The general population is not ready for Ziggy because we don't know if he is a trans or just trying to pull a Bowie. He's too feminine to be Bowie. Which makes me think that he's transitioning to female. People are not falling for the trans stuff because trans people are BS-ing not only themselves, but the public. It's pretty much like, why did we vote in a senile old man who is not really running the country? He's BS-ing us, too.
The fact that this doesn’t surprise me is the saddest thing in itself, Jayna and Roman deserved making at least Top 5. Will R&B/Gospel/soulful musicians ever win a reality singing competition again? 😭
I hope Jayna becomes the next JHud…she is a 🌟. At first when she chose Diamonds I was like ‘nooo, Willie owns that song for AI!’ Then she dedicated it to him. And still got voted off. Booo 😢
Not allowing the west coast to vote until the end of the show PST is just a death blow to any singers that appeal to anyone working a regular job with a family . It’s how the PAC12 died and it’s a blow to viewership…I had to vote without seeing the performances. That’s not a legitimate way to run a contest. I deleted the AI app. I don’t want to see Julia eliminated next week. Once again an all white show…the judges looked speechless…they likely thought about how dull the next few weeks could be😢
I tuned in from Europe and saw the bottom 3----one thing all three had in common, other than great talent, all are people of color! I'd rather not see America ever vote! it is unfair and unjust. and OBVIOUS!
I was hoping we would be able to vote. Sunday's episode was aired at 5 pst and I didn't know until voting was over. Hopefully this Sundays will air at 5 pst.
Voting during the show, when people havent even sang says a lot about the process. How can you vote properly like that? It means the singing doesnt matter, people will vote who they decided to vote from day 1. Good times when the show aired and the voting began after that, and the results were given at least the day after, not after the commercials...
I watch Idol next day on Hulu so I can’t vote either. Unless I just vote online for my fav without hearing them perform. But I like to vote week to week on who does best, imo 🤷🏻♀️
Totally devastated as well that 🎉 Jana and Roman are gone-they were the most musically gifted and my Top 2-and not to throw shade-but Emmy who is blah at best made it over either of them!!! On a happier note, Clark, thank you for releasing your sing with Ziggy it was sooo soooo beautifully sung by by both of you and this ending harmonic notes were utter perfection 🎶🎶🎶🎉🎉🎉 Now watch that 80,000 subscriber matrix happen!! Thanks again❤almost got rid of my sadness over Roman& Jana🥲
I get what you mean. It is a realistic part of the show that people are going to vote for what they'd listen to outside of the show. The talented voices that come in singing a genre the majority of the audience don't listen to regularly have an uphill battle to make it far after audience voting begins. I'm not a country fan, but I can't even be mad that voting block are watching and voting their favs in the top consistently. I didn't vote Roman because even though I can recognize he is talented, it isn't the type of singing I enjoy outside of the show. I wouldn't be upset if he won but also not upset he went home. Best we can do is hope our favs get enough recognition to get something set up outside of the show and support them.
@RednGone Nothing wrong with voting like that, either. Especially since many viewers won't listen to any of these people outside of the show. But like you recognized, most people don't vote like that. To be honest, I actually don't vote most seasons anyway. I have to really feel like I'm going to listen to someone long-term to have a strong enough opinion about the show to even watch live and be able to vote. It is extra hassle because I don't live in the US. I'm part of the problem. 😅
Kelly Clarkson. She can take on Chris Stapleton and make you forget it was ever a Chris Stapleton song. But, Kelly is a unicorn. She can literally sing anything. The woman has an exceptional gift. Setting her aside, agreed - some artists music is just Red Flag: proceed with extreme caution, humility, and self awareness territory. You’ve mention how you’re pretty much inviting a train wreck trying to take on Alanis Morisette for instance. Very true (and again, Kelly took it on and killed it). With you re Taylor. I’d love to be a swiftie. It seems like a fun if dramatic club to be a part of. Can’t do it. Total props to her, though, she’s conquered all the things and that is the rarest of accomplishments. Jayna is exceptional. She’s going to be fine. There is no universe where she doesn’t have a career in music. Same for Roman. I stopped getting upset about the best vocalists getting voted off eons ago. The ones who have “it” find their way. If I got upset about these things the Billboard charts would make me cry over the state of humanity weekly 😂 I think rasp and such distortions have become vocally trendy more recently. And I think they can run in the same territory as what I call the Vocal Gymnastics of runs and such where the vocalist comes to depend on them to get a reaction out of the listener instead of actually connecting with the song and connecting with the audience. I think it’s part of why country is so popular. Sure, there’s dogs and trucks and beer and all that, but there is still a strong tradition of story telling and emotional connection. That’s all but absent from most popular music now. Also probably a big reason why Taylor is so big. Whatever else I think about her music, she’s telling stories people relate to and connect to strongly. Love the duet. Thank you for sharing that with us. Ziggy ❤ what a smile, what a voice. Lovely treat 😊
No one is voting anyone out. We know this show is fueled by the fans, who feel compelled to vote. The audience does not ask themselves, who sang the best tonight? They vote to save their favorites. So the question should be- why couldn’t Roman and Jayna rustle up enough devoted fans? Is their mastery of runs and technical wonders not a match for the show’s demographics? I don’t know the answers, but that’s the type of questions to ask. No one voted them out as bad. Anyone would could see they were phenomenal. Is their style not appealing to the young people who vote?
Love your collaboration with Ziggy. He should still be in this competition. Further proof with Jayna, Roman and Nya, it's not about talent but popularity.
I agree about Emmy... I love her, and she has a special place in my heart....But...ya....And Oh Clark, that was SO beautiful...You and Ziggy....Just perfection.♥
Lying in bed and listening to your insights and as always am not disappointed. Yes I am disappointed in the cut of two diamonds. I LOVED the duet with you and Ziggi. TX for sharing your wisdom. Greetings from South Africa
I so appreciate intelligent commentary. I mostly agree with your assessments this week, but...Last season, from day 1, I was mesmerized by Iam Tongi's voice and execution. I cannot remember one single contestant from last year , other than him. I'm afraid the only voice that resonates in the same manner this season, is Mckenna's. Tristan's voice is also unique, but not one I'd pay to hear. Power, execution, tone, control, all matter. But in my life, there's been Sam Cooke,Patsy Cline, Joan Baez, Harry Belafonte, Joe Cocker, Leon Russell, Janis Joplin, Eric Burdon, Willie Nelson, Ray Charles, Judy Collins: Story tellers all, and a few more. Of course, there were also great singers, but each of the aforementioned were instantly recofnizable. Each had half a dozen songs (or more) that I'd listen to again and again. For me, that's what counts. For me, Mckenna's believable story telling voice is my choice. I also appreciate your continued T. Roosevelt reference.
Idol’s largest voter base is southerners who love country music and more country music. And they are southerners steeped in the history and traditions of the south. Put Loretta Lynn’s granddaughter on the show, and they’ll vote for her every time. Emmy has a sweet voice, but the fact that people vote for her and not Jayna tells you everything you need to know about who is voting. I don’t know why they don’t just do a separate show called country idol and let AI be about all the other genres.
Also, 12:45 reminded me of your incredible chops! Man, I wish you could be one of these coaches they bring on with all of your musical expertise. Makes me a little sick that the judges don’t give them any constructive criticism these days. **Participation Award**
I was also wondering about how fair the vote is especially for those performing last. If you base the vote on performance it definitely hurts the later singers. Obviously American idol has perpetuated the popularity contes by not basing it on Singing ability by posting the voting info BEFore anyone sings and allowing you to vote based NOT on a performance. A better way would allow voting till next morning and results the following broadcast. That’s the way it used to be
Agree with all your comments and because I've watched Idol forever, I kinda of saw it coming, but I was hoping I was wrong. Your duet was sensational - thanks for sharing
It's called American Idol not American Singer. The people who are still in have the most star power. That's the level America is thinking on. Who can be an Idol like Kelly Clarkson... so in that sense you can trust the voters.
But it's a singing competition, not a charisma competition. The reason why stars like Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Jordin Sparks, etc, became huge stars in the first place was because of how incredible their singing was. It wasn't their charisma, it was their singing that got them to where their at today. These days, the culture has changed in a horrible way where it's no longer about singing, it's about people's stories and their marketability. When the marketability should be their singing.
@@RednGone But that user was basically implying that the show was never about singing, and it was always about who is the more marketable when that's not true. That's where the recency bias comes from.
@@RednGone I feel like, and this is just my own input, I feel like sometimes the show tanks the voting process for their own favorites. Adam Lambert being a huge example of that, their's just no way that man didn't have enough votes to win. Why he didn't win, times were different, that's all I'll say about that. (if you know, you know lol.) That's why people like Phillip Phillips won, the show knows that they are marketable from their personality and their presentation, and when the show was at it's peak, sometimes they would favor that over talented singing. When Adam Lambert won, that's when that started to get worse imo. (imagine if we would have gotten a Adam Lambert Allison Iraheta finale, that would have been awesome.) But it didn't happen every season. Now with the ABC show, it's the voters now that favor marketability from personality and presentation, over talented singing. And this has been happening every season.
That duet with Ziggy was just out of this world wonderful. If it is possible, they should bring Ziggy back for a spot in the finals, it would bring down the house!!!!!!
Completely agree with your closing statements. Kinda been that way for a long time now. It pisses me off when talent like Roman's gets booted in favor of country girls and cowboys. Happens every time. I really like that Blocker kid. I hope he can hang on for a while. You do good work Mr. Beckham.
So sad Jayna was eliminated, time to bring the judges save back. I predict her exposure on the show will open some doors to stardom for her. Her voice is so beautiful. Best of the contestants IMHO. ❤
I voted for Jayna (my absolute favorite since auditions) and Roman every time. Can't believe they're both off!! Jayna please try out for The Voice (if you don't get picked up by then 🙌). And amazing duet Clark and Ziggy! 💗💗💗
Your duet w Ziggy was so beautiful! I am sad as well, to see Jayna & Roman got voted off. I especially love Jayna since her appearance in last season, her kindness is just as big as her talent. Best wishes to both of them.
Gonna miss ROMAN! Stunning duet, Clark. You should be famous and rich, I love your voice and tone. Same applies to Ziggy. A couple of my pics were gone before the pic 14. A couple are left and it’s because I enjoy country music.
I, as well, want to compliment your duet with Ziggy - your voices blend very well, and I think Ziggy was just so far beyond this competition when he entered it; I wish him every success. As for the current competition, I agree with you, Clark, as usual. People prefer either what is familiar to them sonically, or who tugs at an emotional heartstring with their personal story. To my disappointment, those with pitch and rhythm issues, which have been on display throughout the competition, are favored by the public for looks and personality over musicianship and execution.
Your duet with Ziggy was magnificent!!!
Absolutely loved your duet with Ziggy!! ❤
Yes, it was soo beautiful, gave me chills! Thanks for sharing it!
It made me tear up...😢
What a stunning duet! Poor Ziggy was robbed…what an angelic voice. Thanks for recording & sharing ❤
The general population is not ready for Ziggy because we don't know if he is a trans or just trying to pull a Bowie. He's too feminine to be Bowie. Which makes me think that he's transitioning to female. People are not falling for the trans stuff because trans people are BS-ing not only themselves, but the public. It's pretty much like, why did we vote in a senile old man who is not really running the country? He's BS-ing us, too.
The fact that this doesn’t surprise me is the saddest thing in itself, Jayna and Roman deserved making at least Top 5. Will R&B/Gospel/soulful musicians ever win a reality singing competition again? 😭
That ended with Ruben in season 2 and Fantasia in season 4.

Yes you are right ! @adkerlegand
Just Sam won in 2020
@@itmsworld you're absolutely right!
Absolutely. Roman was the most fascinating and inspirational performers, to me. Feeling the loss of his incredible contribution moving forward.
Heartbroken! Roman and Jayna were also my top faves! 😢
Heartbroken that Jayne din't make it...she is a pro!!
It's so stupid. Black folk need to vote!
I hope Jayna becomes the next JHud…she is a 🌟. At first when she chose Diamonds I was like ‘nooo, Willie owns that song for AI!’ Then she dedicated it to him. And still got voted off. Booo 😢
I think Jayna and Julia have the BEST pipes BUT it's NOT about who has the best voices. It's a popularity contest.
White women and white teen females are doing all of the voting.
I was shocked!!! Two of the best voices…ugh
You and Ziggy, wow, wow, wow!!! Serious goose bumps!!!
I loved Roman’s energy and his voice. So did the audience…when he didn’t get picked they were yelling his name out. So sad he won’t be back
Not allowing the west coast to vote until the end of the show PST is just a death blow to any singers that appeal to anyone working a regular job with a family . It’s how the PAC12 died and it’s a blow to viewership…I had to vote without seeing the performances. That’s not a legitimate way to run a contest.

I was hoping we would be able to vote. Sunday's episode was aired at 5 pst and I didn't know until voting was over. Hopefully this Sundays will air at 5 pst.
I don't know about the time zone thing but believe you. How on earth could this be something the show didn't/don't understand? That's not right.
@@adkerlegandI vote as soon as it opens up. Jayna and Roman were in my top 5.
I love this guy, his input is very concise and unbiased; always awesome to have true artist doing reviews on aspiring artists. Thanks.
Really beautiful duet. You guys were amazing together. Loved those top harmonies, Ziggy. Magnifique!

Agree. If you vote numerous times for one singer at the beginning, then your votes are gone if you change your mind later.
I watch Idol next day on Hulu so I can’t vote either. Unless I just vote online for my fav without hearing them perform. But I like to vote week to week on who does best, imo 🤷🏻♀️
AWESOME DUET w Ziggy!!! Loved it so much!!!⭐️🙌⭐️🙌
I will not watch the show. But I will watch your Breakdowns because I love you, Clark!
Great duet with Ziggy! Thanks so much!
Roman and Jayna should have been voted in. I totally agree with what you said.
After today's heartbreaking result, I dont wanna watch the show anymore...
I'm not watching it
Me too bro
Beautiful duet… Thank you both for sharing that with us.
Awesome duet with Ziggy. Wow! I'd buy this! Thank you for sharing this with us.
