Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Well, the original four on The Four are doing better in Season 2 than in Season 1.

By episode two in Season 1, all of the original four singers had been booted out of their seats.

Episode two of Season 2 aired Thursday night. And, when it ended, James Graham and Sharaya J still occupied the seats they started out in last week.

James wasn’t challenged during Thursday’s show. Sharaya was, and fended off that challenge by James Farrow.

That was one of three challenges of the evening. The other two went to the challenger.

Stephanie Zelaya, an original member of the four, successfully defended her seat last week, but wasn’t as fortunate Thursday, losing to Whitney Reign.

And Majeste Pearson, who claimed a seat on the four last week, failed to defend against a challenge by Jesse Kramer.

That means that heading into Week 3, The Four will include originals James Graham and Sharaya J. and newcomers Whitney Reign and Jesse Kramer.

Thursday’s episode also featured unsuccessful auditions from De’Stani Bryant, Stella Amore and Skylar Dayne. Here’s a photo recap.
