Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Lynnea Moorer of Monterey, Calif., wound up winning that match over Ele Ivory of Nashville, Tenn.

That means Lynnea will join Wyatt Rivers and Ayanna Joni in the next round of the Comeback Stage competition.

During that round, the three singers will square off to perform solos. Comeback Stage coach Kelsea Ballerini will select two of the three to perform on the live playoffs results show two weeks from now.

Those two singers will square off for the first Twitter save of Season 15, with the winner advancing to the Season 15 Top 13.

As for the battle match between Lynnea, 19 when she auditioned, and Ele, 20 when she did, both artists decided to put their own spin on hit songs.

Lynnea sang Troye Sivan’s “My, My, My.” Ele countered with “Back to You” by Selena Gomez.

Though she said she liked the way Ele built her song from its tender piano-accompanied opening, Kelsea awarded the win to Lynnea.

She said she appreciated the way Lynnea moved during the performance, connecting “your body to your voice.” She also praised “the pure spirit that comes across whenever” Lynnea performs.

Sorry, Kelsea, but I think you got this one way, way wrong. Ele seemed more emotionally connected and more committed to her re-creation of “Back to You” than Lynnea did to her cover.

Here’s the video of the performances.
