'The Voice': Judith Hill sounds off on her surprise elimination from Season 4
http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2013/05/the-voice-judith-hill-sounds-off-on-her-surprise-elimination-from-season-4.html?track=zap2it-email-newsletter-May302013
The shocking elimination of Hill and Simmons, both of whom were on coach Adam Levine's team, shook the Maroon 5 frontman, whose candid reaction was caught on a hot microphone. Levine muttered "I hate this country" upon hearing the results, earning him quite a bit of scrutiny from fans who felt offended by his remark.
Hill was kinder in her assessment of the nation, though she clearly felt her elimination was more fault of the voting public's. When asked what the competition taught her, she replied, "I think I've learned more about America. I've learned more about how they receive music and how to really make sure everything is something they can relate to."
Let's hope the artist can find a way to relate to the country going forward as she embarks on her career.

Tuesday's ratings told a pretty familiar story from the past couple of weeks: "The Voice" was far and away the night's top show in both viewers and adults 18-49 -- and carried NBC to a win in the latter category
Wednesday, NBC's "Healing in the Heartland" benefit concert scored Wednesday night's biggest audience as it raised money for victims of the Oklahoma tornadoes. It was also the No. 2 show of the night in adults 18-49, trailing FOX's "Masterchef," which improved on its numbers from last week.

I was not surprised by Judith's elimination, really. I know she's an excellent singer but for me, she didn't have "heart" in her singing. I never felt drawn in by her singing. I expected more from her. I prefer someone who is more real with their performance than someone who is technically perfect.

Speaking of Blake Sheldon's fundraiser "Healing in the Heartland" Wed night, does anyone know if the songs from that are available on itunes? I LOVED the final duet with Blake and Usher and would consider purchasing if available.

I wish I could have had a cam on my living room tonight. DH got so mad that the Swon Bros did a Merle Haggard song, but no one ever mentioned them.
I had to tie him down, rewind, and show him that they did give credit to Merle Haggard.....LOL
I am telling you, Merle Haggard fans are die-hard.

I like the Swon Brothers.  They're entertaining.
I prefer to watch a recording of this show so that I can fast forward through that stupid sky box and that dingy girl who talks to the contestants. I really like The Voice, with the exception of this part of it.

I actually had tickets once to see Merle Haggard, but he cancelled. And it was a long drive so I got my money back. But.. the second act, which filled in for the whole concert, was The Judds and I missed an opportunity to see them early in their career.
Crazy was a little odd.. at times..
I would send Sasha home.
Michelle is very entertaining. I'd pay to see her.

I love Michelle, and have from Day #1. I also think that she and Usher make a really good combination; she chose correctly.
I will have to watch it "on demand" today, sadly I fell asleep right after "Crazy". Somehow if I hear "Crazy", I want it to be the Patsy Cline version. It's so iconic. I was sorry for that song choice.

I would be surprised if Michelle & Danielle have anything to worry about tonight.
I agree that either Holly or Amber will prob. go tonight. If I was a betting gal, I'd put my money on Holly going. Just don't think she's got the like ability factor that Danielle or Michelle, or the Swon's have. I don't think Sasha has that like ability factor with the fans as well either but, I really adore Shakira's enthusiasm about Sasha & I would bet that got her enough votes to keep her safe at least tonight.

I am ready for the Swon's to go and then Sasha. I like Amber, Danielle or Michelle for the win.

I've been surprised that the Swon's have gotten as far as they have. They're good - but kinda in a lounge act way - not selling out to huge crowds. However, folks like them & are voting to keep them in this show.
It's not just about talent anymore because they all have talent. It's more about the popularity with the folks who actually vote (no, I'm not a voter).

The season finale of "Revolution" and the Top 6 performances on "The Voice" gave NBC a ratings win Monday night, and both shows improved on their numbers from a week ago. "The Voice" also stopped its weeks-long trend of declining in adults 18-49.
NBC easily led the night in viewers, drawing 9.5 million people and a 6.0 rating/10 share in households in primetime. ABC (5.2 million, 3.6/6) beat out CBS (4.5 million, 3.0/5) for second. FOX came in fourth with 1.7 million viewers and a 1.1/2. The CW (560,000, 0.4/1) trailed.
NBC scored a 2.8 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic, beating second-place ABC (1.5) by a healthy margin. No one else could break 1.0 -- CBS came in at 0.9, FOX at 0.7 and The CW at 0.2.
