I thought that I'd start a separate thread for tonight's show like we do for American Idol. To be honest, I haven't followed them through the last few weeks for ... what do they call them ... the battle rounds, but I'm interested in what happens in the live show tonight.

So does anyone know how this show is going to work? Is it a similar format to AI?

I just read that Christina & Blake's 8 sing tonight, then next week Cee Lo and Adam's teams perform. Also read that iTunes downloads count as votes for the artist.

It sounded like 2 from each team are eliminated - judge gets to pick one to keep and the public vote picks one to keep. Not sure how it works from there. I like that they are limiting votes as well! Great move!

Halfway thru, just watched Dia. I love her voice and what she did with Kanye's song but... I absolutely cannot stand the shy thing. If she doesn't ball up, I hope she goes soon. The aw shucks thing will get old really fast (actually already has), and her dress didn't help matters any. Great voice, lousy performer. So far, Beverley took it with 2 and 2 performing. On Blake's team, Jared took it.

I liked Raquel and Dia last night. Hubby thinks Frenchie will win it all

Frenchie has a great voice but she has an unfair advantage. I prefer a level playing field, that's why I don't watch Dancing With The Stars. :-) I like Dia but she needs to boost her energy and personality. Same with Xenia and they both need a better stylist. They were dressed like a grandmother on stage, no offense to grandmas but Xenia is 16 and needs to dress like it. JMO

Forgot to mention that Raquel reminds me too much of a beauty queen. She's too posished and pefect.

Dia and Xenia both have great voices but zero personality. Unless they amp something up, they won't win. Raquel has a cute personality and a great voice, but she's very "pop" (almost too common). It's sort of why I prefer Beverley on Xtina's team cuz she's so unique. And I do love Frenchie. Honestly I don't think she has an unfair advantage at all. Beverley has been singing for years and without any training!!!

Costacat, I like Beverly too and love that this is an oportunity for her to put herself out there. That's what shows like this are for. To find an unnoticed talented singer, ie Beverely.

Apparently Miss Frampton has been on stage a time or two before finding her "voice".

Bonza: Ketchup, yeah, I noticed that Blake mentioned her YouTubes. I think except for Xenia (who, apparently, NO ONE knew she could sing), they've all been out there, performing, recording, whatever. At any rate, finished watching and I think Christina's team crushed Blake's. Beverley and Frenchie blew it out of the water; Raquel is a cutie and both she and Lily were OK. Jared did a rock on awesome job, while Dia and Xenia can sing they can't perform, and Patrick bored me to tears (worst song choice). So I score it 2-1. Add in the group performances and the girls on Christina's team totally walked stilettos all over Blake's entire team! Back and forth, they stomped 'em! Am totally loving the skills these people are bringing. It really is enjoyable to watch their performances, not hear a bunch of "pitchy" problems (or comments that a singer was pitchy), and to see how really polished most of these are. This really IS a singing competition. Last chance or not, this is a heckuva opportunity for these people!

I haven't seen the show yet (I have it recorded and will probably watch it tonight). So how do they decide who goes forward?

Blakes best: Jared and Patrick Xtinas best: Frenchie and Beverly Favorite of the night: Beverly Christina set up performances with the dancers, which seemed to backfire for Lily and Raquel. To me, her group performance was just a restaging of the same song sung by her, Pink, Lil Kim and Mya. Christina dominated the performance with her girls as mainly backup singers. Good though. Blake's girls were just not strong enough. Having said that, I think Patrick will be voted through (solely based on the country singing aspect). Blake will probably chose Dia as his 'save' unless Jared is selected by the public. Then, he would probably select Patrick as his save. Blake's group performance focused more on the contestants. However, it improved 100%, make that 200%, as soon as Blake stepped in to sing.

I thought he said that the public would vote one from each and then the judges could save one. So, 2 from each team would go forward.

I liked Blake's team the best. I don't always have to be entertained by big voices and back up dancers, I like mellow at times. Don't forget that the public is voting so I think Beverly and one of Blake's girls will be saved. I do enjoy this show especially Blake and Adam. Christina is a little to smart alecked for me.
