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.

Because books.
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.

EW lists the top 25 dances on SYTYCD. The fact that the Fug Princess is represented on this list in any way, shape, form or fashion automatically calls into question the author's judgement. Interesting, nonetheless. And the Dead Daddy Dance, Mia's door routine and Tasty's cancer dance all did not make the list. That's something.
