Braiden (Team Gwen) sang a Rock song....not impressed
Amy (Team Adam) nearly put me to sleep.
Mark (Team Pharrell) was really, really great.
Emily Ann (Team Blake) sang Country. She was good but needs a little more flair. JMHO

Korin (Gwen) not good at all. Maybe it was song choice.
Barrett (Blake) I like him but again....not great song choice.
Maybe it's just me. Any other opinions out there??

You're welcome. I'm actually watching Dancing With the Stars. 
But that's why I appreciate the updates. I'm recording The Voice and I'll be watching later.

Madi (Pharrell) one of the band members during rehearsal recommended she do Reggae. She was good. It's unbelievable that she's only 16.
Jeffrey (Gwen) pretty good. Better than most tonight.

Earlier Blake n Gwen had some banter between them and it was pretty funny. All the judges cracked up.
Shelby (Adam) she made a mistake and got ahead of the band. I didn't hear it but the judges thought she recovered very well. Her voice is powerful.
They seem to be saving the best for last tonight. Evan, Zachary and Jordan.

Jordan (Adam) hit one out of the park. His voice is soo pure and powerful. Everyone is standing and applauding.
Evan (Pharrell) sang before Jordan and his voice is great also.
Zach (Elvis) gets the pimp spot. He's on Team Blake and we didn't see Elvis tonight.

Shelby did pretty well too. So far, the show it a bit boring. Was this ballad night?

Great Banner, Jimmer! thanks so much; makes the discussion portion so much easier!
I agree with the above comment re "Korin (Gwen) not good at all"(with her song Tintanium) and her bleached blonde hair, neither of which i cared for.
She didn't seem as genuine and unique as usual.
Her performance actually lost me the show for the rest of the night: I switched away and watched the new HBO documentary on the growth of Latin singers and other performers in this country--quite excellent if you get the chance to watch! Every time I would briefly checked back on the voice subsequently, they were showing a commercial so I finally gave up for the night. Will catch it later on demand.

Thanks for all the nice comments about the banner.
I'm looking forward to seeing the show but my expectations are a bit lower, based on the general comments. My question (as always) is did anyone step out there and take any risks? I find that most performers on singing shows now tend to take a very safe approach. Safe can be boring.

I watched 2 hours in about 10 minutes. I agree, it was boring. Braiden is from CT so he's on our news quite a bit. He's a cute kid, but I just think there were better people eliminated before him.
When Adam eliminated Blaine, that was it for me. I think rock music has been really suffering for several years now. It would have been nice to see Adam support it. I am so tired of pop and country.

I wish that the judges would encourage more risks and get the contestants to really go for it. Especially on a show like The Voice where the judges have such a dominant role. It's strange. This is probably these contestants' one big chance in a lifetime to stand out and be memorable and it rarely happens.
Please tell me if you can think of others since but the last person that I can think of on a reality singing show who stood out, took chances and was willing to be different was Adam Lambert and that is quite a while ago.

Does just 1 go home tonight? If I remember correctly, last season the bottom 2 did a sing off & America voted & the one w/the most votes from that sing off got to stay another wk.

I'll be super surprised if it's someone other than Korin that goes home.

Glad it wasn't only me that thought the show was ho-hum last night.

This doesn't bode well because I generally find The Voice rather ho-hum even when most people are saying they enjoyed it.

Texasdeb, yes, just one will go home tonight. I'm not sure how the "one" will be decided.
Jimmer, thanks so much for the great banner!!
I hasn't seemed like a very exciting season so far. I keep waiting for someone to knock my socks off and it's just not happening. I'm afraid it's already Jordan's to lose. He does have a beautiful voice and can sing the crap out of all the songs he's done....he's just not "exciting".
Korin should be the one to go tonight. I can't believe Gwen talked her into cutting and bleaching her hair out! It looked terrible on her!
Unfortunately, if the ITunes charts are the same as the votes, it may be Braiden. He was on the bottom of the charts.
1. Jordan
6. Amy
9. Jeffery
11. Barrett
20. Emily Ann
26. Zach
34. Madi
35. Shelby
55. Korin
56. Evan
62. Mark
76. Braiden

I'm not done w/Braiden so I sure hope it's not him to go. I would be fine w/Mark or Korin going home. I don't really care for Emily Ann either but don't think she's in any danger. I don't get Evan not being higher up - he is really good but didn't have his best night last night....hope he is safe.
I agree that this is Jordan's to lose but he has no "it" factor.
