I was really disappointed by Jeff--he sounded good in clips and in his audition and competition, but...that song just sucked.
Is the fact that Adam's people have to sing with a whole choir mean he doesn't trust them to sound good on their own? :) (They're actually doing fine, I think) (OK, I wrote that before Adam bent in half and went 'yeahhhhhh" as if he were constipated) That boy with the faux hawk on Adam's team is awfully adorable, even if he was kinda dreadful in his solo
kat, I thought the earlier "I really liked the ...decor! the candles!" was an interesting non-compliment.
Well done, choir. That was a great performance. Adam's team was there, too. Shame you couldn't really hear them at all.
meara, that was such total Christina hateration. It was delicious. She really can't stand it that Vicci can just flat out blow. She has thrown shade all over all the girls tonight except the crappy sisters. It's like she can't stand any competition for her girls.
Wow, country boy is managing to make this song completely forgettable and sound JUST LIKE every other country song ever in history. And I like country music. Jesus.
I didn't love Emily Valentine but right now I'm really sorry she's gone.
Addicted to Love from the country kid? So Cee-Lo plans to just keep making bad choices for his team members. Well, this is the weird choice that has worked the best so far, but I can’t say it totally works. He sounds good, at least. Very country. I don’t know. I suppose it was fine. Not my cup of tea. And Adam, it wasn’t like a country version of the Robert Plant song. It was a country version of that Robert Plant song. Idiot. Is Christina Aguilera drunk? Or brain damaged in some way?
Javier singing Angel? I think I will like that. It’s so strangely chopped up. Not that I’m not enjoying it, but it is oddly truncated. And I totally get what Adam is saying about not throwing every vocal trick in the book into things just because you can. I would’ve liked to have heard at least a few more notes just sung straight and held prettily. And dammit, I hate agreeing with Adam. But overall, Javier was amazing. And I guess like my daddy often says, if you’ve got a big gun, you might as well shoot it.
Yay! Both my picks were the audience picks. The Voice is truly my anti-Idol.
ETA: Really pleasantly surprised by Blake's pick.
WHAT THE HELL BLAKE?
Heh. Me too, Megan! Though admittedly I didn't vote for Dia--I figured she'd have plenty, and I"m excited Xenia is moving forward, and hope she does better. I think that was her younger sister in the audience who started crying?
