Season 13 Finale

Image
After an amazing season up to this point, it was finally time for the Season 13 Finale! I was looking forward to this episode, as all four singers were great, and The Finale is when the contestants pull out all the stops, so I knew that we were going to be in for several amazing performances. The episode started off with a group performance with Rita and the final four contestants singing “Pink Pony Club” by Chappell Roan. I enjoy it when they let Rita sing, as she is a great singer, and I also enjoy the group performances, as they let the contestants stand out together, and this was the second time in the show’s history that an episode started off with a performance from a panelist and the contestants. I also loved how when she said the word “wicked” in the song, a green light flashed that made her skin look green, and she also changed the lyrics to “leaving London Town” as opposed to Tennessee in the original song, those were cute touches. I also loved how at the end of the performan...

The Semifinals

Image
After an amazing episode last week with The Quarterfinals in Soundtrack Of My Life Night last week, it was time for The Semifinals! I was looking forward to this episode very much, as we were at the final four with four amazing singers, and I knew that we would be getting four amazing performances. When the trailer for this episode dropped, I saw that there was going to be a twist that had never happened in the show before, so I had an early guess as to what was going to happen, and by the time the episode ended, I found that I was right in what I thought was going to happen. The episode opened with a group performance of “HandClap” by Fitz and the Tantrums. As I have said many times before, I always enjoy group performances, as they give the contestants a chance to stand out together, and they always pick the best songs for it. As there were four contestants left, they would each be performing in two face offs, with the two winners of each face off going straight to the finale, and th...

Soundtrack Of My Life Night AKA The Quarterfinals

Image
After an amazing episode last week with The Lucky 6, it was time for The Quarterfinals with Soundtrack Of My Life Night! I was looking forward to this episode, as this is one of the theme nights that gets brought back season after season, and it allows for some great performances of the contestants singing songs they have a personal connection to. The episode opened with a group performance of “More Than A Feeling” by Boston. I enjoyed this for many reasons, one being that it’s one of my favorite songs, and another being that I always enjoy the group performances, as they let the contestants stand out together, and they always choose the best songs for all of them to show off their voices together, and I was surprised by how great it was for all five of their voices. After that, Detective Lucky Duck came out and said that one of the contestants there stole something very valuable from Robin.  After that, it was time for the first performer of the night, which was Coral. For each cl...

The Lucky 6

Image
After nine amazing episodes with all three groups, it was time for the groups to merge with the Lucky 6! I was looking forward to this episode very much since it was announced before the season started, as I knew it meant that two contestants would be moving on at the end of each group, and in a lot of the past seasons, when only one contestant moves on at the end of each group, it resulted in other great contestants getting robbed, so I was looking forward to hearing more amazing performances from the Final Six. The first performer of the night was Mad Scientist Monster. In this episode, there weren’t really that much to the clue packages, as it mostly consisted of each contestant sharing brief information about themselves that they already said so far, along with them saying one additional thing about themselves meant to help narrow down the panelists guesses, before a colossal clue was presented onstage. For Mad Scientist Monster, he said that he was not Keith Urban, but that they h...

Decades Night

Image
After an amazing episode last week with Boy Band Night, it was time for the Group C Finals with Decades Night! I was looking forward to this episode, as it’s another theme night that does not result in restrictive song choice, so I knew that we would be getting a variety of different song choices. I was also looking forward to hearing the last three Group C contestants again, as all three were very good singers. 
The episode opened the same way as all the other Group Finals, with a group performance of the song “My Sharona” by The Knack. I always enjoy the group performances, as they let each contestant stand out individually and together, and they always pick the best songs for it, and in this case it let all three of them show off the power in their voices. After that, it was time for the first performer of the night, which was Yorkie. In her clue package, she said that the decade she chose was the 60s because they remind her of her mom, and she instantly pictures her as a young woma...

Boy Band Night

Image
After an amazing start to Group C last week with Carnival Night, it was time to see them again with Boy Band Night! I was looking forward to this episode, as this is technically a theme night the show has done before, as Boy Band songs were performed on Trolls Night in Season 10, and all the other times that they have brought back past theme nights, the episodes have been great, so I expected it to be the same. As the episode got closer, I found out some more information through the listing on the website The Futon Critic, which was that with the exception of one artist, the other three songs that were going to be performed were from three different Boy Bands than the ones that were featured last time, which I thought was cool, and there were also going to be clues delivered in the episode by Chris Kirkpatrick and Omarion, two past contestants who were also in Boy Bands, which I thought was cool as the show did the same thing when it was Girl Group Night in Season 11. The first perform...

Carnival Night

Image
After more than a month since the season premiere and six amazing episodes with Group A and Group B, it was time to finally meet Group C in Carnival Night! I was looking forward to this very much, as since we were going to be meeting the last five contestants seven episodes in, it almost felt like it was another season premiere. I was also intrigued by what the theme meant, as I only knew carnival as being a traveling amusement show, so I was curious as to how that would translate to the stage. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I was wrong in my assumption of what it meant, as I quickly found out they were referring to the festive season that occurs during the close of the Christian pre-Lenten period that is celebrated around the world. I was also intrigued as to what songs would be performed, as I knew that this was a theme night that was vague enough to allow the contestants to choose whatever songs they wanted to sing.  The first performer of the night was Yorkie. In h...
