I liked that everyone could sing and no one was made fun of. - I know, it is not a popular opinion in some quarters

AWK-ward !! didnt like all the judges Faking each other out as to whether the buttons were hit. Only two people seemed nervous and I thot it was Highly suspicious that unlikely people were chosen. I found the duet and the Young girl Horrific and out of tune. The husband was so bad I thot for sure she would be offered something If her husband left LOL The young girl doing the extremely shakey Karaoke of Bjork-type singing was AWFUL. Watching the judges faces as they turned around was AWKward. you could see they were startled by a few of the NONbeautiful singers. this seems like its a bunch of ringers who were told by producers who to chose IF chosen. OR possibly they are 'interviewed' by producers as to what they would consider. TJE was a natural, i loved his natural look, casual style and the timbre of his voice. there was something very likeable about him.

Serate, I mean the same night. It takes the fun out of it seeing it 4 or 5 days later than everyone else saw it. Especially when it's a contest show.

It looks like Blakes team pales in comparison with the the others.Maybe he will get some really good ones next round.

For anyone that missed it, it looks like NBC has it available online.

CeeLo was here at the West Virginia University Coliseum last night and put on what I understand was a great show. I loved TheVoice and it was cool that Cee Lo recognized Frenchie.I am surprised that she is not super busy as at least a back up singer.

Found it kind of boring, actually. Don't like the set either. Maybe it will grow on me. But I fell asleep at the halfway point.

I loved this show. It's based on a hit show from Europe. It was refreshing that they didn't make fun of any of the contestants.

Agree with Texannie. I love Adam Levine and Blake Shelton and am starting to love Ceelo. I thought those 3 were great. Never really a Christina fan, I felt that she was less comfortable with the setting. To be honest, the singers didn't really stand out for me, only the judges. We'll see where it goes a bit longer. Thinking about who I would want to work with... unless they have more support from other record producers, I would choose either Ceelo or Adam. Both of them have worked on a number of creative projects. I just see them as more involved in the music that Christina. Not really sure about Blake, but he makes great eye-candy. (lucky Miranda Lambert)

Sunshyne and I may be on the same page. I thought the duet was horrendous -- that was the first singing I heard when I turned it on and I couldn't believe they were picked! could it have been a huge coincidence that all of the judges have 3 on their team?! How did that happen?! So, it feels like there's some manipulation going on with who's picking who. I wonder how the ratings will be. This seems like a show that would have been good for the summer.

I'm enjoying the show so far, but mostly because I love how the auditions are going. I bet the singers that have been chosen are thrilled that they were chosen because of their VOICES. (My blind beau from a few years ago? Absolutely loved the fact that he liked me, before he found out what I looked like. Makes SUCH a difference!

I don't know how they choose who they want without hearing the entire talent pool. What if they've all chosen eight and then there are 10 amazing singers left? I suspect we're seeing the orders edited, and they will each pick six and then they're going to pool the others and decide their last two each between them. Kind of takes the "blind" part of it away, but I don't know how else they can get exactly eight without risking losing a lesser person now to possibly not get a better person later. Having only six each picked blind would also mean we'd have an episode like last night's next week, then the week after a slightly different format to give each of them their final two. But I enjoyed the show a lot, mostly because of the judges. Blake, Adam and Ceelo were kind of cute. Christina not so much, but I don't mind her.

I really enjoyed this show. I love the premise that it is the voice that counts and not only the look. Plus, I love that The Voice beat out DWTS in the ratings. I read they made such a big deal of Pia singing while Mark and whomever danced just to steal some of The Voice's thunder. Ha ha, it back-fired.

I thought the pace of the show was refreshing. I didn't feel like I had to reach for the FF button every few minutes like I do with certain parts of Idol and DWTS.

I didn't plan to watch, but put it on because there was nothing else I wanted to see last night. I was pleasantly surprised and hooked within 15 minutes. However, I completely disagreed with the coaches that loved the couple. I thought they sounded like a couple of screeching cats. It was very unpleasant to my ears.

I'm just now watching it.. not out of disinterest last night but because I got blindsided with an early drive today so had to get to bed early last night. I didn't even watch DWTS and wouldn't have watched it for Pia .. interesting article about why AI allowed the Pia performance at this stage.. and agree.. http://www.popeater.com/2011/04/27/pia-toscano-dancing-idol-voice-mark-ballas/?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl2%7Csec1_lnk3%7C58864 Oh and I'm liking THIS show so far.

LOL @ the DWTS smashdown. Honestly, there is no competition there. In fact, Pia could learn from just about EVERYONE who sang on TV... they all performed and they all sang with heart. I'm thinking Pia is prostituting herself too much and the more she's shoved down my throat the less I like her and the more I think I'm glad she got kicked off so early. I thoroughly enjoyed TV. There were some great singers and it'll be interesting to see how they are mentored. So far, there have been 2 who got all 4 judges to turn around. I like how they let the singers pick if more than one mentor turns. I totally love the banter between the four mentors, too. I like all of them (although I have to say I'm not a fan of Blake's singing so much), but it's fun to watch them interact. And beg. The best part? We don't have to listen to anyone who has no business even pretending they can sing. AI and AGT both can learn a lot from this. THIS show is enjoyable WITHOUT the train wrecks, thankyouverymuch!

I thought that Pia gave a great performance on DWTS. I haven't seen this show yet but it certainly sounds interesting and it seems to be getting a lot of favorable reviews from people here who have seen it. I'm curious if anyone found the set distracting or the conceit of not allowing them to see the performers?
