I think Blake has a soft spot for women singers cause there's no other reason why he would have chosen who he chose.

Agreed, I'm a bit shocked at Blake's choice. Xtina's was a no brainer. I do think Adam has a tough call ahead of him.

song choices sucked tonight. wasnt impressed by anything. Found the "addicted to Love" country version bordering on Horrific. I really thot this guy could get the votes BUT wow, that was the wrong song.

Who is left on Blake's team? One he saved and the other he had no choice with.

Dia was the people's vote and Blake saved Senia (sp?). I was really surprised with this save. Thought for sure he would pick Jared.

Not impressed at all with the remaining Team Blake. I agree the country version of Addicted to Love was horrible. I couldn't understand why Blake didn't chose this guy in the beginning anyway. Thought Christina looked great last night. I don't really like the red lips and ivory skin on her. This is the look of the "old" Christina. Didn't think Frenchie should have been chosen, she has done so much more than the others in her career. Loved Xavier. I predict he will be the Voice!

Actually Frenchie is my favorite, or she would be if I was still watching this show.

Of last nights performances, I liked Vicci the best. Oh and I liked Cee-lo with an afro... he rocked it!

I was so proud of Blake for not going for the obvious Patrick pick. Senia has a very unique voice. Blake was saying he felt that he could help her transform the most and I agree with him. Patrick has the nice deep country voice but you can hear that any day of the week at a good Karoke show. Blake really impresses me and I am rooting for his team.

Now that Blake decided to keep my two favorites, Xenia and Dia, I guess I will now be rooting for him. I didn't think there was a chance in hell that both of those girls would end up staying, so I was really shocked last night. The reason I didn't think both of them would stay is because I really figured Blake would want at least one guy to stay. I'm glad I was wrong

Love Blake's choice to keep Xenia and the fans keeping Dia I'm rooting for Nakia and Vicci on C-Lo's team and the others on Adam's are tough to choose from I'm hoping Devon makes it.

I really like Devon, but think there is no chance he can beat both Casey and Javier. (Adam's team). I'm pretty sure Curtis won't make it, that song choice was awful. i really can't guess which of the other three will go home. (CeeLo's team).

I was shocked, in a good way, that Blake kept Xenia. I find she has such a unique voice and I hope she goes far in this game. At this point, I think that Javier, Beverly,and Vicci will be 3 of the finalist at the end. I'm not sure who will be the last person standing on Blake's team. As of now I think Javier might just walk away the winner.

This sounds weird, but I think Xenia might do well on a Karen Carpenter song. On Ceelo's team, I think Nakia and Vicci will make it through. Adam is more of a crap shoot for me after Javier. Based on the performances, I'm not sure which ones would make it.

My thoughts from the performances last night: Cee Lo. I really don't like the two pig farmers, not at all impressed with Curtis. I like Nakia and Vicci, and I hope those two make it thru. Adam. So not a fan of Casey or Devon. Both should go right now. Don't get the Javier love but I figure he'll be saved by the public. So then I hope Adam saves Jeff, but I doubt if he will. Christina's team. Yay for Frenchie and Beverley. Exactly who I wanted on her team. Blake's team. What the heck? Dia? Xenia? REALLY? I mean I get the get rid of Patrick thing. The guy is a dime a dozen. But Dia bores me to tears. I understand why Blake picked the two he can mold but still... If I had to pick one from each team to go into the finale, I'd pick Beverley, Vicci, Jeff, and Xenia. With Jeff and Xenia out at 3rd and 4th.

Mods, can we either: 1. Have a new thread for the 2nd Live Show - Qtr Final Round 2 or, 2. Rename this thread so it's a combo of the two shows? Thanks!

All I have to say is that Frenchie's voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me and I hope she goes in the next round. So glad Beverlee got the audience vote. She is so different than what we get on AI. LOVED Dia and her version of Kayne's song. She made the song her own more than anyone except for that horrible version of Addicted to Love. She does however need to come out of her shell more. Xenia was an interesting choice. Blake definitely did not play it safe.

Me too, Landi! They were my favs even from their first audition. (About Dia and Xenia) Blake was just on Leno and I transcribed what he said about picking Xenia: "I kinda had the idea that Dia was gonna make it, just because her performance had this huge impact. And once that happened, ya know, I'm lookin' at Patrick and Jared and Xenia standing up there, and I don't know about y'all, but Xenia is ...I love her...it's...I do!...I mean I'm protective of her and, but, all 3 of them are talented...But here's where this Oklahoma guy...It's like alright there's two grown men--- and then there's Xenia. Damned if I'm gonna be the guy to send that little girl home. So, ya know what I mean? I'm a fan of hers and I'm not gonna tell her no."

Same here Landi... Nora Jones, KT Tunstall's more mellow stuff....I love the raspy voiced female singer. I think Xenia will slide into that genre easily....she just needs to age a bit and get comfy in her public skin.

Blake is letting his heart tell him what to do. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing because performing and singing is all about an emotional connection. The guys are solid performers but I don't see them as special or becoming something special, whereas I think the other two have the potential to grow into unique performers.

I was pleasantly surprised by Casey. I wasn't a fan but I think she did really well. I also love Xenia

I think Jeff's going to be the viewer vote for Adam's team, and he'll choose Javier from the rest. I think Vicci's going to be the viewer vote for CeeLo's team unless Curtis gets a lot of votes for being country. I think CeeLo would choose Nakia to go with Vicci (or Vicci to go with Curtis). The duo have no chance!

I don't think CeeLo wanted the duo to make it or he would have picked a song more current. I liked it but I think alot of viewers want more modern stuff.

I still don't understand why CeeLo kept the pig farmer sisters over that pretty brunette with the unique sounding voice. I will be totally shocked if the sisters make it to the next round. Curtis is too much like a bunch of already there country stars so why would they need another one. I predict that Vicci is CeeLo's fav followed by Nakia and I would also think that America will vote on one of these 2 so CeeLo will just pick the other one. Adam is a little harder to predict: The only for sure on his team is Javier. If America doesn't vote him on, Adam will keep him. I'm not so sure Adam would keep Jeff if AM votes to keep Javier. I really like Devon too & think he is unique. Don't think the girl has a chance to go any further though. I don't see AM keeping her & the other 4 girls already going on for the other teams stand out more than his girl.

I'm not so sure Adam would keep Javier if America doesn't vote for him. Remember, he wants HIS team to win. If America didn't vote for Javier (after all the hullabaloo the other night), then he may want to rethink his team. (Who is "AM"? Do you mean Adam Levine?)

sorry.........I started useing AM for America. Any idea where they stand on downloads? Remember, that's how Blake determined who his save would be: Dia had the most downloads followed by his girl that he kept. Adam might do the same thing on determining who he saves.

i was interested that blake kept mentioning the itunes results in talking about dia. so i looked up the ratings on itunes of each of the people that have been mentioned in the thread and found some interesting results. and, btw, if we go by these ratings you can see that he was influenced by xenia's score: dia 4143 javier 3147 xenia 2989 vicci 2425 casey 1783 jeff 1009 frenchie 986 nokia 948 beverly 893 this begs the question: bev must have received a lot of other votes to overcome her lack of sales/ratings. dia is the clear favorite with javier in the running and xenia quite popular as is vicci. everyone else is not even close.

that is true, costa. but if people take time to rate someone they like, doesn't that indicate popularity? and might the judges/producers have actual sales figures that indicate similar trendings?

Not necessarily. I download and never rate. In fact, I don't think I've EVER rated anyone on iTunes. I think it might speak more to the demo than anything else.

you could be right there...but in any case, peeps like the demos of the folks listed and we are left to guess if they actually voted or not. i'll check on the ratings for next week just to give me something to obsess over.
