It's about time, Jimmer!! All the "almost whining" last week, and you FINALLY watched!!!

I'm enjoying this show. I'm a fan of all of the mentors except Blake Shelton (who's country and if he wasn't I'd probably like him a lot more). I like how they all four are known for different genres.

Totally cracked up at Adam thinking he got a fem and it was a guy instead. Surprised Xtina got only one guy on her team. Glad Cee Lo picked a few he did... I think he's gonna have a blast working on a country song!

LOL - Yes I finally succumbed to watching, Costa. Based on all the favorable reviews here, I couldn't stand missing it!

It's tough seeing the family and friends watching and hoping that someone turns around and chooses them. They are all talented so it's hard not to cheer for all of them. It adds so much to the excitement of the show though. Very cool.

BTW, I bookmarked that YouTube of the four mentors doing Crazy, and I have to say that's one of my favorite performances of almost all time by any "famous" people on a "reality" contest type show! Ever...

I didn't really know who Blake Shelton was until I saw him sing to Miranda Lambert in a women's love fest on CBS a few weeks ago. I think he's a pretty funny guy.

In regards to music, I would have chosen Adam or Ceelo first. Probably Ceelo because he's pretty creative, although I love Maroon 5.

Kooklie, he's hilarious. I follow him on twitter and it's pretty good. Also, it doesn't hurt that he's gorgeous and his music amazing.

His website has take 6 Tuesdays which are pretty funny, too.

Last night's show was soooo good! I really liked the girl named "Dia", and also the other dark haired girl that got chosen at the very end.

Btw, I bet this next round is going to be when they try to get rid of their not prettiest people. The ad said next week they have to whittle their teams from 8 down to 4.

Did anyone else notice that it seems as if everyone had a 'rent there? I thought it odd, even the older ones in their 20's.

I think that each coach has at least 4 potential "could be" stars on their team. I'm thinking Christina may be in trouble............she didn't seem to choose a variety like the others did. She only got 1 guy & IMO he's not as strong as many of the other guys. She got that "gay" woman who is different and good at the same time! And, of the other women she chose, I like the 2nd chance pick girl the best.

The other 3 coaches have a good mix of folks. It's clear that they all have some "disposables".

I just started watching this show, so far I really like it. I like that they are focused on their voices, not their looks or age, which I hope they continue to do. Fantastic show thus far.

Stormie, check out the link I posted last week. They are starting the performance phase so no, looks are not going to be ignored.

I started to watch AI this week, but kept thinking about "The Voice" and ended up switching channels. "The Voice" seems a bit 'fresher' to me than AI. Looking forward to next week to see what happens.

Our local radio program was talking about "The Voice" this week. The 2 guys loved the show and they usually do not agree on anything. I was surprised that they liked it, they do not like AI. Mostly, they loved the interaction of the judges, i.e. Adam "“Let me get that name for you,You dropped it" when Ceelo dropped Pink's name.

i'm a bit uncomfortable with ceelo's exchange with that contestant on his knee.
he comes across as a philanderer.
too much sexual innuendo in his comments to other contestants...even the younger ones.
actually some were more blatant.

I don't get philanderer. And I think she's plenty old enuf to say no. I get more a "pimp-i-tude" more than anything. (Also check out the placement of his hands. I think he's being very careful with that.)

ETA: I do think this show is fresh, and an improvement (so far) over AI. AI has really lost their lustre this season. After all the talk about how fresh AI would be, they really screwed themselves. So actually ANY singing contest would be fresher! :-)

Thanks for the photos, Kooklie. The person top right in Christina's group looks a lot like Haley from AI. And the girl bottom right in Ceelo's group looks tiny!

I also have reservations about Ceelo's comments. I'm hoping it's all in jest and he's professional when it comes down to it. I don't mind words as long as it's just play, and understood by all involved.

I thought it would be good to pull the photos in and remember who was chosen by whom.

My favorite photo is the one girl with the denim dress that is standing almost exactly like Christina.... it just cracks me up.

Of the 4 groups, I thought Ceelo's photo displayed more comraderie than the others. I didn't see anything weird about it. His hand is on her waist. He's a short person, so maybe they were trying to down play that in the group photo.

The girl to the right of Blake looks like Jessica Alba.

How does the next step work in this show? I think I remember hearing that the 8 on each team has to get down to 4.

Next week I think they are putting them in pairs within each group, each of a pair sings the same song at the same time, and someone (just their mentor??? all judges???) decides who was best and the other goes home. So one's cut from each pair, and a group of eight goes down to a group of four. It's not exactly going to build camaraderie!

Here's the official description, because mine's probably not clear:

In this phase the coaches will pit two of their own team members against each other in a dueling duet. After the vocal face-off, each coach, with the help of their adviser, must choose which of his/her singers are the strongest and advance them to the live shows.

Half this week, half next week.

my faves are from adam's group. i like them all.

i do admit that i'm a bit predisposed to adam since he and the maroon five started out as a local group called kara's flowers...a group that started at ds's school. the boys used to carpool ds to school when he was in junior high.
it's amusing to see them as full-fledged music stars especially since i once viewed them at high school concerts.
