Can someone explain to me Blake's choice?

My guess is a couple of factors. One, she looked like a goddamn lunatic and two she had no audience appeal -- too old and see number one. She was a better singer but Diya (?) was fine and moldable.

I thought she had a good voice, but was completely over the top, even after he had warned her to tone it down. Much as it's a competition, it's not good form to completely upstage the other person. Especially when you seem a bit loony doing it.

NOW SOMEBODY EXPLAIN THAT INSANE ADAM DECISION PLEASE

OMG

eta: and cee-lo? those were like my favorite auditions! wtf!!!

Honestly, I think Rebecca is a more creative singer, but I didn't think she did as well as I thought she would on that song.

I thought the bigger train wreck was the final number; I have no idea why the Doublemint twins were chosen.

Except for Creep, those were some whack song choices for this type of competition.

I agree megan. I just don't get it. I thought "Creep" was a great choice of a song. Cee-Lo got some bad taste all of the sudden.

Thanks for the comments about Blake's choice. I also don't understand why he paired those two together and why he chose that particular song. I wish he had a blog so I could read about his thought process because I find his whole shit inscrutable.

For Blake's choice, she threw me off because she didn't stick to the melody at all.

or the phrasing.

I have not understood any of Blake's pairings or song choices throughout the battle rounds. They've been totally WTF to me. I did understand his choice last night, though. That PK girl was just unlikeable. No one would vote for her which is killer on a reality show based on audience votes. I also thought she oversang the song, just like Blake and Reba told her not to.

I also understood Cee-Lo's choice of song for those particular contestants. Before The Hills drilled that song into the ground, I liked Unwritten. A perfectly acceptable pop trifle. And with internet singing sensation and the Wonder Twins, what else was he really going to give them? I didn't understand his choice at all, but I suppose the next round needs some fodder. I'm going to pretend that the whole thing is strategery on his part. Now Christina, on the other hand, made a terrible song selection for her contestants. It was downright Blake-ian. First of all, Rhianna songs are not songs because Rhianna can't sing (and I like Rhi Rhi!) Second of all, the song was way too low for either of those two very young girls. Third of all, neither one of them sang it well. I guess I get why X-Tina chose the kid from Jersey Girl. She's pretty and has shiny hair. Too bad she can't find the pitch with a GPS. The other girl was not much better, though, and she was older and not as cute, so there you go.

Adam had the best song choice and the best contestants of the night. Again. I do think he has the strongest team in the competition. I would've gone with the girl, but the guy did a good job with the song as well.

I cannot speak on AI. It hurt my soul last night. So, so disappointed. I'm just turning my thoughts ahead to SYTYCD.

SYTYCD tomorrow!!!
