Despite feeling support for her in the Judge Cuts round, I'm not upset about her elimination. I wasn't really into her live performance. On the other hand, it is clear Courtney is popular but the likes/dislikes ratio on her video is worse than any of the past winners' performance videos starting from season 8. That is a sign that *maybe* she won't end up winning.

Are you just talking about the live show YouTube videos? I find looking at the likes/dislikes ratio to be very interesting, but if you're just looking at the live shows then that makes sense about Flau'jae, considering her live show was far, far weaker than her audition or judge cuts. I don't think it's an anti-rap thing at all. Besides, Simon looked stunned when she get eliminated and I expect her to be the wildcard, and if she is so lucky and performs up to par with her audition, a finals berth isn't out of the question. As for Courtney, there is some hate, but I think there are so many people voting 10 across the board that she'll at least finish top 3
