie revealed that she was learning another song she’s never heard before. If it’s the right song, she should do fine. So far, Alicia seems to be guiding Stephanie in the right direction.
6. Jesse Larson – Team Adam Levine – Hopefully, Jesse straps the guitar back on, because the combination of his vocal delivery and musicianship are what make him a standout.
5. Vanessa Ferguson – Team Alicia Keys – Vanessa nailed it last week with “Song for You.” When she allows herself to be vulnerable, like she was last week, she’s really at her best. I wish she’d done a little better on iTunes, though.
4. Chris Blue – Team Alicia Keys – Chris was absolutely spectacular last week. He’s the best all round singer/performer of the finalists. But considering the show’s demo, it’ll be hard to beat the country singers.
3. Lauren Duski – Team Blake Shelton – Lauren gets the #3 position this week. But she may not keep it. Her high iTunes ranking last week could be due to pulling the God card. Also, she and Brennley may eventually split the vote.
2. Hunter Plake – Team Gwen Stefani – Even without performing his personal best, Hunter still managed to chart decently last week. I don’t think he’s going to win, but the singer has a good shot at making the finals.
1. Brennley Brown – Team Gwen Stefani – Fifteen year old Brennley is not only navigating the stress of competition well, she’s surprisingly self-possessed for a youngun. Gwen isn’t just handing her songs (or Blake. I get the feeling he’s got a hand in this too), but the two seem to be really working as a team. Brennley’s look, her song choices and presentation have all been working for her. If she keeps it up, she could win.
