I thought Christina was right, though. I love him, but that performance was really wobbly.
Uh, are we gonna fight, or is there just gonna be a monster sarcasm rally?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, I thought they were both right, but interesting. I guess it's always sort of surprising at the end like this, unless someone really fucks up.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh yeah, I think he gave the weakest performance of her group last night too, but I was assuming his popularity would keep him in.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I thought she was out of her everloving mind, but yeah, I guess we're just kinda down to it in the season already. It's going to be weird how after tonight two teams will have two people only and two teams will have four. And it's kinda unfair to these judges because the other teams' judges will get some time to think about who they're going to kick.
Also, she took way too long doing it, and I felt back that Jordis basically had to get kicked with almost no explanation. But I thought maybe she was getting the "I believe this is my time" edit of doom. Which presumably they didn't know, live, whatnot, but still.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
y'all watching "The Voice." You need to take a look at Christina's stank face after Justin Bieber hugs her.
Seriously.

She totally had her hand out for a shake. Hilarious.
It also cracks me up how, ten years ago, it was obvious that Justin Timberlake wanted to be Prince and it's equally obvious now that the Biebs wants to be JT.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
omg I hate Raylynn. Hate.
Is it me or have there been a ton of singers this season with these crazy contrived sounding voice. I do not buy for one second that half of them naturally sing that way.

Oh yeah, a ton. The saved one from Christina's team put it on tonight, when I don't think she usually does?

I AM STUNNED. I can't believe Blake's finalists are both full-grown adults.

Hahaha, yeah, she was all omg I got bieb germs on me!
I was okay with tonight's elims. I continue to have mad respect for Adam because he consistently gives solid musical critique to singers that will help them in their off show careers. He was right in what he told RaeLyn, because I think she does have a decent straight voice under all that, but nobody's ever made her use it. Blake tried, pulling her off the growl some, but in her own uncoached piece she went right back to it, and Adam was right to call her on it.
Christina, I think, is too tied up in her image and the contest aspects of it all to really be that great a mentor. Her whole demeanor shifted when the format changed, and I dislike it.
On an odd note, I finally realized today a funky performance note. When I'm onstage, I both raise and lower my level, by going on my toes or down, and male vocalists do this too sometimes. But the female vocalists never do, which on this show translates into this weird bent knee stompy thing when they want effect. And I finally realized it's because of their heels...they have no up to give. Apropos of nothing, I know, just an odd thing I finally understood.
