We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Because books.

The Voice: Holy crap, Sasha was outrageous doing "Oh, Darling."

The youngest girl, the one on Blake's team, is also really good.

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

Long post (The Voice):

So, "The Voice"... The thing right now is that each team has one person who I would EASILY eliminate. I also think each team has at least one person who is just awesome.

On Adam's team, Amber is the bomb. Her voice is amazing. She has great control and I would be surprised if she doesn't make to the final 8. I also really like Judith. I like Sarah's voice, but she needs to improve her stage presence. She doesn't command it like she could. I think Caroline should go though. I am done with her unique voice and think she is an easy eliminate.

On Usher's team, I fucking hate Josiah. I want him gone NOW. He is pretty, but he doesn't really have the pipes. He is a pretty boy, so I guess he might stay in for a bit, but I really want him to leave. Cathia is likely the one to be eliminated though. My favorites on Usher are Michelle Shamuel (which sounds like a made up last name if I ever heard one) and Vedo.

Blake: I do not care for the Swon Broathers. I would be happy to see them go. I am okay with the other three, but I think Holly and Danielle are really really good.

Shakira: I want Garrett gone so badly I can taste it. I just think he is barely talented and that song choice made my teeth itch. "Imagine", really? Ugh. I am all about Sasha though. Karina is my #2 on the team. If Garrett or Kris goes, I will be okay.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I wouldn't have saved the Swon Brothers or Garrett, because seriously.

I do like that they did the eliminations all quick -- no, "Here's one person saved, one more after Rod Stewart," no, "We'll have Blake's decision when we get back."

Also, I am here to report that watching 5 hours of The Voice is a row is a little much.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

So I wouldn't have saved the Swon Brothers or Garrett

Or Josiah, even though I was pretty sure that was going to happen

Yeah, pretty much the only decision I agreed with was Caroline. And let me just say, thank god.

The worst save in my mind was Josiah. I'm at least happy he was in the bottom two because I think that bodes well for his imminent elimination given how weak Usher's team is overall

Note: All coaches got rid of their steal (except Blake who didn't take either to this round). Sasha is the only steal left in the competition now.

megan,

I noticed that as well. I figure Steals aren't long for this show. I am so glad about Caroline and that is the only one with which I agreed. I think Garrett was the worst save, but oh well. Nice to know 3 of the judges have easy eliminations next week.

Yeah, I really dislike Josiah (not that Garrett belongs there either--on my blog write-up, I called producer shenangians starting with the battle rounds on that one).

Nice to know 3 of the judges have easy eliminations next week.

I don't think they have a say anymore do they? Doesn't it go to a strict audience vote now? That's why I suspect Josiah will be at the bottom.

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

oh shit. I don't know! I thought they continue to choose between the two bottom until the final 4.
