Idol Chatter & Voice Views

There were some definite winners on Monday’s Top 13 night on The Voice.

In fact, I’d point to four in particular.

1. Kirk Jay (Team Blake Shelton): The show has been doing its best to paint Kirk as a front-runner, with the coaches jumping to their feet after every performance and with prime performance placement the past two weeks. It seems to have worked. Kirk was the only singer to crack the Top 10 on iTunes this week.

2. Chevel Shepherd (Team Kelly Clarkson): Her fun performance of “Little White Church” was one of Monday’s absolute highlights. Given the combination of her talent and her charisma — and the fact that she’s the only country female in the competition — and I won’t be surprised it we see her in the semifinals at least.

3. Lynnea Moorer (Team Kelly Clarkson): After very mediocre performances from both Comeback Stage contestants last week, the whole premise was looking more like a gimmick on The Voice’s part than anything else. Regardless of what happens tonight, Lynnea demonstrated the vocal ability to stand among the Top 13 on Monday.

4. Tyke James (Team Adam Levine): Last week, he needed a save to survive last week. Last night, he wound up performing second on a two-hour show, which is about the last place you want to perform. He enters results night with a Top 3 showing on iTunes thanks to his unique take on a tired old Bryan Adams tune.

So who’s in danger tonight?

As I said earlier today, I think a combination of MaKenzie Thomas, Sandy Redd, Dave Fenley and Kymberli Joye will wind up singing the save at the end of the night.

Which will be a shame, because that list includes some of the best voices on a show that’s called The Voice.

Wow, Reagan Strange was the most streamed artist, which means she gets the Apple Music bonus.

Advancing to the Top 11 …

1. Reagan Strange (Team Adam): Wow, big week for Reagan. Bonus points, in the Top 3 on iTunes.
2. Kirk Jay (Team Blake): No surprise there. He had the most successful song on iTunes.
3. Kennedy Holmes (Team JHUD): Here’s betting she’s the only Team Jennifer member who entered tonight feeling confident of her fate.
4. Chevel Shepherd (Team Kelly): Really fun performance from Chevel last night, so I’m thrilled to see her advance.
5. Chris Kroeze (Team Blake): Another solid performance by Chris last night, so that’s appropriate.
6. DeAndre Nico (Team Adam): Another solid performance last night, so that’s merited. He also showed off the best vocals on that performance of “Rhiannon.”
7. Kymberli Joye (Team Kelly): Great choice fans. I really feared she’d be in danger tonigh in spite of a great vocal.
8. MaKenzie Thomas (Team Jennifer): A little surprised. MaKenzie delivered a straight-up cover last night.
9. Dave Fenley (Team Blake): There’s that Team Blake effect. Glad to see Dave advance. He’s one of the most distinct vocalists on the show.
10. Sarah Grace (Team Kelly): Hallelujah. Sandy has impressed me most of the four young female singers on the show.

That means Sandy Redd, Tyke James and Lynnea Moorer will have to sing for the save.
