The Voice: Tessanne Chin made me choked up tonight. What a freaking voice. She's amazing.

The Sing-Off: I'm loving Home Free. The guy with the bass is insane.

I love the bass guy as well. But I really hate the lead singer, not because I don't like his voice, just because I knew too many of his type in my acting/singing past. So, I am neutral, my love/hate for one cancels out my love/hate for the other.

LOVED Vocal Rush's Holding Out for a Hero.

I knew too many of his type in my acting/singing past.

Do tell!

Is there any way Tessanne doesn't win this?

eta: though I have to say, after seeing the last song, I thought Jacque did a really amazing job, and if anyone can give Tessanne a run for her money, it's Jacque.

I'm with Vortex on loving the bass, but hating the lead singer. He seems smarmy to me.

I hope I posted it here, but I've thought for a while that Tessanne should win, but Jacquie will win.

I'm totally Team Tessanne, but I wouldn't be surprised if Jacqui won. The Voice seems to have a slightly older voting demographic than Idol, though, and some older folks (well, Reality TV older) have won it in the past, so who knows? I am sure pulling for a Tessanne win, though. I don't think she's sung a bum note during the entire competition and her take on I Have Nothing almost made me not mad that Adam picked that tired AI retread as her final song.

I wouldn't be mad if Jacqui won. I love X-Tina and this has been her best outing as a coach ever. And Jacqui does have an amazing voice. She just needs more seasoning, as do all 16 year olds which is why I'm generally against them being on these types of shows. She totally went pageant-bot on that J-Holliday/J-Hud classic (and also went off key a couple of times once she started trying to belt). It was not pleasant to watch.

In other singing competition news, I loved, loved The Sing Off. Jewel is an excellent addition to the judges panel. She knows her stuff. I was impressed! My faves so far are the country group (the bass in that group is insane!) and Vocal Rush, the young kids. I thought they were super cute on Holding Out for a Hero and wouldn't have put them in the bottom 2, but since they were there, I got to see them destroy the girl group, which was really not all that, on Survivor and it was glorious right from the start when the little latina mocked the "Yes, Nick Lachey". Ha! I love spunk!

I'm sad that this show is so short. Is it really only two weeks long? That ain't right. We have to watch AI and The Voice for eternities. After this week's second show, we will be down to only 4 groups already, no? Too fast. I want more group singing. More Ben Folds. More Shawn Stockman in ridiculous purple paisley button downs.

And Jacqui does have an amazing voice. She just needs more seasoning, as do all 16 year olds which is why I'm generally against them being on these types of shows.

Yeah, that.

I need more chores to do to watch The Sing Off to.

WOO

Yesssss. My favorites won on both AI and The Voice. I am on a roll.

One day, someone will have to explain to me why people think Adam is sexy. I mean, I like him as a coach and I even enjoy the occasional Maroon 5 ditty, but sexy? Yeah, not so much.

I will be glad to get Usher and Shakira back next season. Christina was much better this year but she's still too all about me to be a really good coach and Cee-Lo's heart just seems to be not in it anymore.
