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.

Non-Fiction TV: I Reject Your Reality and Substitute My Own

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?
Heh. I can see wanting her to move forward, but I think performance wise, I wouldn't have chosen her.
I realize that I didn’t even remember who was on Blake’s team. That’s got to be bad. And America makes the only choice it can and saves Dia. I kind of cannot believe Blake saved Xenia. I mean, I actually agree with the pick because she does have an awesome voice, but she’s so awkward and uncomfortable on stage. I just can’t see her ever garnering enough audience votes to ever advance on her own. We'll see.
From tonight, it should be Vicci and Nikia from Cee-Lo’s team. From Adam’s team, I’d go with Javier, obviously, and Casey, but I don’t think that’s the way it will go down.
I loved Nikia. He's adorable and the growly voice works for me. I thought that was a good song for him, too, but I like Kings of Leon.
Jolene was great, but I can't remember who sang it -- I was only listening, not watching.

Agreed.
Xenia's performance definitely wasn't great, but I found Blake's reasoning interesting.
