Okay, Deborah is my "one to watch." Homegirl reminds me of Me'Shell so already I'm completely, 100% in her corner. I don't know how she is going to do in the battles, but I luv her.

I totally got a Me'Shell vibe off of Devorah. If she sang Fool of Me, I might actually have to vote for someone on a reality show.

Greysha(?) is not my thing but I thihnk she was good. The yodeling sounded great. I might've had to root for her if she'd chosen Adam. I don't think I can root for any girl who chooses Cee-Lo. Why is he so caught up on pretty? It's gross now. I think maybe I only like him when he's got the cat.

I'm glad that the kid whose dad died of cancer didn't make the show because, sad story aside, he really couldn't sing all that well. The judges were very sweet with him, though.

I don't know about the girl in the mullet skirt. I love that Christina song and I thought she did not put it down they was she should have. Eh. Christina seems to be a terrible coach, though, so maybe they deserve each other.

I was hoping the Brooklyn kid would sing some Rock en espanol. But no. He just sang Bruno Mars. Nice voice, though. Maybe he'll sing some Juanes if he makes it onto the show.

This Danny kid is another one who seems to have a nice story and a pleasant personality but he kinda can't sing. Huh.

And then the judges, who turned around for a half baked Christina knock off and a kid who sang Somebody That I Used to Know about as well as I do in my shower, didn't turn around for the Jamaican girl blowing it out on No Woman, No Cry. OK. I mean, yes the arrangement was cheesy and it sounded 100% better a cappella, but still. That girl could blow. Again, I say, "Huh." Alrighty then.

I have no opinion on Texas vest dude except to say that Gives You Hell song is insanely catchy and I will be singing it all night now.

Why is Christina Milian? That's all. I mean Dip It Low is a great song but that can only take you so far in life.

The blonde girl from Greensville was blonde. And I hope Christina is not going to have to hug everyone they send home this season because that's already old.

The last young kid sounded just like Beyonce in Dreamgirls which is why he probably won't win this show. He kinda surprised me by picking Cee-Lo, though. I thought sure he was a Christina-stan.

Devorah is the only one I really liked from tonight. Oh, and the Jamaican girl who sang Marley, but she didn't make the show, so . . .

I'd have much rather had a third season of The Sing Off than back to back seasons of The Voice.

Amen. LOVED The Sing Off.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I know you're right, le nubian. It's just . . . you didn't take that girl but the Texas vest dude was a keeper? I don't even remember what he sang. Honestly.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I know, right? but they always have some strong and some weak so they can set up the strong ones for the battle.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Man, I really really hope Chehon and Eliana win this thing, although Tiffany really is great. Cyrus, pfft.

I love Cyrus. I think that he has progressed in LEGIONS this season. He has become a tremendous partner, and his skill in picking up choreography is amazing. He is what they pretended Joshua was, a true "street" dancer who has so much talent that he overcomes.

However, I have to agree with Nigel, other dancers are stronger. I do also have to say that I'm not sure that Cheon was the strongest male dancer. Best abs, yes. Strongest dancer? Maybe not.

Cyrus may have made lots of progress, but I think he's an awkward partner at best and the choreographers have totally had to work around him all season. And, mysteriously, he had the most limited range of styles. Not that Chehon is the strongest of the bunch, mind.

Everyone really brought their A games tonight! I even liked the Tyce number. That hardly ever happens.
