Whereas Tate pretty much owned his fan group. Carly benefited from some of the older women who also liked her. Had there only been one teen contestant, I have no doubt that the teens who are much more committed to vote feverishly would have put that contestant over the top. But if you offer them several choices, the teen vote gets split. Thus, it appears that the older crowd is swaying the vote because it is more centralized in a single candidate.

Overhyped, overcommercialized, overdone. Emblem3 was doomed the day they announced Simon as their mentor. They should escape him while they can so he doesn’t turn them into robots. Why is he so set on finding another One Direction? Why does he keep obsessing over it? What a greedy man. Doesn’t give a rat’s ass about musical integrity.
