"Behind Blue Eyes" was sort of a mess

Because books.
Oh, thank you, megan! Oops. Not awake yet.

Well, it might explain why you thought it was a mess! I swear to G*d Christina called it Bubba O'Riley.

No, I still thought it was a mess. It needs the violent punch of words, not stretching out the phrasing. Like I said, though, I think it's just Daltrey's song.
S. thought she said "Bubba," too!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
That's another song choice that mystified me. I don't ever think of that Who song as one where vocals are the center. I listen to that song for the keyboards and guitar.
"Behind Blue Eyes" probably would have been a better choice, yes?

But yeah, he should have put Elenowen up against Patrick and Jared against Tyler and gotten rid of both of them; his team would be far stronger.
But rememeber he really liked them from the audition, so he may actually ahve been trying to knock out some deadweight; they just ended up performing at a different level than expected on both sides.

Vortex, thanks for the offer, but I really stopped caring much a while ago.

Yeah, I do think Blake was trying to give Elenowen a pass to the next round given that he picked the rocker dude up out of the lucky loser's round basically because he had to round out his roster. I think what happened there is that he picked a terrible song for their style/voices and then they didn't sing it well. The key was all wrong for them, especially the girl. She sounded like ass. But I think he was trying to rig it for them to get through.
I thought Christina picked a terrible song for her singers, but I do think in general she has strong singers on her team. I thought both Bev and Bank teller did quite well, better than I expected. It would've been a hard one for me, though I can understand why Christina put Bev through. For my money, Cee-Lo has the best over all team so far. Both weeks, the sing offs have been very close. I was sad to see Tje go home because I think he can really sing and he has an interesting package, as Christina noted. He did well with Closer (which was another strange song choice) but Nikia did better. The only real walkover last night was Javier. I thought he crushed that little girl. Adam's group also has some really strong singers.
I'm still really liking the show. Between this and The Sing Off, NBC has built itself a nice stable of second tier singing shows.
