Ronnie is singing from another planet. His voice is extraordinary classic. I think members of the four noticed that as well. I stand with you BROTHER...

James all the way, representing the UK 🇬🇧

This Ronnie of a boy is damn good 😊 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@JC-gt4vn]

I feel like in my own opinion I love James from day one some people may not want James. But look where James at now on TV the four showing his voice. I'm not saying Ronnie can't sing but James has more experience an he is a great Natural voice. He's not even trying it comes naturally that's is what a true performer do.

Fire time seeing this battle but Ronnie was very clean and smooth with his song, he gave me chills honestly. Especially when hit that high note. He sounded just like Mario lol.

Ronnie would’ve won but James has a whole fan base that’s what the people forget when they say Ronnie should’ve won.James knew he should’ve lost and diddy,Khaled realized that too.

Preach

[@tiagomoreira2929]

No he doesn’t, that’s a comment of a person you can’t analyze a voice by the texture of it, control, range… did Ronnie give better falsettos/head voice in this? Maybe, James can easily go higher with better control as you can see on other songs, but the song he chose it’s not about that. Do you think Ronnie could do those lower and stronger notes James did? Never… Even in the lower part of Let me Love You, Ronnie wasn’t solid enogh!

[@SKReacts001]

@@tiagomoreira2929 Perhaps you're right. No doubt James was a better vocalist, but a performance is more than just technicality. It's stage presence, expression, and an agglomeration of other components. Ronnie definitely sounded more believable, utilized the stage and didn't stay in a box, engaged with the crowd, and put more passion into it. Overall, I feel like he gave a better performance.

[@multifandoms1633]

James won because everyone there are his fans. Ronnie actually deserved to be the winner but James already gained everyone's likes in the house. Truth be said, Ronnie smith Jr is the beast!

[@shonnarobin7227]

I truly believe this show wasn't going for music & vocal talent, but more so for looks & appearance. They wanted someone who would gain fans by selling looks rather than musical talent. That's probably why it didn't last pass two seasons. Ronnie's voice is super beautiful. BTW, I wonder what the show's contestants are doing now?

[@jersonalviar9995]

James voice do a lots compare to Ronnie,,he is so versatile,,,no one can deny why he won in this battle....On Bended knee is a hard song singing by 1person,,,incredible talent...

[@torihampton6807]

He was off a key. Little flat, he struggled.

[@ryanluttman1519]

@@torihampton6807 And James was any better? He was struggling badly with the lower register on the opening of the song and fell off note on his climax at the end. Ronnie wasn’t flat, he was on key throughout, when someone is flat it means to be below the note on pitch. Ronnie’s voice in particular holds a lot of vibrato and sounded shakey at times... but he held his own and was much better than James.

[@jckholmes9194]

Ronnie won this. Just good, great control, great vibrato, great choices that differentiate it from the one by Mario. James on the other hand, it's like we as a society just lower the bar for white men. James was so pitchy, couldn't find the right key, couldn't do anything great with a song covered by so many people so often. Tbh I don't think I've ever heard a version this pitchy by a professional singer or rando doing karaoke even.

James needs to do a little better

[@abdellahelouastani4858]

A bit unfair, I would say. James has been in this competition since the start, and he is starting to look and sound repetitive and mechanical. No passion demonstration there. Ronnie was a breath of fresh air, conversely. His voice is as good as James's, but he went one better and outdid his first performance. Meghan should judge more with her head, than her heart. She has a tendency of getting attached to contestants who survive a while in this show, and she does not judge each performance accordingly. Diddy said that he represents the Truth and one would be hard-pressed to disagree with him after giving it to James like he saw it, and probably everyone saw it, if it were not for Meghan's unfair comments towards Ronnie, which I think went a long way into swaying the votes in James's favor. Close call in general, but the winner had to be Ronnie, but it was not to be. Anyway, James has to step it up a notch or two, if he is to win the whole show. At this moment in time, Sharaya J is living up to the hype, and delivering week in, week out. She is the favorite in my eyes.
