From the website:
"In this final performance phase of the competition, the top contestants from each team will compete against each other during a live broadcast. The television audience will vote to save one contestant on each team, leaving the coach to decide live who they want to save and who will not move on. At last, each coach will have his/her best contestant left standing to compete in the finale. From these four, one will be named "The Voice" - and will receive the grand prize of a recording contract and $100,000.


So it looks like to me that we vote to save one from each team. Then out of the other 3 on each team, the judges choose which one goes home from their team. We are only voting to save someone.

I don't know how it will work for finale when there are 4 left. Maybe that's when we actually vote for who wins.

Oh, thanks for clarifying the voting! So, we save one from each team, and then 3 go on (the one we save, and 2 decided by the celebrity)?

So, one each goes from Blake's team and Cristina's team. Next week, we have the other two teams, and two more will go from there, leaving three on each team?

Does the voting work the same then? We save one again from each team, and the celebrity sends of the other two home.

When there are only two left on each team, do we choose then? (this seems complicated to me!)

I must have missed something.....I thought "America" saves 1 from ea. team & the coach selects another, leaving them ea. w/2 for the next round of comp. I thought that in this round 2 from ea. team are eliminated.

I'm pretty sure I got this right. If I'm right (and I could be wrong :-(, then here are my predictions for Blake & Christina's teams:

Team Blake:
America saves - Dia
Blake saves - Patrick (or whatever his country guy's name is - you know, the one that Christina keeps trying to get the pants off of....lol)

Team Christina:
America saves - Beverely
Christina saves - Frenchie

That very well could be, Texasdeb, but they sure don't explain it very well at the website.

No Kar. Two from each team (Xtina and Blake) get eliminated next week. The public gets to save one on each team and put him/her thru to the semifinals, and them the judges get to save one on that judge's team and put him/her thru.

Two saves, two boots. Each team.

I think Team Christina will definitely be Bev and Frenchie.

I think Blake's team is wide open. I can't see him saving any of the girls. They are both so unique but I just don't see them getting the votes.

FWIW, I actually did go vote for Beverley. I didn't vote for anyone on Blake's team cuz I don't care that much. If I had, I'd have voted for Jared.

A far as I'm concerned they could get rid of Christina in a heartbeat. I love her singing, but as a judge she is as annoying as all hell. Wish she would cover up 'the girls' a little bit more. Seems like they are ready to pop out at a moment's notice.

During the Lady Marmalade performance, I was wondering how the heck her costume stayed on and the girls stayed in. I also don't remember her being so voluptuous so am wondering if she had work done recently. (The pregnancy wouldn't have created the "implant bulge" that she shows.)

So Costa...when the public "saves" does that mean the judges select who they want gone and then if that person was the public fave they stay? I'm so confused!

Maybe they will announce the audience favorite first then the judge will choose their save. The other 2 go home.

I suspect it'll be "the public saved [name]. Now coach, who do YOU want to save on your team?"

So, for example, assume Christina wanted Beverley to go on to the next round. The public saves Raquel. So now Christina can "save" Beverley, and both Raquel and Bev go on to the semifinals. Or the opposite... she wants to save Bev, but we (the public) save her, so now Christina can save her next choice (hopefully Frenchie!).

Does that make sense?

Yup, public saves are first, then the mentor gets to select his favorite from his remaining 3. makes perfect sense to me.

I love her singing, but as a judge she is as annoying as all hell.

i get the impression she developed the show and is sort of the senior judge. However, its her blurting voice and Loud boisterous Fishwife Laugh that gets me. It doesnt go with her looks.

and speaking of looks, i spent all last show trying to figure out what didnt look right. i finally decided that they made one eye crooked. Maybe even the eyelashes were halfcoming off LOL It reminded me of that Cherie Oteri character from SNL.




unbelievable, i've found a video and WOW she sounds like Christina too LOL especially teh laugh

I'll start by saying that I like this show. I like the premise and I like that the judges are generally positive and work with the contestants to make them better performers. I also like that in the audition rounds they don't have any joke contestants. And the turning around of the chairs in the audition rounds is suspenseful and very cool. I also like that many of the contestants are performing current hit songs.

So I am pretty enamored with this show. However, taking a deep breath and stepping back, I also have to say that generally the finalists aren't much superior to the American Idol finalists. I think the final four on AI last season would have done fine on The Voice.

I wonder what Simon is thinking. The Voice is getting such good ratings. I wonder if he is concerned that the market for this type of show is getting saturated?

UK is starting its own version of the Voice. SO the franchise is spreading out.

I like the show very much. Like Christina. I think the Maroon judge is a bit testy and the country judge who I usually like, often skirts the edge of inapproiate innuendo, which I wish he'd lose, but I love it when they sing together. Love the mentoring too.

AI is so much more about bloated production, guest singers and groups, promoting the judges or at least two of them and Ryan.. and maybe it goes on too long in terms of each show and in terms of season.

I like the pace of this show better. So far.

I really like the show too. However, I can do without Christina's arrogant, my singers are better than yours, attitude.

I don't mind Christina liking her team (she should), but so far (Im just watching the live show and I'm at Beverly) she's just so rude. She has made subtle digs at Blake's first contestant (who I thought did a good job) and has talked over the other judges' critiques (and they have not been negative about her contestants). Her first contestant (Racquel?) was horrid. She was screechy, out of tune and did a heck of a lot more posing than singing, but none of the other judges pointed that out.

I have to admit that I watched about half of the show and then deleted it. I just didn't care that much for it. Some of these people have great voices (Frenchie and Beverly for example) but I'm just not enjoying the trash talking that Christina does. Oh well, frees up another hour for me to do something I probably should be doing instead of watching television (and waiting for Big Brother to come back on!).

Jimmer, I totally disagree about the quality of singers. I can't see Lauren making it on this show. I can't see Scott either (he wouldn't listen to the coaches).

And honestly, I am enjoying the voices of almost all of the contestants on this show. Most especially because there ARE no "joke singers." :-)

I'm with Jimmer. After watching tonight, between the two shows, I can count on one hand with room left over the ones I think are any good - and I mean good as opposed to ones I would listen to. There is one definite and one maybe in that category.

Frenchie and Beverly both have big voices. Not surprised they are the two on Christins team.

I was a little disappointed with some of the songs that CeLo and Adam choose for their singers. Having said that, there were some performances that just blew me away.

I was really shocked at who Blake chose for his pick. I thought for sure that Jared Blake would be chosen, or even the country singer.

I'm not surprised at all at the two picked from Christina's team.

I loved the Sly and the Family Stone song that CeeLo did with his group.
