Drat! I'll have to go look and see if it's online when I get home. I didn't remember to set it to record before I left... :-(

Did no one watch last night? There were a couple of pretty good battles and one "no brainer."

Cee Lo: He paired two great singers for a great battle. Personally, I preferred Nakia, and that's who he brought to the next round. Good battle.

Blake: No brainer. Ellenowen looked seriously uncomfortable. Jared totally killed it.

Adam: This was a toss up. I thought Javier sang best but I thought Angela had a better performance. I didn't know which way he was gonna go.

Xtina: AWESOME battle! Loved Cee Lo's analysis of Beverly (she stole it, redid it, and sold it back to him). Justin totally stepped up and surprised me, but Beverly threw down the gauntlet and he just couldn't pick it up.

I watched. I agree with most of your thoughts on it.

I thought Javier took it, but from promos, it seems like he's one of the contestants being sold or favored. I've seen him shown and heard it said that he's considered one of the best in the competition. I think he's good, but so far, I wouldn't call him great.

I thought Jared really killed it. I was happy for him. It had to be intimidating to go against 2 people but he did great despite that.

And, Beverly. Wow, she is really good and also seems to be very explosive. It's like she has so much energy that it comes out in such an intense way.

I totally agree with you about Javier. He seems to be The Chosen One for this show. And I'm not really sure I totally agree with 'em on this. Maybe he sounds better, or performs better, in person. But I think I've heard/seen better singers here.

Totally am in love with Beverly! She just has so much passion that it pours out of her! She is one heckuva rocker, so I can't wait to see what she does with a softer ballad. And if she can contain herself doing one! :-)

I'm surprised Elenowen was ever chosen in the first place. I suspect being a duo had something to do with it; I don't think either of them was a strong enough singer on their own.

I think I must have missed a show, or some part of the organization. I thought Beverly was already in a duel? Then I saw her in another one last night?

I guess I was assuming the pros had to put all their singers thru the duel process?

So am I correct in saying that so far all of Christina's singers are bald women powerhouses? That's kind of cool...LOL!

I think Elenowen had great harmonies, but lousy stage presence.

Beverly wasn't in a duel. Maybe you're thinking of Vicki? Cee Lo's powerhouse wild child?

Could be, Costa. I listen while I"m working so not necessarily paying full attention.

So, I am right then? Every singer goes thru a paired duel, and then each judge is down to 4?

I think so. Maybe it's just me but I think this show has weird scheduling. They didn't show a lot of the auditions and now it's only on one hour a week at 10:00 PM. Why only one hour and the very late timeslot?

I really wanted to see this last night, but was too tired to watch.

Yup, Kar. The coaches are whittling their teams down to four (pairing two against two each week, so we've got another two weeks of "battles). Then the "live" performances begin. From the website:

quote:

At the end of the battle episodes, only the strongest members of each coach's roster remain and proceed to the live stage shows. 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.




I'm kinda liking the weekly shows. It sort of makes me want more (unlike the two-three times per week Idol overload).

The remaining two battles will also be at 10pm, but it's moving up to 9pm for the final four shows starting June 7th. I think maybe the "sweeps" finales shoved the show off schedule. 10pm is definitely too late for a show like this.

I've heard Beverly sing live here in south florida. Wait till you really hear what she can do. She's an amazing entertainer.

I would totally love to hear her in person. So far, she's my favorite of the two on Xtina's team who've gone thru to the live performance rounds.

That's cool you've heard Beverly live, Indakeys! I bet she's amazing because her energy just coming through the TV is so powerful.

I like what you said, Costa, about Beverly having to soften it down into a ballad. Will she be able to contain herself? lol She reminds me of a kid who's had far too much sugar. Thankfully, she's a great singer.

My hope is they let her just sing a slower song with her guitar because so far you really cant tell what a great voice she really has with the power songs she has been singing. Not that she isnt doing power great!

I just went and listened to, and then bought, several of her songs. She really does do slower ballad-type songs well.

Hopefully, she'll be able to show that side during the competition. I know she's all fired up right now, and it works with the songs she's sung so far, but if she gets a chance to do something like "Moon and You"... OMG she could totally just kill it!

Thanks for the clue to go search out her music! And to learn a bit more about her! :-)

Great show last night. I pretty much agreed with almost everyone except that I'd have taken the folk singer (was that Adam's?).

Same here Costa. I think most of the picks from last night will end up as second stringers compared to the rest of the competition. At least no one really stood out last night, IMO.

Yeah, I agree. I think there were a couple that might've (the one who grew up singing in a church) but they did right by eliminating her. There were a couple that seemed just too meek and mild (Devon on Adam's team and Dia on Blake's team) that I think will just be chewed up and spit out by some of the powerhouse singers during the live performance rounds.

Oh yeah, and the duo, the pig farmers? I didn't they they were all that. Must've had a better "performance" in person.

I think Ceelo made a huge mistake by keeping the pig farmers over the beautiful girl with the golden voice!

I dunno... I think the pig farmers could've had a better performance that the pretty girl. She had a great voice but seemed a bit wooden on stage. At least they had personality that didn't seem rehearsed.

Just heard them talking about the Voice on the radio. Said grown men would cry because they were so excited to see Christina on the stage.

Are they watching the same show as me??
