The Voice (Season 2)

I like Lindsay a lot - and Jermaine's great.

Glad Jordis is still in, shame about Charlotte but i don't think they found a song that suited her.

LOL at RaeLynn going "Sh*t!" and then covering her mouth!

Christina's looking stunning again (been a while):

by **Thriller** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 3:31 pm

CHRISTINA LOOKS AMAZING NOW.

What was the point in Team Adam miming at the sides of that GCH performance? Embarrassing.

Team Blake saves were all wrong, I can get Erin as she was good but I thought Jermaine was awful and Rae Lynn not great. Charlotte and Naia were much better especially Charlotte who was so at ease in her performance - just don't think people liked 'her'. Jordis was better in her save me performance than the main show.

Team Christina, it was obvious Jessie was fine and I'm really glad Lindsay was saved. Chris is OK but I kinda don't like him and it didn't even look like Christina was enthused with him being saved. Shame about Sera, she sounded fantastic on "Vision Of Love" but her "Find Your Love" wasn't her best. Ashley was better doing the Alanis song.

Overall I think Blake has a pretty weak team and I doubt he can win. Christina has two potential winners IMO.

Totally, and yes both nights Christina looked STUNNING

Christina was such a bitch to her Mickey Mouse club friend yesterday. At least she could've spoken about the good side of the performance.
ps: And NO that's not being honest, that's being a bitch!

Team Adam- Pip was amazing, Katrina, Tony was pretty good, Mathai was okay, Kim had wrong song choice, but it was solid perofrmance, Karla will be out tonight for sure...

Team Cee Lo- Juliet and Jamar were amazing, Cheesa could have better song choice, but her performance anyway was good, Tony was good, he wasn't so scary as usual, James and Erin are probally out tonight!

by **Blondini** » Tue Apr 10, 2012 6:19 pm

Juliet Simms was phenomenal!

Katrina was good but i agree with Cee Lo. The song sounds like nothing without Corgan in it - reduced to blandness.

Mathai good - not sure about the song but she has nice tone.

Tony Lucca did OK. Christina was a bit unfair - she probably never liked him!

Tony Vincent was a bit ordinary this time - bizarre song to pick - surely Shout would have suited him more? Take away his intensity, you take away him.

Erin - nice enough but it doesn't showcase voice ability AT ALL. Annoying because she's one of the best and most interesting vocalists there.

Karla - virtually no voice at all! :lol:

I have nothing to say on the rest. Except woo the stilt guitarists! :lol:

Juliet Simms is the best singer of the first two seasons of the Voice. DAMN. Her voice is absolutely mindblowing.

I must say that so far the right people advanced. I hate Jessie Campbell though, I think he is so overrated and annoying.

by **croatiaxtina** » Wed Apr 11, 2012 4:50 pm

I think Xtina and Cee Lo has the strongest team this season, and Blake has the weakest team!

1. Team Xtina- Lindsey and Jesse
2. Team CeeLo- Jamar and Juliet
3. Team Adam- Katrina and Pip
4. Team Blake- Jordis

SHE IS A JUDGE, WHAT DO JUDGES DO? Speak about the positive all the time???? SHE IS A JUDGE, that's her job, to criticize... I'm actually fine with negative criticism, not all contestants are good...and since when is being a bitch speak about a contestant's participaction? LOL

To be honest, her remark was bitchy :lol:

by **Blondini** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 3:55 am

Technically, she's a coach, not a judge.

Meh - i prefer Tony and Erin to Chessa. Erin never had a proper song to showcase her style. She chooses Your Song??

I'm glad she said that! He isn't as good as he thinks, I do think people are voting for him because of the connections.

Some awful performances this week, two coming from Erin who I went right off, the girl who sang "Airplanes" and Kim's "save me" performance was awful - she lost it. I'm glad Adam saved Katrina out of those three.

Juliette was easily the surprise performance of the week, brilliant as was Jamar. Glad Cheesa got another chance.

by **king_oxymoron** » Fri Apr 13, 2012 4:44 pm

Okay so there were a couple of standout performances but I think I enjoyed last weeks better.

01. Jamar - Are You Gonna Go My Way?
Thought this was brilliant. He brought presence, a great vocal, fun, all that he needed to bring really.

02. Juliet - Roxanne
I thought this was very impressive though I think some are going a bit overboard saying she's the best ever. She's good at what she does but I'd like to see a softer side.

03. Pip - When You Were Young
Didn't really get the criticism for this, thought he let go and gave his all. Certain cheesy things he does annoy me but that's usually outside of performance.

04. Tony Lucca - In Your Eyes
I liked this, a big step up from his battle. Thought it was very powerful. I don't think Christina was being unneccessary, she maybe didn't need to add 'celebrity sway' but regardless of how well she knows him, if she thinks he is one-dimensional, she should say so.

05. Mathai - Ordinary People
Her voice is very unique and charming and at times beautiful. Not sure if this was THE best song for her but there were moments of brilliance.

06. James Massone - Don't Know Why
It didn't really go anywhere but he certainly has a beautiful voice and it was a lovely listen.

07. Katrina Parker - Tonight, Tonight
Could she have looked anymore Adele? Thought she was stunning. I really liked the performance in general. It was subtle, but powerful.

08. Karla - Airplanes
I thought she kept command of it, it didn't run away with her with it's wordiness, but perhaps not the best song for her. Like, not love.

09. Cheesa - Don't Leave Me This Way
The first of those I didn't really like, it was very cheap karaoke for me.

10. Kim - Rolling In The Deep
Could there have been a more uninspired choice? And she didn't even attempt to change it. Not good enough but at least you could see the hunger in her eyes.

11. Erin Marin - Walk Like An Egyptian
Some nice bits but not enough.

12. Tony Vincent - Everybody Wants To Rule The World
So creepy, didn't like it.

So my picks would have been:
Cee-Lo: Jamar, Juliet, James (Cheesa)
Adam: Pip, Tony, Mathai (Katrina)

So the results were exactly as I hoped, yay!

They were no brainers really. Karla at least gave Katrina a bit of a run for her money while Kim gave up, but Erin and Tony had nothing on Cheesa... that NOTE! Wow, she pulled it out when needed.

Interestingly, on the NBC YouTube page, from the live shows, Lindsey's 'Somebody TIUTK' is most viewed, then Rae Lynn 'Wake Up Call' and then Ashley De La Rosa with 'Paris'

by **jpguy** » Fri Apr 13, 2012 5:09 pm

IMO, Tony Lucca was just fine... He's hot hahahaha.... And I think Christina just stated her opinion, that other girl who performed "Turning Tables", was sooooooooo dreadful! I loved this girl on TeamXTina who rocked it a bit .... she was soooo good, I totally loved her style, she looks like african-american, and she sings Rock music... IT works so good on her !

by **king_oxymoron** » Fri Apr 13, 2012 9:21 pm

That's Ashley De La Rosa 8-)

by **jpguy** » Tue Apr 17, 2012 2:02 am

I liked Xtina's performance

!! Ashley de la Rosa and Chris Mann are my favourites so far!

by **jpguy** » Tue Apr 17, 2012 2:48 am

I dont know why people are so upset at Xtina for removing Jesse off the competition, he was bad IMO... not the kind of guy that i'd run to buy an album from... now in the other hand Ashley and Chris are absolute album sellers I guess

!!

by **greek_boy** » Tue Apr 17, 2012 12:53 pm

Didn't like Lindsey's song choice

she should pick a dark song next time.
RaeLynn is so cute and i really like her performances. She could be country's next Taylor Swift lol.
Ashley is the biggest surprise of the 2nd season!

Exactly.

Christina must have had some kind of argument with Jesse backstage or something to take him off like that, he was the biggest contender. Maybe he got a record deal and it was better to take him off, I don't know... or maybe she was just being a bitch as usual.

LMAO! That's one ridiculous thought on her... what does that even have to do with the instant elimination that the producers forced the Coaches to go on... IMO , he was bad... I don't care about all those stories about his daughter, and all that stuff.. it is emotional indeed, but where would he grow from here? ... I mean... Javier Colon , where is he at? It's time for something more exciting, someone new, I'm completely sure NO ONE in America would buy an album from him just because he doesn't draw any attention... I think THE VOICE producers made them run these contestants out OR it was fixed, because they obviously want a succesful artist from this season, no another flop like Javier... so I'm fine with this decision...

She was a surprise this week. Pity about Jordis - it was great this week and not dissimilar from Ashley. But i get Blake's reasoning. No bothered about Jesse.

by **jpguy** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 4:06 pm

I hate how Ashley de la Rosa was rejected

!!! I really liked her!!

He may not be a type of person can get popular. You heard the comments from those coaches. You may also hear his voice in the battle run. How can he be bad at singing?

He is one of the best vocal in this season. Cee Lo also said the he is the one to beat. I agree with YesMC's guess. Something happened between Jesse and Christina. Christina said it pretty clearly in that show.

Using the excuse that Jesse does not improve as much as the other is just lamb.

When you had 50 score for the test, there is plenty of room for improvement. When you had 95 score, how much can he improve?

by **borneoman** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 4:58 pm

I also thought Jessie had zero likeability... just cos Adam said he was the one to beat, that doesn't make him likeable or a good seller... he wasnt selling a thing on Itunes, out of all the people in Christina's team only Lindsay sells...

Was most surprised yesterday at the opera guy being the audience's #1 but he clearly gets more phone calls than downloads... I think that's why Christina kept Lindsay over Ashley, cos she knows Lindsay sells...

I was also surprised that the backup singer was the audience #1 in Blake's team... and even most surprised when he didn't peak Raelynn!!! Erin was/is the weakest link, big voice but zero emotion, cannot see the likeability either... and she was the one selling the least on Itunes...
