Idol Chatter & Voice Views

The Top 11 perform Monday night on The Voice and only one singer will go home this week.

That means it might be the perfect time for front-runners to take risks in order to improve their standing with voters.

After two weeks of live shows, Girl Named Tom has been most impressive.

Should they win Season 21, they’d become the first non-soloists to ever accomplish the feat.

Here’s how I’m ranking the Top 11.

1. Girl Named Tom (Team Kelly): The sibling trio of Bekah, Caleb and Joshua Liechty turned in the best performance last week. And they were the only contestants from The Voice to crack the Apple Music Top 200. They’re the clear favorites at this point.

2. Paris WInningham (Team Blake): He slipped just a bit with his cover of “What’s Going On.” But I still think he has the combination of vocals and personality that could get him to the finals.

3. Jershika Maple (Team Legend): This young woman is fearless and fierce on stage. I look forward to every one of her performances.

4. Wendy Moten (Team Blake): She’s the contestant Blake wants to win Season 21 — more, he says, than he’s ever wanted a contestant to win the show. I still think she’ll need to deliver a couple of surprises for that to happen.

5. Lana Scott (Team Blake): Blake should steer her toward classic country favorites because that’s when she sounds her best.

6. Hailey Mia (Team Kelly): Voice fans love to support up and coming young singers. The longer Hailey hangs around, the higher I think she’ll finish. At least until the semis roll around.

7. Joshua Vacanti (Team Legend): He’s fearless on stage and impresses with his vocals as well as the passion with which he tackles his performances.

8. Holly Forbes (Team Ariana): She got the pimp spot last week, did okay, but had a chance to make a bigger impression and didn’t.

9. Jeremy Rosado (Team Kelly): He’s delivered a fine, heartfelt vocal every round, but hasn’t shown much range beyond delivering heartfelt power ballads.

10. Gymani (Team Kelly): She’s needed saves to advance the past two weeks. So it will be a surprise if she isn’t singing for another Tuesday night.

11. Jim and Sasha Allen (Team Ariana): Based on their two live performances, they should have been eliminated last week.
