Anyone watching this season?

I have to say...I'm getting on the Emblem3 bandwagon while it's still relatively light. I listened to some of their original stuff, and the lyrics + beats are super interesting and catchy. It's not traditional pop, definitely a nice infusion of rock and funk into it. I think they're going to explode win or lose.

Also supporting Lyric 145. So high energy. I say the two guys when they tried out in Providence, they were pretty awesome.

Anyone else have other thoughts on this season?

I've been following it but I hated all the live show performances. I hate how bad the song choice are and how much focus is put onto everything but singing. Winner has to be out of Emlbem 3 and Carly Rose Sonenclar. Vocally Sonenclar is in another league to everyone else and it's not that close.

Carly Rose is awesome. Cannot believe she is only 13, her voice is amazing.

David Corey was a Bruno Mars clone... That said he was better than a lot of what's left... Same with Diamond White although she was more original and better than that one blonde in the teens.

Everyone seems to love Emblem3 and I can't stand them. Seem like a poor man's version of Eye Alaska but much more cocky and annoying. Have talked trash all season and aren't even that good.

Crap overrated performance from Emblem 3. Although I think it's because I REALLY don't like the "Rapper" in the group.

I'm watching.

Sister C was my favorite so now I'm kind of a free agent.

Khloe needs to go

No thoughts on this week
1. Simon zapped what made Emblem 3 good. They didn't skew young like One Direction. They were older; cooler. And importantly UNIQUE. They sounded cookie cutter generic today. Still way too arrogant as well.
2. Fifth Harmony I actually like the name. And they finally sang some harmonies so that was a plus
3. Lyric 145 was amazing. That was so different, unexpected, and brilliant.
4. Diamond sounded bad. Way too big for her
5. Beatrice v. Carly will be fun to watch
6. Get rid of I Believe I Can Fly. It is a horrible song. So corny. And he didn't do it any favors.
7. Young Adults Category is bad

Emblem 3 is legit.

But Lyric 145 is just...awesome.

Flipped to it once tonight during commercial of basketball game I was watching. The blond girl singing "Eye of the Tiger" (I think that's what she was singing...brain fart) was horrible. The whole arrangement and everything was so hokie.

Not seen today's ep but not sure how people put Beatrice in Carly's league, miles apart.

Just watched some of the performances, thoughts

Diamond White - Good vocalist, agree the song was too big for her here, needs work to be great though.

Emblem 3 - Didn't like it at all tonight, really was pretty generic, didn't feel original or like Emblem 3 at all.

Lyric 145 - These guys are so fun, so original. Not sure they'll win but entertaining as hell.

Beatrice - Impressed me, has quite a unique style and charisma for her age.

Fifth Harmony - Was awesome this week, the group is really coming together and becoming one of my more preferred acts.

Carly - >>>> Everyone. Didn't like some of the song arrangement but the emotion and vocal control this girl puts into her songs is insane.

Dont rate anyone else as relevant.

Final thoughts - Demi is annoying as hell, can't stand her.

Not sure why people like Lyric 145. But I guess I don't understand how people like the Black Eyed Peas, either... Basically what they are to me, the BEP's without autotune.
