Ugh! How does Kenley keep getting in the top? That dress was a) exactly like everything else she's made and b) HIDEOUS! And her voice is just so grating.
Oh and Jerrel's outfit was truly awful. What the hell?
They really were all pretty bad this time.
Ooh, I will look forward to the trainwreck. (Haven't watched the episode yet.)
I liked Jerrel's outfit before he draped the green over it. And I really disliked Kenley's. I understand the criticism of Mila's. Isaac Mizrahi (I feel like I have to use his full name for some reason) was not wrong with that communism comment, but I guess I find that appealing. Out of the context of the challenge, I quite like it.
I'm watching now, and if I were on the judges panel I would have made them all go back and redo this challenge. I really can't remember a challenge where everyone has failed this badly.
Mondo's dress was probably the least offensive, but eh, black sheath, yawn.
So, the Voice! No one ended up getting second chances this time, huh? So next up is winnowing within the teams themselves? There are definitely some loser fodder entrants in those teams, but I am anxious to see what happens next.
Me too.
I thought for sure they would have second chance people. I guess the talent pool was kind of deep.
I thought it was interesting that Christina was so picky.
And 12 people on each team!
I couldn't believe they all turned around for that one "jazz singer" last night -- I'm sure she has potential, but she was so shaky in the room to me.
Oh yeah, super shaky. Pitchy worse than some of the people they called down for pitchy. But whatevs.
I thought last night was the most inconsistent in terms of who and how many turned around.
I also don't have any feel for whether someone has a distinctly better or worse team. Of course, if the top singer from each team advances like last year I suppose it doesn't matter.
With 6 battles each, I assume we'll get one team per week for the battle rounds, no? I can only hope Blake will choose better songs this time around.
I've only seen about half an hour of The Voice, spread across two or three episodes, but a lot of people have sounded off-pitch to me, even the ones who are experienced or who got a lot of praise. I wonder if they have a hard time hearing themselves on stage.
