I'm not enjoying this season anymore. I think I am going to give it up. We'll see. I know I couldn't make it through 15 minute of The Voice home videos either. I feel like I'm watching YouTube or Instagram. I feel sad about this, but I think I am out until next season.

I am still enjoying the kids. I think it is sad they had to do it this way, but I don't think they had much choice. I don't think they could have just said to the ones that made it to the top 20 "tough luck, we aren't going to do this season" or make them wait until next season. So, I will hang in there with them.

I agree with you, Lazylu. I'm not really emotionally invested in any of them, but I'm still enjoying the show.

I agree it's pretty disappointing but I'll watch.
Nothing to do with it being at home but they need new judges that actually judge. The judges' comments are useless.
They're really mailing this season in (almost literally). It will take a miracle for someone to get a career out of this.

I'm still enjoying it. I think I like seeing them in their "natural habitats" LOL

I watched since I didn't realize there is so little left. Next week is the grand finale already. We went from top 20 to winner in 3 weeks. Those poor kids really got ripped off.
eta: I voted for Dillon for the win.

I watched a tape delayed AI this afternoon and missed out on voting this time.
We're down to 7:
Arthur, Dillon, Francisco, Jonny, Louis, Just Sam and Julia.
Good group here. I have three favorites and let's see who wins next week.

I'm actually really enjoying this season. More singing, no "dim the lights" drama, and I like the song choices. I do not like Katy's costumes. We all know she's pregnant, she ought to be flaunting instead of hiding it in those ridiculous getups.

I have 3 fav's: Dillan, Jonny & Louis. Just Sam is my next fav but IMO she is just not as ready for the fame & she doesn't do anything but sing & the others all play instruments so I give them points for that.

I was very happy with the top five, top two and with our winner Just Sam. I hope all of the top five have careers in music.

Sorry, I left Johnny and Francisco. On another site they thought Francisco would be the winner. My favorite was Julia.  See you next year.

I liked Sam....but I honestly didn't think she'd win...there were some very talented artists this season. I hope to see them ALL go far.

I am delighted. Although I felt multi-talented JW should/would win, I was rooting for Just Sam.

It was a weird season due to all of the quarantining.
Starting with the negatives, I don't think these judges add anything to the show. Their so called "critiques" are useless for the most part. I was also particularly disappointed with Katy and her various costumes. A little bit of that is fun but constantly wearing funny outfits made a mockery of the show and the contestants. It's hard to take the artists and the competition seriously when a "judge" is making comments while being dressed as a bottle of hand sanitizer. 
None of the contestants particularly amazed me but I am happy with Just Sam being the winner. I like that she is a bit different and I hope she can make it work. Pretty crazy how isolated she has been all this time. Her grandmother was cute on FaceTime.
Finally. I did enjoy the "We are the World" finale. It's a nice song and it was fun seeing all the different performers including some that we haven't seen in a while.

As soon as the winner was announced, my hubby said (with some amazement), "For once it's not a white guy with a guitar!" That seems to have been the pattern for the past few years. I'm happy for her. I wish her every success. And the rest of them, too. So many talented performers this year!
